Lucky

Lucky is the boss variant of the fortune-boosting elite buff. It grants +3 Luck Up, +10 Crit Chance, and +10 Dodge Chance while also scaling the boss down to 80% size. The boss has a green-gold semi-transparent tint. The combined stat boosts make the boss both harder to hit with attacks and more likely to deal devastating critical hits. The size reduction is purely visual and does not affect the boss's hitbox or mechanics.

On bosses, the +10 Dodge Chance is more impactful because boss fights involve many more attack rolls, meaning the dodge chance triggers more frequently over the course of the fight. Missing an attack against a boss wastes a valuable action in what is already a demanding encounter. The +10 Crit Chance means the boss's already-powerful attacks have a meaningful chance of dealing critical damage, which can one-shot cats that would survive a normal hit. Lucky on bosses with multi-hit abilities is especially dangerous since each hit rolls for a crit independently.

Guaranteed-hit abilities and auto-targeting effects bypass the dodge chance entirely. Stacking accuracy on your cats reduces the miss rate to manageable levels. For the crit threat, defensive buffs like Shield and Brace absorb the extra damage from critical hits. Spreading your team's health pools evenly ensures no single cat gets one-shot by a lucky crit. If you have abilities that reduce enemy Luck or crit chance, apply them early in the fight. The dodge chance is a statistical nuisance but should not change your fundamental strategy. Just accept occasional misses and plan around them.
