Fight plan

Torch Head Amalgam's documented pattern is predictable. Track the two 18-damage Tackles, the three-hit Beam, then the two smaller Tackles so you know when to defend and when to race.

Preparation notes

Use the move table as a damage threshold, not a script that replaces reading the fight. Ascension, multiplayer scaling, powers, and patch changes can alter the exact line. For boss-specific planning, continue to the boss guide hub.

Torch Head Amalgam turn plan

The sequence opens with two 18-damage attacks, follows with Beam for 8 damage three times, then uses two 14-damage Tackles before repeating. At high Ascension, the Tackle values rise to 19 and 15 while the listed Beam remains 8 x3.

Because the loop is documented, you can assign draw, block, and potion resources before each hit instead of reacting after the hand appears.

Preparation checklist

Multi-hit defense is especially valuable on Beam, while a single large block card can cover a Tackle efficiently. Keep enough damage to finish before repeated cycles exhaust your defensive resources.

Turns 1-2: prepare for 18 damage each, or 19 at high Ascension.
Turn 3: prepare for Beam at 8 x3.
Turns 4-5: prepare for 14 damage each, or 15 at high Ascension.
