Introduction
Boss Challenge teams need a different kind of discipline from normal stages. The goal is usually reliable damage during useful windows while surviving long enough for the plan to work. Pure rarity is not enough if the board cannot stay alive or if support is placed where it helps nobody.

Quick Answer
A Boss Challenge team should include:
- Focused damage.
- Enough survival to keep damage online.
- Support or buffs where allies can benefit.
- Food and upgrade spending on deployed Tatari.
- Repeat tests after one controlled change.
Recommended Strategy
Start with your best damage lane, then ask whether it dies, times out, or lacks support. If the team dies, add frontline or healing before adding more damage. If the team survives but underperforms, improve damage, attack speed, element coverage, or support placement.
Boss Challenge can make food value visible because longer fights expose weak sustain and unfinished projects. Spend food on Tatari that actually enter the attempt.
Best Options
Good candidates include damage dealers with clear role value, supports that improve nearby allies, and frontliners that buy time without consuming every resource. Avoid building a specialist unless the fight specifically rewards that tool.

Beginner Mistakes
Do not rebuild the whole team after one attempt. Do not overfeed a bench Tatari because it might be useful later. Do not ignore survival if damage units keep falling before they matter.
FAQ
Is Boss Challenge only about DPS?
No. Damage matters, but uptime and survival decide whether damage can happen.
Should I use my campaign team?
Use it as a starting point, then adjust for the boss problem.
When should I upgrade for Boss?
Upgrade when the change improves repeated attempts, not after one unlucky run.
