The Skip-Level

What is The Skip-Level?

The Skip-Level is a calendar boss with a base health of 1050 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.

"What's your ask?"

A quiz under fire while it charges you. Then it finds fifteen minutes next quarter, which heals it, and gives you visibility, which is two Stakeholders.

What does it do in each phase?

The Skip-Level 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?

The Skip-Level 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.
