How to Beat Droeg, the Conquerer
Droeg begins with slow stomps, heavy bone-club swings, and overhead pressure. Later in the encounter, red-cued homing fire and frost projectiles are added to those melee patterns.
Use the readable melee recoveries for measured attacks or defensive responses, then keep lateral space and nearby cover in mind once the homing projectiles appear.

- Safe response

Decision framework
Core Strategy
- Read the slow melee sequence before committing to an attack or defensive response.
- Reposition laterally to take advantage of Droeg’s slow turning.
- Track the nearest cover once homing projectile pressure joins the melee patterns.
