[@voltrixgames4375]

@@jackknight1899 to be fair the short path on part 1 is easy you’re meant to do a lot of dps to force his boat summoning phases every 25% hp but the other defense you need to handle a shit ton of enemies yeah lol

[@caster269]

The boss seems harder than it actually is right now since people are learning it. Not saying it’s easy, just not as completely absurd as it currently seems. Boats spawn in other stages after you trigger the ending. If you already have ops picked up before the boss stage you can immediately kill the boats and cut down 75% of the phase 2 enemy swarms. The boat being on stage is what gives him immunity. When approached as intended the difficulty becomes balancing two teams of reduced squad size that can tackle each part of the map.

[@voltrixgames4375]

@@caster269 still among the hardest boss. you literally are choosing to sacrifice your ops earlier to make later stages harder but the boss easier. however as good as that helps phase 2, it makes phase 1 (i mean first map my bad xd) much more difficult. ch14 drones make everything stupid fucking tanky. theres a lot of tight mechanics that can fuck you up pretty easily because the defense required for phase 1/2 is a very tall order. like seriously the swarms on phase 2 (still first map) are crazy and the boats are tanky. if you cant destroy the boats fast enough you get a lot of enemies regardless because the chunks are quite chunky

[@nier3072]

One thing i really know and understand about this boss is that his Invisible phase for every 25% is really dammn long and way toooo annoying to deal with.

[@nier3072]

and that kidnap mechanic is also pain in the a55 to deal with. you're forced to only fight with the kidnapped operator, in that short a55 2nd stage lane lmao. Where you also need a strong Operator to fight the 1st Stage. Definitely the most difficult boss mechanic so far in Arknights.

[@OTKTamashii]

⁠@@nier3072I personally think this is neat. While I’m always up for very unique mechanics in boss fights, I do agree that failing on your 1st try guaranteed can be annoying. What I do find VERY annoying are those orbs that you need to heal before they explode on your ops. You’re sorta forced to bring a large number of AoE healers, or even Eyja Alter to do a healing check before you get overwhelmed in a snap

I mean, she dishes out big damage normally, without any IS buffs or anything. One of the most busted units in the game imo.

[@Muzakr_Halfdan]

This is the fourth Lord of Fiends Qui'lon. In the normal timeline he became the 4th Lord of Fiends upon slaying Balor'saca who was the 3rd Lord of Fiends, after he murdered their friend who was the 2nd Lord of Fiends Gul'dul due to a difference in how they believed the Sarkaz should handle the threat of the Elders. Balor'saca believed they should destroy them all, no matter how long or how many lives it takes, Gul'dul believed that maybe they could reason with them, and hopefully co-exist with these "Invaders" of Terra. In a fit of rage, Balor'saca murdered Gul'dul in a coup de tat, and set fire to the newly built Kazdel, Qui'lon arrived to see only flame and destruction. He then seen what Balor'saca had done, and thus they engaged in a fight to the death, during the battle, Qui'lon managed to stab Balor'saca's throat, killing him. He then forcefully took the Civilight Eterna and became the 4th Lord of Fiends. Qui'lon is also one of the Lord of Fiends that have an influence on Amiya in the form of her blade and armor piece in Guard form, Ying Xiao looks very similar to that of his blade he called "Wrathful Cerulean Flame" her theme song is also titled as such. After he slain Balor'saca he then went on to lead a large amount of followers off into the east in seek of aid from the Elders who were known to be hostile towards the Sarkaz, as such many kings decided to instead fight them with equal amounts of hatred. However Qui'lon, he too held the same mindset as Gul'dul and believed that maybe they would think differently if they came in peace along with perhaps the Sarkaz and the "Invaders" could co-exist, thus he made the long journey there where he then vanished from history's records permanently. It is revealed from within Amiya's memories due to her being the new Lord of Fiends, he did indeed reach the Elder's location, and they surprisingly welcomed him, only to later betray him by slaughtering his people, in a wrathful state he then slain them all before he took his own life. Most likely due to his own failure to recognize their deceit and protect his people.

Anasa and Oni are basically Buddhism demons in Yen(CN) and Higashi(JP), lore-wisely they are Sarkaz who followed the demon king Qui'lon to the east and settled there centuries ago. Yeah, basically all religions in Terra has something to do with the Sarkaz, Buddha has no exception. Since the most Buddhists lives in China and the most influential Buddhism region is China, it is no surprise these enemies are Yen related.

bruh this is unbeatable without over 30 base hp

[@Hindshell5438]

Do note that this is A15. Its should be easier in A1 difficulty, but yeah, it will still be pretty tough

[@Vonmanius]

I think leaking him is the intended strat. Aside from the fact that he has double the hp of the other is5 bosses and is much more trickier to deal with, all the enemies will immediately disappear once you leak him, unlike all the previous bosses where they still remain even after the boss has left the field. As further proof, if you just let him walk directly into the blue box without resisting, you won’t even see the huge waves of mobs spawn, making it so that you encounter exactly 31 enemies (which coincidentally or not is the number of life points needed to leak him and survive).

[@xivilius.]
