What to study
The boss variant of the arena HUD adds exactly one element and changes one colour: a wide boss HP bar with a fox icon appears across the top, and the arena border turns orange. Everything else — the card hand, the team portraits, the health bars — is the standard arena layout, so the player meets a boss fight with a screen they already know. Frame at about 157s in the Final Closed Beta Gameplay Showcase (YouTube). Pre-release footage; the Final Closed Beta begins November 25, 2026 and the game launches spring 2027. A Work in Progress / Subject to Change watermark is visible in the frame.
