There's also a Mob Gauge (that shows in the top of the screen, like Zakum) for Magnus. Why would that be there if he didn't have HP? I think his HP is server sided because they wanted to bypass the 32-bit integer wall.
Yes, increasing health will work, that always works. Look at Chaos Pink Bean. 61b HP! Then look at Empress, with only 2.1b HP. Weak pomegranate right there, I tell you.
Seriously, Empress was the best-designed boss so far. If Kaiser doesn't take several months to defeat, it's an abject failure IMO. There's even a financial incentive to making a nigh-impossible boss for Nexon Korea. You have more people buying Nx to get incredible gear because they think that will help them beat the boss. Then you either fix the boss or release something new that requires even more Nx that you can't beat the boss without (new potential tier, more potential lines, new scrolls that are really risky and need shielding wards, etc).
