💀 Clan Bosses

There are three distinct Clan Bosses. Each has different keys, mechanics, and reward pools. This guide covers all three.

Demon Lord (Classic Clan Boss)

Keys & Basics

• One key regenerates every 6 hours (up to 4/day); top up with gems. Keys are shared across all difficulties.
• You choose which difficulty to fight — higher difficulty = more chests, better rewards.
• 5 champions per team. The boss hits all 5 simultaneously with most of its attacks.
• The Demon Lord starts each fight in Void affinity, then changes affinity once it drops below 50% HP (Force / Magic / Spirit, set by the day’s rotation).
• Turn 50 is the enrage wall. From turn 50 on, the boss ignores [Unkillable] and [Block Damage] and applies [Block Revive] on kills — so every survival strategy has the same hard ceiling. A “key” ends when your team wipes (or hits the enrage); damage carries over between keys until the daily reset.

Boss HP & the “1-Key” Thresholds

A 1-key clear means reaching the top chest in a single key — and the top chest is 6% of the boss’s total HP, not the whole HP bar. You never deplete the full pool solo; you just cross the top-chest line before your team dies or the turn-50 enrage lands.

Stat Requirements by Difficulty

Must-Have Debuffs (Priority Order)

Core Compositions

The fight splits into a survival engine (keep the team alive to turn ~50) and a damage engine (stack poisons + amplifiers). Pick one survival engine; build the rest as damage.

Standard (mid-game) — Lifesteal + Poisons: Speed lead → Decrease ATK (100% uptime) → 2× poisoners → support/healer. Gear everyone in Lifesteal for self-sustain. This is your baseline 1–2-key on Nightmare until you can speed-tune.

Unkillable, budget (2-key UNM) — Maneater + Pain Keeper: Maneater’s A3 puts [Unkillable] on the whole team for 2 turns (7-turn cooldown); Pain Keeper’s A3 shaves a turn off everyone’s cooldowns so Maneater’s button is back before the next boss AoE. Reliable and cheap — but it’s a documented 2-key UNM team: two slots go to the engine, which caps damage.

Unkillable, 1-key — Demytha loop or double Maneater:

• Demytha (best for most rosters) self-loops [Block Damage]: her A3 blocks damage for 1 turn, and her A2 extends all ally buffs by 1 turn so the block stays up every cycle. She’s a one-champion engine with the highest damage ceiling (top teams hit 80–100M), freeing three slots for DPS — but her tune is razor-tight (Demytha ~270+ SPD; use the DeadwoodJedi calculator).
• Double Maneater alternates two A3s to cover the Unkillable gap with no cooldown-reducer — the easiest 1-key tune, but you must build a second Maneater.

Counter Attack (mid-endgame) — Skullcrusher / Valkyrie: A Counter Attack champion makes the whole team hit on every boss attack — extra debuff applications and damage. Easier to build than unkillable and pairs well with poisoners.

The Damage Core (what actually gets you to 70M)

• Poisons — stack toward 10 (2.5% / 5% versions). Your poisoners are the backbone.
• Poison Sensitivity — +25% to every poison tick, a multiplier on the whole stack. Ezio, Frozen Banshee, Septimus and Aine are the common sources; if you own one they’re near-mandatory.
• HP Burn — one slot, a big MAX-HP-scaling tick (Geomancer, Fahrakin, Drexthar).
• Amplifiers, pinned all fight: 60% Decrease DEF + 25% Weaken + Decrease ATK.
• Masteries: T6 Warmaster on single-hit attackers, Giant Slayer on multi-hitters, plus Master Hexer to hold poison/debuff uptime.

Speed Tuning

Unkillable teams run a fixed cycle so every champion acts in the right order before each boss attack — one point of SPD out of place drops the buff and wipes the run. Build the tuned engine/debuffers on Speed sets: Relentless extra turns are random and do not reduce cooldowns, so they break a tune rather than help it. The DeadwoodJedi speed calculator is the standard tool — tuning matters far more at NM/UNM than at Brutal.

