Event Overview

The Apple Cake boss appeared exclusively during April Fools 2026. Players who defeated it earned the Apple Cake badge, proving themselves worthy of the flaming blue apple cake. While the event has ended, this guide preserves the strategy for reference.

Boss Attack Patterns

The Apple Cake boss uses several attack patterns that require specific dodge timing. Watch for the windup animation before ground slam attacks — roll or Dash sideways to avoid damage. Ranged projectile attacks require constant movement rather than blocking.

Recommended Abilities

Dash is essential for dodging ground slams and closing distance during attack windows. Revolver provides stun opportunities during the boss's recovery frames. Block can negate certain melee attacks but not area-of-effect ground slams.

Phase Strategy

Phase 1 features standard attack patterns with clear telegraphs. Phase 2 increases attack speed and adds area denial zones on the ground. Avoid standing in fire patches and maintain constant movement throughout Phase 2.

Team Coordination

Multiple Civilians can attack the boss simultaneously. Coordinate stun chains with Revolver and Block users while Dash players handle dodge duty. Caretaker keeps the team alive during extended fights.

Badge Reward

Defeating the Apple Cake boss awarded the unobtainable Apple Cake badge. The badge description reads: "Congratulations, you have proven yourself to be worthy of the flaming blue apple cake."
