What is the Chimera Clan Boss?

The Chimera Clan Boss is a time-constrained fight divided into 13 distinct phases across 65 turns. Unlike traditional Clan Bosses that react to your damage, Chimera follows a fixed sequence of forms: Ultimate, Ram, Lion, and Viper. Each form introduces unique mechanics, such as isolating a champion for a one-on-one duel (Ram), unleashing devastating AoE attacks (Lion), or applying and triggering poison stacks (Viper). Periodically, Chimera reverts to its Ultimate form to reset buffs and gear up for its next transformation.

Unlike bosses that favor burst damage and cooldown cycles, Chimera rewards timing, team synergy, and control. Anticipating the next form and preparing your team is crucial. Each phase requires specific responses—cleansing debuffs, shielding allies, bursting damage, or reviving fallen champions—and mistiming your abilities can lead to a team wipe, even with elite champions.

This guide details each Chimera form, offering champion recommendations, gear sets, masteries, turn management strategies, and trial objectives to prepare you for this complex and rewarding battle.

Each trial provides a performance boost or relic reward. Aim to build your team with 2–3 objectives in mind per run.

The Chimera Clan Boss in RAID: Shadow Legends is the game’s most intricate PvE challenge. Unlike traditional bosses that test raw damage, Chimera demands strategic precision. It requires meticulous buff and cooldown management, proactive planning for form transitions, and a versatile team that can endure every phase. Raw power alone won’t cut it—you need a lineup that knows when to cleanse, tank, or burst. Each form is a unique puzzle, and the most successful players approach this fight like a strategic chess match. With the right champions, optimized gear, and precise timing, you can conquer Chimera’s patterns and claim rewards reserved for elite teams.
