Chroma Hexagon is an elite neuron in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has unique mechanics for increasing defense. The boss can be found in a secret location on the edge of the Continent, and the battle with him will require maximum attention and the correct distribution of action points. The enemy not only deals significant damage to fighters, but also focuses on his own defense, receiving barriers and gradually becoming completely invulnerable.
In this guide, we'll look at how to make a monster immune to damage, what techniques will help you deal with a huge number of barriers, and we'll also provide recommendations on how to build it so you don't run out of AP.
Where to find boss Chrome Hexagon
Chroma Hexagon is located in the location "Cave in the Rock Wave Cliffs". You can get there after completing the location "Rockwave Cliffs", completing this region will allow Eskier to sail and transport the expedition to the islands and other parts of the Continent.
Once you land on the shore, go to a small location. Move forward along the paths until you find yourself on a cliff, from which you can use a hook to reach the arena with a waiting enemy.
How to beat Chrom Hexagon in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Unlike the enemies we've already encountered, to defeat the Nevron boss in question, it's not enough to get used to parrying and consistently dealing damage. The enemy increases his defense level every turn, so it's important to focus on preventing him from doing so first.
What to do if the boss does not take damage
Each turn, the enemy sends strange energy through the crystal, changing its color. After a few turns, you will find yourself attacking Chrom Hexagon, but it does not take any damage at all.
When energy is directed, the crystal changes its color: no color → white → yellow → orange → red. As soon as the neuron's body lights up scarlet, the boss will become invulnerableTo knock down this boost, you need to go into free fire mode and hit the glowing element several times. After that, the buff status will roll back one level, and repeated shots will weaken the enemy even more.
Equipment and skills for replenishing AP
The key mechanic of the battle is invulnerability, which must be knocked down with the help of shots. Shooting consumes one AP, so expedition may have problems using skills during their turns, as well as a lack of resources to "roll back" the enemy's phases.
Use skills that restore action points, such as "Paradigm Shift" at Verso or "Heat exchange" Lune. In particularly critical cases, you can use an Energy Tonic on the next ally to take the turn. Also, make sure all units are equipped with Dodger to benefit from Perfect Dodge.
Destroy the shields
Another unpleasant feature of the enemy is that he regularly puts shields on himself. This will not only prevent you from inflicting damage on the enemy, but will also prevent you from attacking the crystal to stop the invulnerability status from approaching. As soon as the boss gets shields, think through the sequence of actions in such a way as to effectively get rid of the barriers and leave OD for shooting.
Barriers also affect the combat power of the monster: the number of hits in a combination directly depends on the number of active shields, he can perform either 3 attacks or all 11. For this reason, ignoring enemy armor can lead to the sudden death of a squad member.
Skill Breaking the Rules Mael
The most important skill for the entire squad when fighting a boss is "Breaking the Rules" by Mael. The skill allows you to deal good physical damage and convert enemy shields into AP, which can later be spent on shooting at the crystal. It will give the greatest benefit if allies can maintain the "Defenseless" status on the opponent: Mael will immediately be able to attack in Virtuoso Position.
