Ruined City

Key Mechanics

• • The raid is infinite.
• • Phase 1 boss (Smith John) spawns in the middle and does not move.
• • Handcuffs can prevent placing, selling, upgrading, and priority changes.
• • Handcuffs can be removed by teammates or expire after 20 seconds.
• • At 75% and 50% HP, Smith John spawns a cage that causes instant loss if it fully closes.
• • The cage can be countered by high damage or Repulse effects.
• • At low HP, Smith John transforms into Lord of Shadows.
• • Lord of Shadows calls out numbers 1-4; players must click towers in exact order.
• • Failure on the tower sequence causes instant loss.
• • Hard mode speeds up cage closure and shortens tower-order timers.
