·Multi-source verified (33/33)

The Great Sabrecat is your first mini-boss encounter during the Harba invasion. It's a relatively straightforward fight designed to teach you basic boss mechanics. Phases: The Great Sabrecat has a single phase. It will primarily use claw attacks and a pouncing attack. Attacks:

  • Claw Swipe: A quick melee attack.
  • Pounce: The Sabrecat leaps at a target, dealing moderate damage.
  • Roar: Briefly stuns nearby characters.
Strategy: Focus on dodging its pounce attack, as it's telegraphed. Use your light and heavy attack combos to build Tension. When your Tension Gauge is full, unleash a Tension Burst for massive damage. Keep your distance after its pounce to avoid follow-up attacks. Healix will provide passive healing, but be ready to use any healing items if your HP drops too low. This fight is a good opportunity to practice your dodging and special skill usage. Weaknesses: None explicitly, but physical attacks are effective. Rewards: Experience, Gold, and a Monster Medal (Great Sabrecat).
