SilverPalace Boss Guide: How to Dodge and Manage Stamina

To clear early boss encounters in SilverPalace, prioritize reactive defense over continuous attacking. Conserve your stamina bar by walking during neutral moments, dash only when a boss initiates a strike, and restrict your attacks to brief combos during boss recovery periods.

Recognizing Boss Telegraphs and Attack Windows

Prologue bosses feature clear visual wind-ups before launching heavy lunges or area-of-effect strikes. Watch for specific physical tells to prepare your defensive action:

• Crouching posture: Signals an incoming high-speed lunge attack across the arena.
• Glowing aura: Indicates an impending area-of-effect or multi-hit combo sequence.
• Weapon retraction: Precedes a heavy single-target strike with a lingering hitbox.

When a boss begins one of these wind-up animations, stop attacking immediately. Execute a dash right as the attack lands, then follow up with a short attack combo during the boss's brief recovery state. Reserve high-damage hero abilities for moments when the boss is fully stunned after completing a heavy attack chain.

Managing Defensive Movement and Stamina

In SilverPalace, every dash consumes stamina. Running completely out of stamina leaves your hero staggered and unable to avoid follow-up strikes.

To maintain a healthy stamina reserve, maintain medium spacing from the boss by walking rather than constantly dashing. Use the following movement strategy based on combat context:

Handling Phase Transitions and Character Swaps

When a boss's health bar drops to specific thresholds, it will transition into an enraged state. This shift speeds up attack intervals, alters attack rhythms, and introduces new visual effects.

When a phase transition occurs:

1. Disengage immediately: Step back to a medium distance and stop attacking for the first few seconds of the new phase.
2. Observe updated patterns: Identify the speed and range of any new attack animations before committing to offense.
3. Use character swaps defensively: If an enraged boss traps you against the arena edge or catches you low on stamina, swap to your secondary character. The switch animation grants a brief window of invulnerability and repositions your active hero away from incoming hitboxes.
