Prince Porky | Bosses Angry Birds Epic Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Prince Porky is the first boss you will encounter in the game. He doesn't have any special attack, which you must learn how to counter before you even want to think about defeating him. You can tell that he's just a bigger, stronger version of a regular pig - he hits harder, he has a lot of hit points, as well as a nasty passive ability.

The ability is called Dodge, and it allows Prince Porky to avoid damage above a certain threshold (the amount changes with every boss encounter). It means, that a hit can only deal as much damage, as the threshold allows - if it exceeds it, any damage above it is ignored. It means, that using a Rage Chilli on birds inflicting huge damage with it (like Red or Blues) is simply useless.

Apart from the annoying dodge, the boss has a triple attack pattern (Vicious Backstab) - the boss performs a series of 3 quick attacks, inflicting a set amount of damage (again, the amount of damage done varies in between different encounters with the boss).

Starting from your 3rd encounter with the Prince, he will be able to use a new ability called Tit for Tat, which increases his damage dealt and taken by 25% for 3 turns. With the eight boss encounter, he will be able to use another ability : Holy Hand Grenade. This grenade allows him to inflict enormous damage onto every enemy.

To defeat him, it's good to:

• Use the lighting shield of Chuck (more can be found in the class description section) - each boss attack will hurt him free times after attack a target protected by the shield.
• Use Red whenever fighting him (especially with the Avenger or Knight class) - the boss hits rather hard, so keeping his attention onto your most resilient bird will ease your job. If you won't get him attention on anyone, the boss is able to kill of the weaker birds in just one turn.
• During your encounters with the boss, he will be summoning a lot of reinforcements to his aid - it's a good idea to get rid of them first, especially if they are mages.

A recommended team would be : Red (with the Avenger / Knight class), Chuck (Mage) and Matilda (with the Bard class, to stun the enemy from time to time, or with the Princess, to heal Red easily)
