which enemies count as bosses

[aws]

ive been killing a bunch of high value targets while finest matterweave is active and havent gotten anything yet, so yeah which enemies count as a boss

[Nakos]

The last opponent in a Strike (or a Battle Ground) counts as a boss.

The major opponents in the big multi-stage public event on Neomuna should also count. Basically anything with a big multi-stage life bar that shows up on your screen rather than over the mob's head.

If you're doing a Legendary Lost Sector the final enemy there should also count I believe.

A 'boss' has a diamond-shaped icon on its health bar, which distinguishes it from a 'major' enemy (like Champions) which have a triangle. The game treats them differently, in terms of things like; boss/major spec weapon mods, how stasis affects them, and that you can use 'finisher' moves on Majors but not on Bosses.

Ignore bits of obsolete stuff either side, but this pic shows the icons - https://i.imgur.com/QksCeQ4.png
