So I don't really judge a boss by its lines, but rather the gameplay... Fun as these lines are, the boss is not fun at all.
Unless you have Skirk of course, which I do, but I realize that not everyone spends money on this game to have counters for everything.

Yeah, i hate this boss too since I don´t have any good cryo characters for them so that I can beat them on my own. Needed a friend to help me with these.

I have Skirk premium team and I still don’t like this boss fight. Everything else is amazing tho. This is the only weekly boss that is very restrictive with the elements, so that’s probably why

If you don't have a palyable freeze team it's awful. I'm doing it with lunar-charged chasca because chasca can ignore phase 1 and in phase two I'm just switching to ororon to eat the 1 hit ko attacks. it's very unsatisfying that I need to use food to win this fight.

Naah it's the worst boss. Wdym I have to take the freeze team every single time 😑
Gold_Pineapple76442026-01-22 07:49
It's the best boss in various aspects. Fighting them is very fun due to the different dynamics and behavior it has.

For just the music/design yes
But mechanically is one of the worst because you can do it only with a freeze team

> you can do it only with a freeze team
Lol, what? I do it every week with Mavuika melt. Citlali alone is enough to fill the bar (alternate between her normal attacks and charged attacks) if you fail to kill it before it starts charging. Just make sure to not hit it with other elements (for instance, Mavuika can just, like, not turn her skill on during that phase, for that I just make sure to only use the skill at the start of the battle and then not use her skill in the next rotation since they start charging soon after the first rotation ends).

No. Why? Too hard. My Skirk too awful and my skill issue too intense.
Individual-Net91382026-01-22 08:16
concept: yes
mechanisms: no unless you have a solid freeze team
Ember_Grove202026-01-22 08:18
I just wish it wasn't just for freeze teams. I love their design and ost though.
issm2026-01-22 08:32
No. The mobs keep running out of attack range and otherwise being untargetable, screwing energy generation and ruining rotations.
Also, what do you mean you need a Freeze team? You only need one character with consistent cryo application. Not even that if you've paid enough attention to meta and teambuilding to brute force it.
I just run Mavuika melt, and if the bosses random running around screws my rotation and I end up seeing the ult, Citlali is enough on her own to clear the gimmick.

You need a freeze team to do a key mechanic or otherwise you guaranteed lose one character every time they do it. I’ve been playing a few months and I don’t particularly like playing kaeya ( his story was cool) and I have a lot of characters to prioritize over rosaria. Luckily I have a whale friend, but otherwise, despite that I want these talent mats, I would be screwed trying it solo. That isn’t fun.
C1 kaeya doesn’t cut it. C0 rosaria doesn’t cut it. Would my arlecchino love a citlali to make this boss work? Yup. But even a few months pretty hardcore, I don’t have the option, and that isn’t fun, even though I think most other things about the boss are.
issm2026-01-22 09:11
You personally not having a viable non-freeze option doesn't mean freeze is required.
Even then, it's an option to just ignore the mechanic and use a food revive.

Not even close. Best weekly boss is Stormterror. My chasca 1 hits her. Can't even see the 2nd phase.
Mewsergal2026-01-22 11:28
Worst boss but Nefer demands the Rook drop.
My only built cryo unit is Layla...
Zypharium2026-01-22 12:36
The worst, I *absolutely hate* him. It takes like 5 to 10 minutes with my poorly aged Ayaka freeze comp. I sadly do not have Escoffier. The concept is great, but it is just too tedious.
