Grass Aniimo Co-op Gauntlet
Boss Rush
Boss Rush is the co-op gauntlet, and it is not on the world map: a rotating trio of level 60 bosses, an affix you pick between rounds, a star grade at the end and a badge for whatever you did best. Every boss below carries the elements the game itself recommends against it, and the playstyle it rewards or punishes.
Season Departure with the Wind: Part 1
- 9 bosses in rotation

The bosses, and what beats them
Each boss is a known Aniimo in one of its forms, scaled to level 60. The recommended elements and the favoured or punished playstyle are the game’s own, shown on its own stage card.

The affixes
Between rounds you take one. They come in families: some change the ground you fight on, some change what your own team does.
Special

Essence LeechFor every 10 EP spent, restores 1% of own max HP.
Primary Attacker RuneA rune appears on the field. When a player interacts with it, they gain the rune’s power and become the Primary Attacker. The Primary Attacker deals % increased damage, while all other players deal % reduced damage. Each time the Primary Attacker is at critical HP, all other teammates lose % of their max HP, and the Primary Attacker fully recovers HP.
BlessingIncreases Aniimo’s damage dealt and healing done by 15%.
Crushing MomentumWhen the Alpha enters the Break State, it accumulates 1 stack of Vulnerability. Each stack increases damage taken by an additional %, up to stacks.
Element MasteryWhen Aniimo deal elemental counter damage, damage increases by 20%. Non-counter damage is reduced by 10%.
Interaction
Pulse CrystalAt the start of battle, a Pulse Crystal appears on the field. It periodically locks onto a player unit and fires a pulse after a short delay. The pulse damages and knocks back players it hits. The Alpha can block the pulse, taking a large amount of BREAK.
Chain SnareAt regular intervals, chains link 2 random players on the field. Linked units continuously lose HP. When the chains touch the Alpha, they bind the Alpha for 1s, briefly stopping it and dealing BREAK damage. The chains then break.
Time BombTime Bomb periodically appears on the field and detonate automatically after a short time. They also detonate immediately when attacked. Explosions deal heavy damage to players within range, and deal damage and heavy BREAK damage to the Alpha. If no target is within the blast radius, a secondary explosion triggers, dealing heavy damage to players in a much larger area.
Trick BombEffect: Every 45s, a bomb seed appears on a random Pathfinder. After 5s, the seed lands and generates a bomb warning. After 2s, the bomb explodes and permanently creates a damage zone on the ground.
ChainbotEffect: Every 45s, 1 robot appears on the field (up to 3 at a time). It fires a chain to link 1 Pathfinder who is not currently linked. Linked Pathfinders are Stunned. Destroying the robot breaks the chain and removes the status.
Environment
Magical ShellAfter taking magical damage a certain number of times, the Alpha creates a spiked shell that deals counter damage to players who deal magical damage to it.
Frequency OverloadEach time EP is consumed, 2 seconds of Overload will be gained. When Overload is stacked three times, it will be removed and you will gain Turbulence, which suppresses automatic energy regeneration for a period.
Reflective FieldThe Alpha periodically deploys a force field that reflects ranged projectiles.
Call LightningWhen a single skill cast lasts longer than 2s, summons a thundercloud at the caster’s location. After 0.5s, lightning strikes, dealing damage and reducing player damage by 30% for 5s. Can trigger once every 10s.
TurfAll terrain generated by Aniimo is treated as Turf.
Vein ResonanceWhen an Aniimo is on terrain matching its own element, it gains Vein Resonance, increasing damage dealt by 15%. This effect persists for 5s after leaving the terrain. When not on elemental terrain or when the terrain does not match its element, it gains Vein Rejection, reducing damage dealt by 10%. Vein Rejection cannot be gained while Vein Resonance is active.
Anomaly SparkWhen an Alpha accumulates stacks of Fire Debuff, it enters an “Overflowing Debuff” state. In this state, each additional stack of Fire Debuff causes the Alpha to drop an Energy Orb that can be touched. Touching the orb restores Energy.
Multi-CastWhen the Aniimo deals skill damage, it accumulates 1 point of “Casting Energy.” Reaching points of “Casting Energy” makes the next skill cost no energy and skip its cooldown.
Kinetic RecoveryThe Aniimo’s Energy cap increases by points. When Energy is below %, gain Energy for every Energy consumed.
BREAK CritDamage dealt to Alphas in BREAK state is always treated as Crit Damage.
Water Pressure ImbalanceWhen the Alpha has more than stacks of Water Debuff, stacks are consumed to enter the “Water Pressure Imbalance” state for s. In this state, each Crit Hit taken triggers 1 instance of Water damage equal to % of current Attack. Minimum trigger interval: 5 seconds.
UnscathedWhen the Aniimo’s HP is above %, basic attack speed increases by %, and REGEN speed increases by %.
Assist
GrenadierIn battles against the middle-lane and left-lane Alphas, an invincible Termite Nest Aniimo appears. It has a bombing skill and keeps bombing its target. Bombing damage increases over time.
Rolling AniipodIn battles against the middle-lane and right-lane Alphas, a giant dung ball appears periodically. Attack it to make it roll. When it hits a target, it triggers a huge explosion and deals massive damage. Rolling ball damage increases over time.

Star grades
A run is scored in stars, up to Eliminate. Each step is a fixed slice of score, so the grade is a damage race against the clock, not a difficulty setting.

FAQ
Is Boss Rush on the world map?
No. It is a separate co-op mode with its own arena, so it has no map marker at all. The bosses with map markers are the Alpha and Omega world bosses, a different tier entirely.
What level are the Boss Rush bosses?
Level 60 in every cycle currently in the client, whichever trio is up.
Which element should I bring?
Each boss carries its own recommended elements, shown on its card above. They are the game’s own recommendation for that boss, not a community guess.
