Best moment to fight lair boss

[senua]

Is it too crazy to try to kill the lair boss in the first region? Or is it highly recommended to fight them later?

Success killing lair bosses is highly dependent on your team composition and combat items.

For example, if you have a team that can reliable hit the last rank twice a turn, even if shuffled (including hits from combat items) then the boss in the Tangle should be doable in the first region. If you have a team (and/or combat items) that can consistently resist fire damage while hitting a single target hard, then the boss in the Sprawl should be relatively easy. Etc.

Keep in mind the rewards from the bosses too. Some of those rewards may be much better for certain teams, so you may want to risk fighting an early boss to get those rewards.

But of course, the more you wait, the better your chances when considered in a vacuum, because you may have more skills mastered and (hopefully) more skills affected by positive relationships.

You can do 3 lairs per run without much problems and with infernal flames. You can even do all lairs per run on a fresh account but knowledge and preparation are key. As pitiflauticus said, the rewards are a huge boost to any consecutive region and lairs.
