Anubis/Tactics

== Boss Attacks ==
=== Normal Phase ===
* Places a staff on the floor. This staff will emit a 7-tiles-long laser beam that rotates and deals 3 damage.
* Shoots three big spheres that flies in a helix pattern, each sphere deals 3 damage, and creates a small AoE that deals 1 damage upon impact.
* Spawns a turret that shoots bullets in 4 directions. The bullets travel in a zigzag pattern, deals 2 damage each. The turret can be destroyed by melee attacks, or disappear after 5 seconds.
** The turret's bullets cannot be deflected with the Reflect Buff but can still be destroyed like most projectiles. 
* Knocks the staff on the ground, summons a ruined obelisk and a headstone.
** The ruined obelisk will fall from the sky, deals 3 damage upon impact with the ground. It creates a small blue pool. It deals 1 damage every second and inflicts the Weary status effect. The place of the obelisk is marked by a small Fire pool that will disappear after the obelisk touches the ground. The obelisk has 32 health, and will disappear after 8 seconds.
*** The damage and status effect from the blue pool can be neutralized with the Poison Buff
** The headstone will summon a Mummy enemy every 2 seconds. It can be either a bomb, a staff or an SMG Mummy. The Mummies have 20 health each. The headstone has 32 health, and will disappear after 8 seconds.
*** The Staff Mummies can heal other mummies, headstones, obelisks and the boss.
=== Enraged Phase ===
* The laser beam emitted from the staffs are 10 tiles long instead of 7.
* Shoots 9 helix-pattern spheres instead of 3, each sphere deals 4 damage.
== Strategies ==
* The best way to fight Anubis is to find a fast-firing, highly efficient weapon such as Gatling Gun or Illusion, and annihilating him before his enraged phase summons too many minions and the bullets overwhelm the player.
* The player can use a melee weapon to neutralize his bullet storms, like Zulan The Colossus; if the player doesn't, the fight will become significantly more difficult. Anubis is capable of flooding the entire screen with munitions easily on top of swarming the mummies and headstones.
* Target the headstone before continuing to attack the boss, because Anubis can stack headstones, quickly making an army of Mummies and eventually killing the player. The player will need an AoE weapon, such as the Explosive Warhammer, to blow up everything in a matter of seconds as well as heavily damaging the boss. One can also use a continuous laser such as Illusion – with the Energy Orb Buff it can compensate the cost.
* The ruined obelisk should not be prioritized as its pool can easily be avoided and disappears shortly after being summoned.
* If playing as Paladin, then it's not hard to kill it if one also has a weapon that eats up energy fast – use the Gatling Gun and wipe him out with the player's own bullet storm while his turrets refill their energy when they are shielded.
* It is highly recommended to bring weapons with high DPS for Anubis can summon plenty of healing mummies to the point when it's impossible to kill both the mummies and Anubis himself.

== Trivia ==
* Before Update 2.3.5, the obelisks and the headstones have unlimited lifetime. They also had 40 health each.
