What it does

It walks straight at you and touches you for 6. That is the whole plan. No wind-up, nothing it switches into, and at 0.70x your speed it can never catch you while you keep moving.

The tell. There is no wind-up. The only warning is red-pink filling more than one edge of the screen at once.

How it kills you

You stop moving to clear the pack in front of you, and the ones already behind close the gap for free. One is nothing. A screenful arriving from every edge turns a short pause into a wall.

How you beat it

  • String them into a tail behind you, then aim back down it and sweep. You never have to turn around
  • Pick your gap and walk through it before it closes, do not wait for the shot to land
  • Run the drifting wrecks as walls so the pack files around one side instead of wrapping you
