Knockaway
Shoot

Tactics
- Willey casts Rain of Fire (AoE fire) — don't stand in it, spread the group so it doesn't hit everyone at once.
- Knockaway knocks back and stuns the target; Shoot hits ranged. The tank holds the boss in place; melee should be ready to return after the knockback.
- Keep the healer out of the fire pools; on x5 the fight is fast — just don't stack up.
Notable loot
| Item | Type |
|---|---|
| Postmaster's Band | Ring (Postmaster set piece) |
| Willey's Portable Howitzer | Gun |
| Cannon Master's Fuse | Wand/consumable |
x5 tips
- The Postmaster's set is collected from Live-side bosses (Willey, Galford, etc.) — a notable early caster set.
- Assign spread positions in advance so Rain of Fire doesn't cover the whole group.
