Okay, I was able to do it in my Shadower and wow, I love these new bosses. Much more interactive than holding down one attack key and potting when necessary. I thought I'd hate how the bosses do set damage, but I found manually dodging their attacks was pretty fun.
Soloed Von Bon and Pierre and partied with a pretty strong group for Crimson Queen and Vellum.
Von Bon- Pretty straightforward DPS sandbag. Lure him into the black clock if you need time. Gets a big annoying at the end when he spams his whirlwind attack.
Pierre- Super knockback is hella annoying but other than that, he's easy if your party is not stupid. His falling hats will dispel Shadow Partner and Mirror Image.
Crimson Queen:
1) Wrathful face's claw swipe inflicts Blindness and she has a breath attack that only shoots in front of her. It OHKO's me, but you have ample time to get behind her and dodge it.
2) Joyous face's claw swipe inflicts the Seduce that reverses your control and she can create two round, black tiles that slowly drag you in and do fixed damage to you if you're in their radii.
3) Simmering face was the most annoying; made soloing her for me impossible. She creates a mirror and then seduces you so that your character will move towards it. If you touch it, you get OHKO and she heals ~30% of her HP. The Mirror can be destroyed and I think you can Hero's Will out of her seduce.
4) Sorrowful face creates a giant red bubble that has Damage Reflect properties. I think she can also inflict some kind of DoT.
Vellum- Ugh, this guy was kind of annoying with his constant burrowing; you have ample time to get out of the way though. He can drop stalactites that inflict stun, but they drop about 2 seconds after a red circle appears. Starts dropping some green flames once his HP gets low enough that damage you if you stand on them, and the damage they do stack.
Vellum was a lot easier than I thought; my 5 other parties members all used up their Death Counts and I didn't die once. Never thought I'd see the day my Shadower would carry a party
. The poor Buccaneer in our party kept dying to the giant circle burrow attack. Lol.
