How to beat Kaiser Crab
Two bosses
Crusher: left, 209 HP.- Rocket: right, 199 HP. Puts Surrounded on you: you face the crab you last targeted with a card or potion, and the other's attacks deal 50% more. You start facing Rocket.
- Both carry Crab Rage: when one dies the other gains 6 Strength and 99 Block.
Crusher's cycle
Thrash 12, Enlarging Strike 4, Bug Sting 6 twice plus 2 Weak and 2 Frail, Adapt for 2 Strength, and Guarded Strike 12 with 18 Block.
Rocket's cycle
- Targeting Reticle 3, Precision Beam 18, Charge Up for 2 Strength, Laser 31, and an idle Recharge. Turn 4 of every cycle is Laser alone.
Who to target
End each turn targeting the crab whose next hit is bigger, above all Rocket before Laser.
Kill Rocket first: less HP, the biggest hit, and once one crab dies you face the other automatically, ending back attacks.
Time the kill for a turn you would block anyway, as the 99 Block wastes one.
At higher Ascension
- Ascension 8+: Crusher 219 HP, Rocket 209.
- Ascension 9+: Thrash and Guarded Strike 14, Bug Sting 7 per hit, Reticle 4, Beam 20, Laser 35, both Strength buffs 3.
Where it appears
Neither appears elsewhere; Crab Rage's tooltip says 5 Strength, the code grants 6.
