🕹️ Understanding the Clan Boss Fight Mechanics

Overview

The Clan Boss fight lasts 2 minutes (120 seconds).
It’s a turn-based battle against a single enemy with massive HP.
The boss attacks every 3 turns.
The boss applies debuffs and counters your champions.
The boss’s HP resets weekly.

🛡️ Boss Attacks and Phases

The Clan Boss follows a fixed attack pattern:

Attack 1: Hits all champions with heavy AoE damage.
Attack 2: Hits a single champion with massive damage.
Attack 3: Applies provoke and debuff cleanse on self.

Knowing this pattern helps you plan when to apply buffs and when to shield your champions.

📊 Damage Calculation: What You Need to Know

Clan Boss has 100% resistance to critical hits, so crit damage and crit rate do not apply here. Instead, raw attack power, buffs, and debuffs determine your damage output.

⚔️ Champion Roles for Clan Boss

1. Attackers / Nukers

High base ATK champions with multiple hits per skill are ideal.

Kael (Magic) – AoE Poison, multiple hits
Coldheart (Magic) – AoE Poison + Weaken
Gorgorab (Spirit) – AoE Poison, buff removal
Miscreated Monster (Spirit) – High multiplier AoE
Bellower (Spirit) – AoE attacks with poison

2. Buffers

Champions that increase your team's damage output.

Skullcrown (Void) – Ally Attack Up, Increase Attack
Spiritmaster (Spirit) – Ally Attack Up + Ally Turn Meter boost
Prince Kymar (Void) – Buff removal + Attack Up

3. Debuffers

Clan Boss is vulnerable to Decrease Defense, Decrease Attack, and Poison.

Kael – Poison and Decrease Defense
Coldheart – Poison + Weaken Attack
Tayrel – AoE Decrease Defense
Miscreated Monster – Decrease Defense

4. Healers / Support

Support champs aren’t common but can help in Ultra-Nightmare phases.

Roshcard the Tower – Ally Shield and Heal
Gorgorab – Ally Revive and Buff

🏗️ Building Your Clan Boss Team

Step 1: Choose Your Nukers

Focus on champions with multiple hits and poison effects.
Kael and Coldheart are the top-tier early to mid-game nukers.

Step 2: Add Buffers and Debuffers

Add Skullcrown or Spiritmaster for Attack Up and Turn Meter boosts.
Add multiple debuffers for Decrease Defense, Decrease Attack, and Poison.

Step 3: Speed Tune Your Team

You want to take as many turns as possible in the 2-minute window.
Your team should ideally be speed tuned so your champions always get their turns before the boss.
Example speed tuning:
- Support buffs → Nukers → Debuffers
Use Speed set boots to increase turn frequency.

Step 4: Survive Boss AoEs

Prioritize HP% and DEF% on accessories.
Shield or Heal champions if you have supports like Roshcard or Gorgorab.
