A Sephiria boss preparation guide focused on inventory planning, Side Bag swaps, chapter routes, and build focus before boss doors.

Quick answer

Before a boss, check the build you already have: one damage plan, active artifacts, useful tablet adjacency, enough sustain, and any Side Bag pieces that should be swapped in before the door.

Boss door checklist

Check	What to look at
Main damage plan	Do not split the run between too many unfinished branches. Keep one weapon route or combo family as the center.
Artifact levels	Make sure the artifacts carrying the build are active and not pushed into disabled level ranges.
Tablet placement	Put level-up spaces next to pieces that actually matter for the boss attempt.
Side Bag	Keep situational sustain, burst, or utility pieces ready for boss swaps instead of forcing everything into the active grid.
Co-op	In online co-op, coordinate shared item decisions and revives before entering longer fights.

Useful boss prep themes

Theme	When it helps
Frost / Control	Useful when the run needs freeze uptime, attack-speed pressure, or more stable boss telegraph windows.
Storm / Lightning	Useful when the run needs multi-target jumps, cloud damage, or stronger room clear before boss swaps.
Guardian / Firmness	Useful when the run is leaning into defense, guard value, or safer sustain.
Side Bag swaps	Useful before chapter bosses, especially when a few situational pieces are better for the boss than for normal rooms.
