Bosses

Bosses are a much stronger variant of enemies. They have high health, high damage, and many attacks. They are also partly resistant to status effects: for example, negative effects inflicted on them expire 20% faster than normal.

There are currently thirteen bosses in the game: The Concierge, Conjunctivius, Mama Tick, the Time Keeper, the Giant, the Scarecrow, the Hand of the King, the Servants, the Queen, a 5 BSC exclusive boss, and the Return to Castlevania DLC bosses.
