How to beat Crusher

Facing decides the fight: before ending your turn, target the arm about to hit hardest with a cheap card so its bonus is off. Thrash and Guarded Strike are the turns that matter, Enlarging Strike hardly does.
Killing Rocket first hands Crusher 6 Strength behind 99 Block, so unless you can burst 199 (209) HP and then 209 (219) HP back to back, spread damage and finish both within a turn of each other.
Bug Sting's Weak and Frail arrive every fifth turn.
The big block goes on the Guarded Strike and Thrash that follow Adapt.

209 HP (219 on Ascension 8+).
It is the Hive boss fight Kaiser Crab, always with Rocket, which has the mirrored Back Attack and its own Crab Rage.
Crab Rage's tooltip text says 5 Strength, but the current code grants 6.

Crusher is one half of the Kaiser Crab boss (the other is Rocket); the two halves share the Kaiser Crab art and fight together.
