It's not just about enduring 65 turns; it's about triumphing through each phase transition and securing every reward available. New players, we suggest you start with our comprehensive Beginner’s Guide for RAID: Shadow Legends for a thorough introduction to the game.

What is the Chimera Clan Boss?

The Chimera presents a unique, time-limited Clan Boss challenge, featuring 13 fixed phases over a total of 65 turns. Unlike other Clan Bosses that adjust to your damage, Chimera operates on a predetermined sequence of forms: Ultimate, Ram, Lion, and Viper. Each form introduces distinct mechanics, such as the Ram's 1v1 duel, the Lion's devastating AoE attacks, or the Viper's poison stacking and detonation. Periodically, Chimera reverts to its Ultimate form to reset buffs and gear up for the next transformation.

Chimera shifts the focus from sheer damage output and cooldown management to timing, teamwork, and control. Anticipating the next form and preparing your team accordingly is crucial. Each form calls for a specific response—whether it's cleansing debuffs, shielding your team, bursting damage, or reviving fallen champions. Failing to manage your skills effectively can lead to a team wipe, even with the best champions.

This guide will detail each of Chimera’s forms, offering insights into champion selection, gear sets, mastery choices, turn management strategies, and trial objectives to equip you for this complex and rewarding encounter.

Trial Objectives

Completing in-battle tasks during the Chimera fight unlocks valuable relics and performance boosts. Here are some examples:

• Apply 6 unique debuffs while benefiting from Increase Accuracy
• Inflict X amount of damage using Counterattacks or Ally Attacks
• Survive 3 turns without taking damage during the Lion Form
• Win a duel without losing the targeted champion

Each trial completed rewards you with a performance boost or a relic. Aim to build your team composition with 2–3 specific trials in mind for each run.

The Chimera Clan Boss in RAID: Shadow Legends is the epitome of strategic PvE challenges. While traditional bosses may test your damage potential, Chimera delves into the depths of your tactical acumen. It demands meticulous control over buffs and cooldowns, foresight in planning around its form rotation, and a versatile team capable of navigating every phase. Merely amassing power won't suffice; you need a team that knows precisely when to cleanse, tank, or unleash a burst of damage. Each form poses a new strategic puzzle, and the most successful players approach this battle not as a typical raid, but as a sophisticated game of chess. With the right champions, optimal gear, and impeccable timing, you can master Chimera's intricate patterns and claim the rewards reserved for the elite teams.
