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 |

8 | 3,200,000 | 1,666 | 1,050 |
The fixed HP pool means Daffodill 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.

Fight Imaginadough during Love that Begins with Lies at the Azure Vista campsite in Unheard Shores. As health falls, it splits into two bodies at roughly 70%, then three near the end. The clones share damage, so focus on one while watching the other bodies' attacks.
The story encounter does not provide a separate material drop bundle. Treat the stored level-stat table as a reference, rather than assuming it creates a repeatable difficulty selection after the Spinoff.
