Druid – Boss in Monkey Wave

How it works

  • Summons Vines under your fruit. The interval starts at 7 s and drops to a minimum of 2.5 s as the score rises.
  • Number of Vines per cast: score ÷ 100 (rounded, at least 1) in Survival, or half the Versus stock tier.
  • Every Vine drains its fruit and heals the Druid by 2 HP (10% of its base HP) every 2 seconds.

HP scaling

HP starts at the base value and grows by 10% (rounded) for every boss level. Boss level = score ÷ 50 in Survival/Boss Rush, or the Versus stock tier + 1. When you play Survival or Boss Rush together with a friend (co-op), boss HP is doubled.

The table shows boss levels 0–10. Boss Rush starts at boss level 0; in Survival the first boss (at 50 points) has boss level 1. In Versus the boss level is the stock tier + 1 and HP is not doubled. Fury always starts at 5 HP or less left.

Fury

  • Enters Fury once it has 5 HP or less left (one third of its base HP; this threshold does not grow with the boss level): 1.5× movement speed and a red fury look.
  • In Fury the Druid teleports to a random spot 3 times, and all monkeys become furious.

Summoned units: Vine

  • Grows out of the ground underneath a fruit and holds it.
  • Every 2 seconds it drains the fruit (healthy -> damaged -> destroyed) and heals the Druid by 2 HP (10% of its base HP).
  • Needs 2 taps.
  • Its skin always matches the Druid skin you select (e.g. Rose Druid → Rose Vine).
  • HP (taps): 2

Strategy & tips

  • Tap every Vine right away: each Vine drains a fruit and heals the Druid by 2 HP (10% of its base HP) every 2 seconds.
  • In Fury the Druid teleports 3 times. Wait until it stops before you tap.
  • Overgrowth heals damaged fruit, which counters the Vines' drain.
