Tsuntsun Tsutsumi
The Prickly Gift. Five identical gift boxes stand in a circle. One of them is her. At the start of each round her lid lifts for a peek, then all five shuffle while party poppers fire at you. When they land, hit the one you think is her.

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
Her lid lifts and sparkles for a moment before every shuffle.
It is the clearest sign you get. Fix your eyes on her.
The boxes swap places, trade round the circle, and later swap in pairs. The beat gets faster each round. No box can be hit while they move.
Follow her with your eyes while you walk.
A cannon in the stands turns toward you and a red circle locks on your spot.
Walk out of it without taking your eyes off her.
When the boxes land, any single aimed blow on a box picks it: a bolt, a shot, a swing, an auto-attack. A wrong box blows its lid off in a Confetti Bomb and heals her a little.
Area damage never picks. Cleaves, auras and ticks do not open a decoy.
The right box blushes and fights back: the Bow Toss when you are far from her, the Lid Slam when you are close.
Both are red circles: walk out of them and keep hitting.
A red ring round the box you opened by mistake.
Walk out, then pick again.
Partway through, one decoy copies her bow twitch.
The twitch now narrows it to two. Trust the peek.
Later the ring’s lights dip during the shuffle.
Every lid keeps a soft glowing cross. Follow the crosses.
How to beat it
- Follow, do not guess: A wrong pick heals her and breaks a flawless kill. The peek and a steady eye are the fast way; the timer beats a guesser.
- If you lose her: Wait for her bow to twitch, or compare the boxes’ ribbons once they stand still: hers runs a little longer. Both cost window time.
- Pick with something aimed: Click or Tab to a box and use a single-target blow. Do not open with an area attack.
- Keep walking: The poppers land during the shuffle. Move out of each one as you watch.
- Hit her hard once found: After the find everything counts on her, area damage included.
- Flawless: Take no popper, toss, slam or bomb, and open no wrong box.
Every class can win: each attack has a red warning on the floor and can be walked out of. About the Hug Club.
