What to bring against this boss

A party from all 38 heroes of the game, at level 1 and without stars — so what shows is the hero, not the investment in them.

Ignar — Chaos
Karmin — Chaos
Rubeus — Chaos
Viridia — Life
Bron — Chaos

Why this party

Chaos hits the chapter's school for ×1.5
the boss reduces incoming damage by 6 — one big hit lands better than five small ones
the rage turns on at 45% health — shields and barriers are worth more
the party has team healing
the party has a tank

The advice is assembled from data: element against the chapter's school, the boss's traits, role balance and variety of abilities. The weights of the terms are reasoning, not a measurement in battle.

Opening

I walk against the current of grey — upstream along the river of the Void, toward the place it seeps into the world.

Here, at the mute source of the ether, I hear it clearly for the first time: the Void is neither blind nor random. Someone is pouring it.

Ending

The source shudders — and for a moment the ether sings again.

Out of the silence strides Theron, Warden of the First Ray: "I guarded this wellspring until I fell mute myself. You woke me — now lead."

Now I know: the Void has a source. And the source has a master. The Voice beyond the Maw calls me by name.
