Von Bon:
His projectile is easy enough to jump over, but lag/too many things on the screen going on can make it hard to see and my character died in one hit from it, making the battle a little tough. I couldn't really find a good way to dish damage onto him without getting hit and having to constantly move. Fortunately, his low HP makes up for this, as he dies fairly quickly.
Pierre:
Massive lag every time he changed his/the player's hat color. Hopefully this will get fixed. As previously stated, only damage him when his hat is opposite your color, or purple which is neutral for both sides. When he disappears (his OHKO), it is a good time to get away from him as quickly as possible. Once again, not too hard of a boss. Just avoid his one-hitter and you're set.
Crimson Queen:
The only real challenge, in my opinion. The others were annoying, but this actually requires the player to pay attention and focus on other parts of the map before attacking the boss. Her face without eyes is her Damage Reflection phase. When she puts her hands together like she is praying, this is when to stop attacking because shortly after she will summon the red bubble. Her other phases are very annoying and can be a pain when she uses her OHKO breath attack while you're blind. Destroy mirrors, as they should take priority to avoid player deaths/boss recovering HP.
Vellum:
Surprisingly a pushover. This can easily be done without dying if you just pay attention to the ground. His golden circle indicates where he is about to emerge. It doesn't hit too hard, but when you are hit, just potion up really quickly and get back to attacking. Once his health is down to about 3/4, he will begin to stay out of the ground longer allowing for more damage to be dealt. However, this is also when he uses his fireballs to one-hit players, so always stay right on him, or behind. You can tell when he is about to do this attack because he roars right before it. Rocks will also be falling which are easily avoidable. Eventually he will start poisoning the air, so constantly attack and potion while you finish up the battle.
One of the simplest battles if you have a strong team who knows what they're doing. It just takes a long time since he spends half the time underground.
Summary:
It all boils down to having a high leveled team of strong attackers who can get the boss' HP down quickly. I noticed that all I did throughout each boss was attack, buff when I couldn't attack, heal with potions, and yell at noob party members who don't bother to research before they enter the rooms.
Avoid the attacks and learn the patterns, and you're pretty much set.
as said before, for vellum, checking how high off the ground he is is a good indication of wether he's gonna fireball or not, haven't seen the massive LAZERBLAST from the extractions, so i assume it's from chaos mode? can't wait to try those.
and don't yell at the nubs, if they're nubs their death won't matter much to you, i feel like doing this thing on my main and have someone bring my mules with them for extra loot and boxes :O
