Boss Mechanics

Critical Mechanic

Boss spawns IMMUNE to Slow and Stun.

You must first break the boss's armor (or trigger a state change) before crowd control effects work. This is why Kenpachi is essential - his armor penetration helps break this immunity.

1

Pre-Boss

Economy build-up and positioning

Place Speed Cart immediately. Start building DPS. Position Virtual Idol to cover all units.

⚠️ Don't overcommit resources early⚠️ Save money for mid-game scaling
2

Boss Spawn

Break armor before using CC

Boss spawns immune to Slow and Stun. Must break armor/trigger state change before CC works.

⚠️ Kenpachi armor break is essential⚠️ Don't waste CC on immune boss
3

DPS Phase

Full burst with debuffs

Once boss is vulnerable: Kenpachi Vulnerability (+15%) + Virtual Idol buffs. Unload all damage.

⚠️ Admiral support helps here⚠️ Keep economy unit alive

Solo vs Multiplayer

FactorSoloDuo+Impact
Boss HP Scaling~150 HP~200 HPMore players = tankier boss
Kill CreditAll kills are yoursKills may be stolenSun Jin Wu needs kills for mana - bad in MP
CoordinationFull controlNeed good teamworkRandom teammates can sabotage

Recommendation: Solo may be easier if you have strong units. Sun Jin Wu specifically performs worse in multiplayer due to kill credit mechanics (he needs kills for mana).

Minimum Requirements

  • Level 70+ Units

    Your carry and key supports should be max level

  • Mythic Relics

    5-substat relics with relevant stats (Cooldown, Damage, etc.)

  • Good Traits

    At minimum: Fortunate on Speed Cart, Duelist on Kyito or damage trait on carry

  • Armor Break Unit

    Kenpachi strongly recommended for boss phase

Ragna Farming Reality Check

The Math

  • Drop rate: 2% per clear
  • Pity: Guaranteed at 75 clears
  • Full E6 Ragna: Needs 7 copies
  • Worst case: 75 × 7 = 525 clears
  • Cannot AFK: Each run requires active play

Verdict: Farm for rerolls and the occasional Ragna drop. Don't expect to E6 Ragna without extreme dedication. Many players consider this grind unreasonable.
