Nui-chan
The Plush. The cutest thing in the ring: a huge cheering cloud-ball of a plush with a heart on its tuft. It hugs, throws hearts, sheds pom-poms when you hit too hard, hides among copies of itself and offers you free cake. Every earlier rank’s lesson at once.
Before you go in

- Rank
- 5
- Tuned for
- Item level 55: the same key 15 set, with the Gloamhollow’s on-use trinket
The trinket for each class: Guardian: Thornwarden's Heartwood · Rogue: Glimmerdust Phial · Hunter: Lantern-Eye Lens · Firebrand: Lampwright's Hand-Lamp · Shaman: Mossmender's Seed-Pod · Cleric: Vesper Bell. Press it with your ultimate.
That is the gear this fight was tuned for. More gear makes it easier, and good play can win below it. How item level works here.
What it does
A heart pops over its tuft and beats three times on the beat. A red circle locks on your spot, then the plush crouches, hops and lands where you were.
Count the beats and walk out of the red. You end up beside it.
Pink hearts leave the tuft one on each beat and arc toward you. Each heart’s red circle locks on the spot you were standing when it was thrown.
Keep walking, in any direction but straight back. Standing to cast takes every one.
It claps and free cakes drop from above, away from you. Standing in a cake heals you, and heals the plush as well. A hug or a heart that lands on a cake squashes it.
Do not stand in the cake.
A blow above your class’s threshold knocks a pom-pom off the plush. It sits, glows, then rolls home. One that arrives heals the plush.
Any hit kills a pom-pom. Hold your biggest hits, or kill what they knock off.
Partway through it vanishes in confetti and three identical plushes swap places. Only the real one’s heart beats on the beat. A copy pops in a red ring when you hit it.
Follow the beating heart. If you hit a copy, walk out of its ring.
How to beat it
- Count the beats: The hug, the hearts and the hop all keep the festival tune’s beat. The beat helps; every hit still has a red warning with time to leave it.
- Walk the hearts: A steady walk leaves every heart behind you. Stand still and they all land.
- Skip the free cake: Standing in a cake heals you, but it heals the plush too, and you are not hitting it. Leave it.
- Mind your biggest hits: Press your biggest button only when the pom-pom it knocks off is worth it.
- Pick the real one: Watch for the tuft that beats on the beat. Do not click a copy unless you have to.
- Flawless: No hug, heart or pop lands on you.
Every class can win: each attack has a red warning on the floor and can be walked out of. About the Hug Club.
