This is the exact Demo 0.5.5 boss formation: authored cell 3,4 maps to the center of the enemy front row at r0c3.

Example solution

Kai represents the durable first target. Karsu and Irini represent the lower-rank scaling boss damage that Aesah recommends keeping available.

Patch and source notes

The encounter set is current to Demo 0.5.5. The strategic interpretation remains tied to Demo 0.5.2; it should be tested again whenever targeting or enemy behavior changes.

Current enemy record

Enemy identity and listed abilities use the site's current Demo 0.5.5 game data. No unverified damage or timing values are added here.

Hydra stage formation

The shipped Demo 0.5.5 stage data places this boss at authored cell 3,4 (front-row center), mapped here to enemy slot r0c3.

Aesah's Red Rift guide

Positioning and team-role notes are adapted from Aesah's Demo 0.5.2 Red Rift guide. They are starting points, not claims that one fixed formation solves every roll.
