Daily Guild Boss Rotation and Strategy Guide 2026
The Archero 2 Daily Guild Boss rotation with one high-scoring field strategy for every boss, including positioning, attack tells, movement routes, damage windows, and detach or manual execution.
By the CAPPED Editorial Team · How we review guides
Quick answer
The UTC rotation is fixed: Monday Tomb Keeper, Tuesday Flame Dragon, Wednesday Flame Demon, Thursday Medusa, Friday Stone Golem, Saturday Cyclops Mage, and Sunday Scythe Mage. Whirlwind Monster is Medusa's former name, not a separate boss. The boss-day resets at 00:00 UTC.
Daily Guild Boss calendar
Open today's boss for its positioning, attack tells, movement route, and scoring plan.
Daily reset: 00:00 UTC — 7:00 PM CDT or 6:00 PM CST in Chicago on the previous local eveningOpen the strategy for today's boss
Tomb Keeper
Fast and slow Meteor/projectile splits can arrive in uneven sequences and collapse one side of the arena.
Detach: RequiredTuesday UTCFlame Dragon
Frontal fire and charges punish standing in front; summoned pressure can make the arena progressively harder.
Detach: Strongly recommendedWednesday UTCFlame Demon
Random teleports, explosive fire bursts, charges, jumps, and Meteors make stationary attacks unsafe; progression hits can be lethal.
Detach: RequiredThursday UTCMedusa
Formerly Whirlwind MonsterWide projectile lanes and periodic side pressure punish vertical wandering; the old Whirlwind Monster name refers to this same boss.
Detach: Strongly recommendedFriday UTCStone Golem
Multiple boulder patterns and wall behavior punish reversals; this boss uniquely rewards controlled circular or stutter-step movement.
Detach: RequiredSaturday UTCCyclops Mage
Teleporting projectile patterns create long idle windows unless you know when to back out and re-enter short range.
Detach: HelpfulSunday UTCScythe Mage
Overlapping scythe sequences leave very small gaps unless positioning causes one or more projectiles to disappear before reaching you.
Detach: Strongly recommendedBefore the attempt
- Confirm the UTC boss-day; the new boss appears at 00:00 UTC, which is the previous evening in Chicago.
- Load the individual boss page instead of a generic chapter preset.
- Confirm detach, hero, skin, all six gear slots, rune grades, and Rune Enchantments.
- Treat movement, Size Down, or survival as damage upgrades when they preserve the attempt.
Detach is an uptime system
Detach allows the weapon to continue attacking while the character follows a boss-specific movement route. It does not provide invulnerability, and it does not make every boss use the same build.
- Required: Tomb Keeper, Flame Demon, and Stone Golem at high progression.
- Strongly recommended: Flame Dragon, Medusa, and Scythe Mage.
- Helpful but not mandatory: Cyclops Mage, which has long manual attack windows.
What to record
| Field | Why |
|---|---|
| Boss and date | Keeps unlike targets out of the same comparison |
| Damage and rank | Measures output and the surrounding field |
| Attempts | Separates lucky rolls from repeatability |
| Build snapshot | Preserves hero, skins, gear, runes, artifacts, and talents |
