Succession Planning

What is Succession Planning?

Succession Planning is a calendar boss with a base health of 1100 and 3 phases. It appears on The Ivory Tower. If it is still standing at the next booking, it leaves without paying out. Its health grows with the clock, the floor and your difficulty.

"The founder's office will continue to advise."

The heirs are all the same mummy; the interim arrangement is in its ninth year; the founder has stepped back into the office next door.

What does it do in each phase?

Succession Planning changes phase as its health falls, using each phase's moves in turn. The telegraphed attacks mark the ground first, so watch the markings and step out rather than trying to outrun everything. Moves come faster in later phases. It also books itself nearer if you run too far away.

Where and when does it appear?

Succession Planning is booked 1 time across the building. The table gives each floor and the time on the clock. Floors open one at a time, for one department, by winning the one before. Boss health is multiplied by the time it arrives, so a late booking is a tougher fight than the same boss early on.
