Have you ever fought a boss and he/she cheats and one of the following 2 things happen: You die before you cast a spell that could've killed the boss, or the boss doesn't die, but could've died if he/she didn't cheat. Well, let me give you some names of annoying bosses and tips to avoid being killed in a duel between you and a cheating boss:
Jabberwock: Avalon Fire Boss, does 1700-2500 Meteor Strike Ptolemos: Celestia Star Boss, shields himself with a -90 Tower Shield Belloq: Zafaria Balance Boss, does 1200-1700 Ra (I forgot his name.): Marleybone Life Boss, does 500-700 Rebirth to himself and minion
And the tips:
1. Shield yourself as much as you can until you get enough pips to attack. 2. If you have resistance, use only 3 shields on yourself, then trap and blade until you attack. 3. Trap and blade, then heal under any low-health circumstances. 4. Buy or train Death health draining spells to damage and heal, and use in the duel. 5. Try increase all your attack and defense stats to take as much low damage as possible.

While this is good generic advise, it doesn't work in the case of Belloq - you MUST cast a spell each round or he casts Ra. If you take the time to heal/shield, etc., you die. It's as simple as that. I beat him easily when I loaded my deck with 1 pip spells and 2 pip DoT spells.
The idea of the cheating bosses is to get you to do adapt and change your playing style to each boss.

I actually remember (I had a different account) that I had a lvl 72.. I believe fire wizard. The ONE thing I disliked about Wizard101 was the elephant guy in zafaria, where if you don't attack him every single round, he shoots up a Ra and basically wrecks your whole team!

Jabberwock: Time your attacks to hit every other time he places the trap on himself. He removes on even rounds so attack on 7, 13, 19... Ptolemos: Steal or Pierce his shield. Belloq: Use Fire-Elf TC to keep Ra away, as long as he takes damage every round he won't Ra.
As for most annoying, I hate Tymen WhiteFlame when soloing. The 2 rounds stun when healing plus the Mana Burn every 3 rounds make it near impossible to solo without minions or henchmen to take the Mana Burns.

Yes, but he is still one of the cheating bosses, right? No matter what the purpose of attack, no attack, defense, no defense, blade, no blade, any boss who does something right before/after that and doesn't use up any pips is a cheating boss.
Re: Annoying Bosses (A companion to Annoying Spells)
Another boss with the 90 shield is astraeus. I don't think you mistaked the one you said for astraeus but astraeus has it too. Plus astraeus always adds more people to the fight.

Yes, he is a cheating boss. RavenLady never said otherwise. She just said that your advice is bad to use against him, as you'll get a super-Ra in the face if you start shielding instead of attacking.

Alright, I'll change Belloq to another boss, since he does a cheat after a wizard passes the round...only I don't know any other bosses who cheat. Anybody got ideas?

There are tons of bosses that cheat. Ervin the Barbarian & Taurus the Clever, Lyon Lorestriker, Young Morganthe, Luska Charmbeak, Sylster Glowstorm, the list goes on.

Does Loremaster count? Her Font of Strength does give her a +50% Balance Blade. So is it the font that cheats, or Loremaster, looking at the list, not at the battle.

I'd say it's the Font, but others might think otherwise.

Since the Font assists Loremaster, then if you look at the list and at its very details, it would be: "Font", while just taking a first glance, it would be "Loremaster", if I am correct from these 2 perspectives.

It's funny, because on the wiki, the cheat is listed on both the Loremaster and the Font of Strength pages, implying that it's the Font that cheats, but it still feels like it's a cheat of Loremaster's.

So, it's practically both, if listed with finality, then?
