Chubs

Chubs is one half of the Chubs 'n' Nubs duo boss fight, the final boss encounter of The Junkyard in Act 1. Chubs is a blind, headless dog who cannot see your cats and reacts to damage rather than targeting specific units. Her blindness means her movement and attack directions are randomized, creating unpredictable combat patterns that can either whiff entirely or accidentally devastate a cat in the wrong position.

Chubs's specific combat abilities include shooting a poison shot when damaged and performing a melee spin attack that hits surrounding tiles. The poison shot is reactive, firing in a random direction each time Chubs takes a hit, which means attacking her always carries the risk of a cat getting poisoned. Her spin attack is an AoE that punishes cats standing too close. When Nubs is killed first, Chubs enrages for the remainder of the battle with enhanced attack properties.

Keep your distance to avoid the spin attack and spread your team to minimize the chance of reactive poison shots hitting valuable cats. Balance damage between Chubs and Nubs to prepare for a simultaneous kill, minimizing the time spent fighting an enraged survivor. Bring Poison resistance or a Cleric for cleansing if available, as the cumulative poison stacks from reactive shots can add up quickly over a long fight.
