Elite Buff: Bouncy (Boss)

Internal engine status effect. This is the boss-specific variant of the Bouncy elite buff. Bouncy causes the enemy's projectiles or attacks to bounce between targets, hitting multiple cats with a single attack.

The boss version may have more bounces, wider bounce range, or less damage falloff per bounce compared to the standard elite Bouncy. A boss with Bouncy can hit your entire team with a single attack if they are positioned too close together. Each bounce deals significant damage, and the boss's naturally higher attack power makes each bounce more threatening.

Spread your team out to minimize bounce targets. With only one cat in range, the bouncing has no secondary targets and the attack functions as a normal single-hit. Keep at least 2-3 tiles between cats to reduce the chance of chained bounces. Shield and defensive buffs on all cats (not just the primary target) help survive bounce chains. The standard version, Elite Buff: Bouncy, applies to non-boss elites with fewer or weaker bounces.
