💀 Black/Matrix: bosses and difficult maps
Overcoming maps with strong enemies through formation, terrain, and development preparation.
Black/Matrix — what should I check first in Boss strategies?
Pre-deployment preparation strongly influences results against powerful enemies and demanding maps. Check victory conditions and enemy positions, then finish developing and equipping your main force. If enemies are clustered, use terrain to draw them in and defeat them individually rather than fighting everyone at once.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Understand the systems and your development plan |
|
| Midgame | Stabilize map progression |
|
| Late game | Overcome difficult maps and judge story developments |

1. Your force takes heavy losses on maps
Cause: Overaggressive movement and a disordered formation
Solution: Wait outside enemy attack range and use terrain and reach to defeat opponents individually
2. Only particular units seem weak
Cause: Uneven experience and unclear roles
Solution: Let weaker units land finishing blows to distribute experience, and give them roles suited to their abilities
3. You are unsure how to proceed or what to choose in the story
Cause: Insufficient understanding of branches and upcoming developments
Solution: Save separately before important choices and proceed while checking the results

- ▸ Check victory conditions and enemy positions before deployment
- ▸ Develop and equip the main force before attempting the map
- ▸ Draw enemies in and defeat them individually
Maintain a formation with frontliners absorbing attacks and rear units providing damage and healing. Keep healers away from likely enemy targeting, and withdraw to regroup rather than forcing progress when losses threaten to grow. If you still cannot win, develop units on an earlier map before retrying.
- ▸ Let frontliners absorb attacks while rear units supply damage and healing
- ▸ Position healers where they are less likely to be targeted
- ▸ If you cannot win, develop units further before retrying
