BOSS
COSMIC CYCLONE
Black Hole Rising is the 1st stage of Dimension of Despair. Next stage: Wrath of Black Hole.
STRATEGY
Cosmic Cyclone outranges other Cyclones, weakens your attack and gets a damage boost at low health — the Into the Future anti-Alien Treasures (400% minimum, 600% ideal) are almost required.
- Like every Cyclone it folds to crowd control: Seafarer Cat and Corrupted Psychocat both outrange it.
- Its support is minimal — only Shibaliens and Those Guys — so a lucky stunlock leaves the rest of your army free to take it down.
