What is the Chimera Clan Boss?

The Chimera introduces a unique, time-limited Clan Boss encounter, featuring 13 distinct phases across 65 turns. Unlike other Clan Bosses that react to your damage output, Chimera cycles through a predetermined sequence of forms: Ultimate, Ram, Lion, and Viper. Each form brings its own set of mechanics, such as isolating a champion for a one-on-one duel (Ram), unleashing powerful AoE attacks (Lion), or managing poison stacks (Viper). Every few turns, Chimera reverts to its Ultimate form, resetting buffs and gearing up for the next transformation.

In contrast to traditional bosses that reward high burst damage and cooldown management, Chimera prioritizes timing, team synergy, and control. Anticipating the next form and adjusting your strategy accordingly is crucial. Each form requires a different approach—whether it's cleansing debuffs, shielding your team, executing burst damage, or reviving fallen champions. Failing to manage your skills effectively can lead to a team wipe, even with the strongest champions.

This guide will dissect each of Chimera's forms, offer champion recommendations, suggest gear sets and masteries, and provide insights on turn management and trial objectives to ensure you're fully prepared for this complex and rewarding challenge.

Trial Objectives

These in-battle tasks unlock valuable relics and performance boosts. Examples include:

• Place 6 unique debuffs while under Increase Accuracy
• Deal X damage with Counterattacks or Ally Attacks
• Complete 3 turns without taking damage during Lion Form
• Survive a duel without losing the targeted champion

Each trial you complete grants a performance boost or a relic reward. Aim to build your team composition with 2-3 of these objectives in mind for each run.

The Chimera Clan Boss in RAID: Shadow Legends represents the most mechanically sophisticated PvE challenge to date. Unlike traditional bosses that test your damage potential, Chimera challenges your strategic acumen. It necessitates meticulous management of buffs and cooldowns, foresight regarding its form rotation, and a versatile team capable of navigating every phase. Merely stacking power won't cut it; you need a team that knows when to cleanse, tank, or burst. Each form presents a unique puzzle, and the most successful players approach this fight not as a raid, but as a strategic game of chess. With the right champions, optimized gear, and well-timed actions, you can master Chimera's patterns and claim the rewards reserved for elite teams.
