Added combat statistics, weakness, mechanics, and recommended team
Imaginadough is a Story Boss encounter in Neverness to Everness. Imaginadough is weak to Chaos damage.
Imaginadough is one of the launch story-tier Anomaly bosses. Its fixed health pool across every challenge level is unusual for the launch roster: the encounter is designed as a damage-output check rather than a sustain test, so survivable Chaos teams clear it once and replay it for difficulty milestones rather than for long-form learning.

The team picks below are aligned to the Chaos weakness. Pulling any of these into the active rotation is the highest single-stat increase you can apply to Imaginadough's clear time.

Fill the boss's break meter with consistent attacks and reward-heavy defensive inputs. Successful parries and dodges contribute significantly more to the break bar than a hit, and a clean parry also fills the Esper Cycle Meter instantly. Save ultimates and heaviest skills for the stagger window that follows a full break. Imaginadough takes greatly increased damage while staggered, so burst output during this phase largely determines whether the encounter clears quickly. Build the team around the Chaos weakness. Characters aligned with Chaos will see the largest damage multiplier, and team compositions that can enable elemental reactions on top of that attribute will apply additional pressure to the break bar between stagger windows.
The table below lists the boss's raw resistance value for each of the six elements. A lower number marks the element the boss is most vulnerable to. For Imaginadough, that element is Chaos.
Element | Resistance | Note |
|---|---|---|
Cosmos | 0.20 | Standard |
Anima | 0.20 | Standard |
Incantation | 0.20 | Standard |
Chaos | 0.16 | Weakness |
Psyche | 0.20 | Standard |
Lakshana | 0.20 | Standard |
Imaginadough is unusual among the launch boss roster: HP stays fixed at 3,200,000 across every challenge level. ATK and DEF are the only stats that scale, so the fight tests damage output rather than survivability.
Level | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 3,200,000 | 104 | 720 |
2 | 3,200,000 | 173 | 780 |
3 | 3,200,000 | 277 | 840 |
4 | 3,200,000 | 416 | 900 |
5 | 3,200,000 | 625 | 960 |
6 | 3,200,000 | 902 | 990 |
7 | 3,200,000 | 1,250 | 1,020 |
8 | 3,200,000 | 1,666 | 1,050 |
The fixed HP pool means Daffodil and Lacrimosa win or lose by their burst window, not by the team's longevity. Front-load the Discord trio reaction stack into the first stagger to take the largest chunk off Imaginadough's static health bar.
