If the Pounder is never allowed to shoot, the fight can be completed with a decent level of ease. The biggest threat of the fight is the Pounder shooting.

The second, 'MISFIRE!', does nothing but gives the party a sizable stress heal.Īs stated below, the likelihood of the Pounder scoring its devastating attack will increase for veteran and champion dungeons. The first is 'BOOOOOOOM!', a ranged attack that hits the entire party for catastrophic damage and inflicts heavy stress. If the Matchman is allowed to act, the Pounder will use one of two attacks. On higher difficulties, the Brigand Fusiliers summoned by the Pounder have Stealth for 2 rounds.
