Whether you're your clan's MVP or just beginning to tackle high-level PvE, this guide will show you how to assemble the optimal Chimera team, fine-tune your equipment and masteries, and perfect your rotation strategy for every combat phase. The challenge isn't merely lasting 65 turns—it's conquering each transition to secure maximum rewards. New players should start with our RAID: Shadow Legends Beginner's Guide.
Understanding the Chimera Clan Boss
This limited-time Clan Boss encounter spans 13 fixed phases across 65 turns. Unlike traditional bosses that respond to damage output, Chimera cycles through predetermined forms: Ultimate, Ram, Lion, and Viper. Each transformation introduces unique mechanics—from champion isolation duels (Ram) to devastating area attacks (Lion) and poison stack mechanics (Viper). Periodically, Chimera reverts to its Ultimate form to reset buffs before its next transformation.
Where traditional bosses reward sheer damage output, Chimera prioritizes timing, team synergy, and tactical control. Anticipating upcoming forms and preparing accordingly is crucial—each demands specific responses (cleansing, shielding, burst attacks, revives). Misjudging your skill rotation can defeat even the strongest rosters.
Our guide thoroughly explains Chimera's forms, then provides champion recommendations, gear setups, mastery configurations, turn control strategies, and trial objectives for this intricate battle.

Success requires understanding when to purify, defend, or strike aggressively.
