Every attack in The Roaring Knight's arsenal operates on fixed collision and projectile timings. Follow the dodging strategies below to minimize damage taken and maximize TP grazing.
Fountain Piercer (Wave 1–5)
Blinding white and black blades erupt from the arena floor resembling fountain geysers.
Dark Geyser Eruption
Trajectory: Massive vertical geysers erupt based on telegraph lines on the floor.
Observe telegraph lanes 0.8s prior to explosion; never cross lanes diagonally.
Void Slashes
Trajectory: Crosshair slashes rip across the entire bullet box leaving lingering damage zones.
Stay in the center intersection until lines converge, then step 1 square diagonally.
