How to Prepare

• You fight Nyxara, Devourer of Worlds solo, and there is no rest heal before the encounter, so arrive with real HP in the bank and sustain already flowing: lifesteal earned in the fight itself, plus potions bought with gold beforehand.
• An escort wave of the biome's regular enemies fights first. Only after they fall does Nyxara, Devourer of Worlds step out alone for the closing wave, so keep enough HP and cooldowns in reserve for the real fight.
• Its kit includes a heal. It fights its own wave alone, so that heal restores its own HP: bring enough sustained damage to outpace it, not just one big burst.
• It can buff its own stats mid-fight, so the fight gets tougher the longer it drags on, not easier.
• It can stun you, skipping one of your turns outright, so don't fight this one on a razor-thin HP margin.
• It can inflict Burning, damage that keeps ticking after the hit lands, so don't count only your burst; a dragged-out fight bleeds you too.
• It carries a ramping enrage from its very first turn: the longer the fight runs, the more true damage it drains from you every turn, so do not stall.
• Its Void Aegis caps every single hit you land to 3% of its own max HP, so no single burst can delete it early. Expect a longer fight than your raw damage numbers suggest.
• This fight tightens further on higher difficulties, especially Nightmare.
• Floor 100 is the story climax of the descent, and most runs arrive here only after gearing up and fusing across all the floors above.
• If you wipe, you restart at floor 1, but your permanent upgrades and talents carry over, so a loss here is a setback, not a full reset. Optional Hardcore mode also destroys your equipped gear on a wipe.