Hydra Clan Boss

Keys & Basics

• 3 keys per week, resets every Thursday
• 6 champions per key — 18 unique champions needed across all 3 keys (each champion can only be used once per week)
• Duplicates are allowed within a single key but not across keys
• 4 heads active at once; when one is defeated another rises from the bench (2 waiting)
• Head composition rotates monthly — same 4 heads for an entire month before changing
• Clan must defeat a difficulty tier to permanently unlock the next one

Head Types & Counters

Decapitation Strategy

Killing a head removes it for 2 turns and grants a 200% damage bonus window. However, it also removes all debuffs from all remaining heads — resetting your Poison stacks, HP Burn, Weaken, everything.

• Kill heads one at a time during high-damage windows
• Reapply debuffs immediately after decapitation
• Head of Decay should be prioritised for early decapitation (eliminates the heal penalty for the rest of the fight)

Must-Have Composition Elements

• HP Burn — mandatory when Head of Blight is active (removes Poison Cloud)
• Hex — mandatory when Head of Mischief is active
• Revive / Resurrect — champions get devoured; someone needs to pull them back
• AoE debuff application — multi-head encounters mean single-target debuffers fall short
• Decrease ATK — same as Classic CB, mandatory for survival
• Weaken — applies to all heads, huge damage multiplier

Key Rule: 18 Unique Champions

Build three teams of 6 with no overlaps. This forces you to use your bench. Design your teams by:

1. Team 1 — your strongest setup with highest Hydra-specific synergy
2. Team 2 — second-tier champions covering the same key debuffs
3. Team 3 — whatever remains; focus on at least keeping Decrease ATK covered

Unique drops: Righteous, Tate, and Chill gear sets drop here and nowhere else.

Chimera Clan Boss

Basics

• Requires Account Level 33 and clan membership
• 5 champions per fight
• The fight is exactly 65 turns — it doesn’t end when you kill the boss (you can’t). Damage dealt in 65 turns determines chest tier.
• Weekly keys (quantity depends on your clan’s Chimera progression)
• Unique reward: Embrys the Anomaly champion fragments from high-damage chests

The Four Forms

The Chimera cycles through all four forms in a predictable rotation. Forms are not random.

Stat Requirements (Nightmare example)

Accuracy requirements vary by form within the same fight:

The Trials System

Each of the three active forms (Ram, Lion, Viper) has 9 trials (3 tiers × 3 objectives), for 27 total.

Completing trials earns Clash Points and bonus rewards. More importantly: completing 25–27 trials empowers the Ultimate Form (it gains 15% ATK, 15% CritDmg, and 100% ignore DEF). Avoid this if your team can’t handle an empowered Ultimate.

Trials require specific skill types to be active during the fight:

Fahrakin the Fat — Trial Enabler

Fahrakin is one of the single best Chimera trial enablers because his kit alone covers multiple trial requirements:

• A2 (Brand of Shame): Places HP Burn + 2× Poison in a single skill use → satisfies HP Burn trials AND Poison trials simultaneously
• A3 (Warband): Full-team Ally Attack with Increase Crit Rate + Increase Crit Damage → satisfies Ally Attack trials (Lion Form Trial #2 line is trivially completed with an Ally Attack champion)
• A1: Decrease Defence → satisfies Decrease DEF trials

A team built around Fahrakin can reach 18+ trials per fight. Pair him with a second Ally Attack champion (Lady Mikage, Rotos) and a reviver for maximum trial completion.

Other Top Chimera Champions

Chest Rewards

Higher damage = better chest tier. On Ultra-Nightmare:

• Ultimate Chest requires 112.5M+ damage
• Rewards: up to 8 items including Mythical Gemstones and Embrys the Anomaly fragments
• Chimera is the only source of Mythical relic crafting materials — your Chimera performance directly gates how fast you access Mythical relics
