I find Chimera to be an amazing boss, but one thing I hate about it is how it doesn’t encourage much champion variety. Some new good debuffs for it, active skills and fear are both covered by Lydia, Gnut is still the most accessible damage dealer and Mikage is SSS tier just like everywhere else in the game. Trials really help with this, but I’d really prefer if they encouraged more variety.
I think you will see more diversity the longer the boss is out. As people try to target higher trial numbers, you will see other champions emerge I bet
@@bencaperton8636Especially since they multiply your clash points by the trials. Stops you from just spamming the same champs for max damage for the most part.
I don't mean this to sound hostile or whatever but Chimera encourages far more champ variety than any other boss, especially Hydra, particularly with Trials being a thing but just in how the boss is overall; my clan hasn't killed Normal yet so it'll be Easy and Normal for me for a while, but I'm way over the damage requirements, 23ish and 21ish mil respectively, and because I'm so far above the damage requirements I'll be focusing on getting trials done because I don't need to bring my best champs such as Staltus to just do damage, or I could drop a few others because Staltus is able to do so much of the damage, either way. Hydra needs a provoker, AoE if you want to auto the fight - Chimera can't be provoked, that alone makes it far more accessible, and opens up a slot that would be taken up by provokers; following that is also a Mischief tank which isn't relevant to Chimera, so that's two roles that are either required or highly desired for Hydra not needed for Chimera. Hydra being 4 heads at a time makes single target champs less desirable, some not usable at all such as Fayne unless you bring a way to spread debuffs, when you could just bring an AoE damage dealer in the first place - as with Demon Lord it's obviously not relevant whether the champ is AoE or not, which makes far more champs viable or even usable. With Demon Lord, especially early on, we want a lot of poison damage - we typically want to avoid poison damage on Chimera because of Viper's passive, so that opens up more types of damage dealers. The most important debuff for Chimera is reduced speed which is irrelevant on the majority of bosses, and there are quite a lot of them so there's more variety again. That's just thinking of the 3 Clan Bosses, but how restrictive are the bosses in Doom Tower? some of them need incredibly niche teams, occasionally specific champs.
finally hit my brutal 1 key, i was struggling with an unbooked lydia and tried swapping for other dec def/weaken champs and finally got it to work with ruella for 48m 3trials team is geo lead, padraig, duchess, taras, ruella (will be othorion but bad affinity) just hoping for a demonspawn ring so duchy can get into 9 piece for extra damage
From my 2 runs in chimera, it seems like Demytha is an MVP. She was healing my team and removing debuffs, plus block damage for the ram form. I would say Fenax would do well in this fight based on affinity.
No, the Reflect Damage effect isn't tied to health being hit, his passive will add value to the shield though, essentially making them 15% stronger - Block Damage stops it, or it reflects nothing because no damage is taken.
Why am I not surprised by Geo and Stag Knight - thankfully I have and often use both of them, same with Skathix although I don't use him anywhere outside of FW and SR's he's usable in, such as Void, Support or Epic only, or a variation of these restrictions, but still, usual suspects, lol
ever pulled during 1 of the 30+ events he was in? hes in prism pools constantly aswell. id guess u only dont have one because u prioritize pulling for fomo or other planned events instead of targeting during HIS event
Yal keep doing these they are going to buff this boss so he is far more powerful starting off than he gradual increase in power they set him up with now
please also note that it doesn't work on high difficulties (nightmare and ultra-nightmare) and doesn't even break chimera just like those days of hydra where a rare champ (Corpulent Cadaver) breaks every legendary champs damage output.
This is the kind of content that NUBS used to do. Something more relatable to the community (less all the awakenings), and I for one, LOVE IT..!

They hit a balance where a lot of f2p obtainable champs cover most the trial requirements. It's a challenge beyond stats/immunities

Taking a reviver is probably the only mandatory role I can think of, really.
5:28 Note, the A3 repeat attack will not always attack the duel target.
finally hit my brutal 1 key, i was struggling with an unbooked lydia and tried swapping for other dec def/weaken champs and finally got it to work with ruella for 48m 3trials
team is geo lead, padraig, duchess, taras, ruella (will be othorion but bad affinity)
just hoping for a demonspawn ring so duchy can get into 9 piece for extra damage
Cool I can build this exact team.
Tagore is legitimately amazing. Great champ. Ash always went on about him so I 6 Starred him. Totally worth it.

Same build for GEO what you use in iron twin. I will mention Anax.
does shield on the team reduce geomancer's value? does it reduce the reflected damage?
No, the Reflect Damage effect isn't tied to health being hit, his passive will add value to the shield though, essentially making them 15% stronger - Block Damage stops it, or it reflects nothing because no damage is taken.
@MGShadow1989 thanks mate

you forgot the best epic for this boss which is Ruella decrease DEF SPD and weaken
And rugnor, def def, weaken and leech!
She's also Spirit affinity so particularly strong this rotation, although maybe not next rotation depending which order the affinities change.
Does debuff from artifact sets (e.g poison) contribute on trials ?
It usually says damage from skills I believe, so no artifacts, warmaster or debuffs
rip morag btw you will be remembered on 22:04😭😭😭
Where did irl Fenax go please give back irl Fenax
So i got 2 and missing 3 still cant believe im lvl 100 and still dont have geo
Skathix replacement?
3 years still no geo 😢😅
ever pulled during 1 of the 30+ events he was in? hes in prism pools constantly aswell. id guess u only dont have one because u prioritize pulling for fomo or other planned events instead of targeting during HIS event
@hotudk no luck not on my side
@@hotudkwow that was unnecessarily aggressive you ok?
@@hotudk RNG means every account will struggle to pull some champions, this account just doesn't pull geo
I just pulled my first last weekend.
Been playing since 2020
Wish you luck on yours
Yal keep doing these they are going to buff this boss so he is far more powerful starting off than he gradual increase in power they set him up with now
Have you seen the milestones? Unless you are endgame you arent reaching there, and not even close. Plus, there isnt a single champ breaking the game
please also note that it doesn't work on high difficulties (nightmare and ultra-nightmare) and doesn't even break chimera just like those days of hydra where a rare champ (Corpulent Cadaver) breaks every legendary champs damage output.
