Chroma Lancelier is the first optional boss in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which can be difficult in the early game. Successful completion depends on mastering dodging and parrying, the enemy clearly demonstrates the importance of these mechanics in battles with hostile inhabitants of the Continent.
Like all neurons of the Spring Levada, it has weak points, hitting which will help the expedition squad speed up the battle and emerge victorious. In the guide, we will tell you about all the vulnerabilities of the boss and present tactics for killing him.
Where is Chroma Lancelier
You can meet Chrom Lancelier in Spring Levada during the main storyline. If you postponed the fight with him for later, then the closest path:
- get to Expedition Flag 81 "Big Levada" and turn right towards the small forest with ruins;
- Having overcome the serpentine, come to a fork, and if you are also going through the story, you will meet the Wing-Lasters in the area;
- Instead of going up the mountain, go to the right along the path, it will lead to the habitat of the neuron.
Keep in mind that the boss can attack if you get too close to him. Prepare yourself in advance for the fact that you will need to carefully monitor the enemy's attack animations to avoid attacks.
How to beat Chrom Lancelier in Clair Obscur Expedition 3
Despite the simple mechanics of the opponent, difficulties may arise in the early stages of the game due to short timings for dodging and parrying. However, if you know the weak points and use the most optimal skills, killing the boss will not be difficult.
Shoot at the weak point
Like regular Lanceliers, the monster has a weak point - monoglaz core. When you hit it with a targeted shot, the enemy loses 1/3 of their health. This can reduce the number of moves until you defeat the neuron.
Cause Break with skills
By hitting vulnerable spots and dealing powerful blows, the boss's breakdown scale is filled. It is located under the health bar and increases proportionally to the damage inflicted. If Chroma Lancelier is not killed before this indicator is replenished, use skills with the possibility of Breaking to stun and make the enemy skip a turn. In Gustave it is "Discharge" and "Concussion", and Lune has "Landslide", "Crackling Bark" and "Pulse of the Earth".
Use the Ice element
The enemy is vulnerable to Ice, so put a skill with this element to inflict more damage. In this case, the starting skill Lune is perfect "Ice Spear".
How to parry techniques
In the early stages, missing an enemy's blow will quickly result in a defeat for the squad, so it is important to learn how to dodge or parry techniques in time. To hit the timing, pay attention to the animation of the techniques:
- Double Strike: wait until the swing is finished and as the weapon approaches, prepare to parry twice;
- slow hit: Prepare to parry after the swing animation ends;
- swift strike: As soon as you notice the lunge animation starting, parry or dodge.
This boss does not require mandatory reflection of attacks, but due to the additional damage from counterattacks, it will be possible to deal with the neuron faster than using dodge.
