Chimera Boss is completely unbalanced

[Sgt. Skizo The Homeless]

The Chimera boss fight is simply unbalanced. I don't even think that it's health, shield and armor are too much. It's simply the strenght of it's attacks doubled by the fact that he attacks twice that makes it unbalanced. You should consider lowering the dmg ratios on it's attacks at least. It simply doesn't make sense for him to be the hardest boss fight of the game when he's on the second planet...

It's not as bad as the moon one when it comes to oddly specific requirements but a pretty draining fight for sure if you don't have a way to just outstall it or burst it down real hard.

The chimera fight is basically a race and you have to play very offensive before he rushes your team down. I do agree his attack twice per turn is annoying, but compared to the other behemoths he's very fragile

Or just use Aegis and win the battle of attrition.

[Sirion]

Honestly? It feels kinda weird that a game which enourages diversity in the party composition also involves a(kinda) mandatory boss which narrows down your options so much.

[Karundo]

I went with a different composition on every run on extreme, most times without Aegis. I don't think Chimera ever wiped my team, so It's definitely doable. Unless you're talking about Entropy difficulties, those I haven't tried yet.

[Israly]

it might get a little restrictive on entropy v or iv, but before that, you can mostly use any party composition to get past chimera.

Chimera is pretty doable if you have a fast stagger character like Saboteur or Commando. When the stagger gets diminished too much, you have to dedicate a turn to blocking, and try to mitigate when Chimera goes for the single target that pierces shields.

Bosses get much easier the more you play, and so long as you have a character with even moderately good DPS, you can down Chimera before it becomes to much of an issue. Easily the most straightforward of the behemoths. No counter gimmick, no reflecting damage. Just a DPS race.

The fact he(or she) can just randomly stun a character at will is what throws people off and makes the fight RNG. Oh no, she stunned your tank/blocker, oh No she stunned your Stagger person. And it's not like the attack is weak, it's a noticeable hit vs squishier targets.

The other two Behemoths in base game have openings, or can even be stunned. They feel designed to be played against and timing assaults. Where as Chimera is a straight up damage race that you CAN lose if the RNG turns against you and the answer is "YOLO FITE ME".

It might be more straight forward but it also sticks out as a weird play style compared to the other bosses.

For me the most boring fight is the 3rd world boss. Block every 3 rounds and attack inbetween. Rinse and repeat untill dead.

Gimmick there is playing around his Elemental damage and making sure you aren't all in on one or two element types.

Chimara is "Please don't instant stun my tank or stunner"

Just follow what cyclonegale said. Chimera isn't as bad as you make it out to be. If you're having that much trouble maybe you're not staggering right.

To think I'm about to try Chimera with a reflect team. Its HP leech will get me before I win the fight. I might just try the harder planet instead.

Ye, 3rd planet boss is a let down, and imagine that guy is after 2nd planet which is either this cheating 2 turns guy or cheating "simps protect me" gals.
