Introduction

The game gives you a significant amount of Type 3 chips which gives you a chance to actually acquire the higher rarity items from the world bosses in the game. But if we already know how to fight each of the bosses with our raid mates or randoms, which one should we actually do?

All of them have the same chance of SSR weapon acquisition as well as SR weapon acquisition but the real difference is the Matrices and the Relics. I'll go through all of them briefly and then lay out the reasoning for each.

For those who didn't know already these are the percentage chance for each item.

Assuming of course you're using the Type 3 tickets (otherwise you can't obtain the following)

SSR Weapon: 1.3%

SSR Matrix: Below level 40: 2.0%, 40+: 2.6%

SR Matrix: Below level 30: 6.0%. 30+: 7.9%

This means at minimum I'd recommend to hold off from doing raids until you're level 30 if you're impatient but if you have a high level of patience then you should wait until level 40.

Rewards

Baseline all bosses will have the chance to acquire an SSR weapon and SR weapon. So in the rewards of each boss we'll only list out unique drops.

Sobek

Fanatical PursuitFanatical Pursuit Swamp ShadowSwamp Shadow Cybernetic ArmCybernetic Arm

Easily the best one with all three unique drops being top tier and great respectively.

Crow's own matrix is used almost universally currently for most main DPS units and Sobek's own matrix is one of the few SR matrices that's good and decently universal if you don't have SSR Matrices.

Highly Recommended.

Very underwhelming overall.

SR Matrix is far too conditional to warrant usage with it's 3 piece set. Huma's Matrix is another Matrix that is conditional as you're going to only use it on characters who are dash attack spammers (assuming you're using the 2 piece which you should, the 4 piece is not worth it). Hovering Cannon is not too impressive as far as relics go either. With only really the SSR Matrix being usable I can't really see it in me to recommend this world boss.

Not recomended.

Fairly good overall Shiro's Matrix is among the best matrices in the game currently and very universal and echo's matrix in my opinion when ascended to a high rating especially given that you're given a decent amount for free a good pickup. Quantum Cloak is just bad, It has like no usage that I can see (no pun intended).

I'd recommend it but with the caveat that some may rate Echo's Matrix much lower than I which devalues this boss a bit.

Recommended.

Apophis

Eye of WindEye of Wind Internal StruggleInternal Struggle CouantCouant

Ehhh, I'm not too impressed.

Tsubasa's Matrix is only from what I can see used on her and even then you'd see her in instances where the two piece actually won't be fulfilled making the overall advantage of this piece in reality just poor. Apophis is a bit too conditional when there's other options that will just give you a straight damage increase without the dangerous game of low hp. The relic is a defensive one and does not really see much usage.

I can definitely see some cheese being possible with Apophis Matrix if you like to play dangerous games but other than that this boss is

Not Recommended.

Robarg

Good, almost as good as Sobek honestly.

All three of the uniques are fairly good overall. King's Matrix is good for shieldbreaking units adding some utility to their kit to add to one of the more universal pieces such as shiro's.. Robarg's Matrix is good for shieldbreaking units as it gives them another set of damage after the shieldbreak, it's an overall good piece when you're making your way to the SSR matrices. If it was not for Sobek's piece being so universal they would more than likely be in the same tier. Missile barrage is what you were given early on and it remains an okay damage stat stick and has usage at the very least outside of the overworld so I'd say it's good.

I'm tempted to put it in the same tier as Sobek but as the grapple is not free like free with your xbox free, I would recommend farming Sobek so you can quickly get the grapple for easier exploring.

Recommended.

Barbarossa

Pure White GuardianPure White Guardian Double NightmaresDouble Nightmares Magnetic PulseMagnetic Pulse

Not very good, all defensive utility.

All of the Matrices are defensive matrices with pretty bad conditionals. Meryl's matrix is so poor mostly because of it's conditional statement being so rare that you'd have to intentionally be at that health level and it being a defensive utility. Barbarossa you can argue has an okay Matrix but it's a defensive utility that's not as universal as a simple damage increase would give you. The Relic itself is ehh and I wouldn't brood over not having one.

Not Recommended.
