Lynx Totem attacks and how to dodge them.

Ground Pound

It leaps and slams down, hitting within 15 m with a spreading shockwave. Then it marks two spots where spires burst out (one under you if it can).

How to dodge it: Jump the shockwave and leave the mark within 1.25 s.

Lynxite Spire

The spires it raises heal it and nearby allies every few seconds, for 20 s.

How to dodge it: Break them or pull it away from them: otherwise it heals.

Sacrifice Ally

It kills a nearby ally and releases soul traps that explode and send homing souls at you.

How to dodge it: Kill its allies first: with nobody nearby, it does nothing.

Summon

Places two orbs (one at your feet) that burst and summon up to 3 lynxes each.

How to dodge it: Leave the orb at your feet within 2 s.

// loot

What it drops.

When it is the teleporter boss, each green item it drops has a 15% chance to be its boss item instead: Whispering Fragment.

Whispering Fragment

Every 5 kills, a spirit joins you and fires alongside you a few times. Each extra one, one more time.

Stacking: Each copy adds the same, no cap.

Watch out: Always 5 kills, your own (not drones'). Spirits vanish at the end of the stage; 30 at most.
