Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weaknesses: Fire, Ice
• Resistances: None significant
• Vulnerabilities: Stuns, Interrupts

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Initial Assault
   The Great Sabrecat starts with aggressive melee attacks and pounces. Dodge its charges and look for opportunities to counter after its combos.
2. Phase 2: Roaring Fury
   The Sabrecat will begin to use its powerful roar, which can stun players. Use this time to heal or reposition. It also gains a sweeping claw attack.

   At lower health, the Great Sabrecat becomes more erratic, using faster attacks and a wider range of abilities. Maintain focus and prioritize dodging.

Strategy:

• Utilize fire and ice-based attacks to exploit its weaknesses. Characters like Maya or spells that deal these elements are highly effective.
• When the Sabrecat prepares its roar, be ready to dodge or block to avoid being stunned.
• Characters with interrupt abilities can be useful for staggering the boss during its more powerful attacks.
• Keep your party members healed and manage your Tension skills for maximum damage output during openings.
• Be patient and don't get greedy with attacks; focus on survival and counter-attacking.
