11Tomato Devil is a Story Boss encounter in Neverness to Everness. Tomato Devil is weak to Chaos damage.44Lore and Description66Tomato Devil is the introductory boss encounter in Neverness to Everness, scaled to teach the parry-and-stagger loop on a forgiving difficulty floor. The fight is split into two stages with separate health bars rather than scaling difficulty levels.88Quick Facts1010AttributeValueCategoryStory Boss EncounterSubtitleStory encounterWeaknessChaosChallenge Levels21212Strategy and Mechanics1313Recommended Team1515The 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 Tomato Devil's clear time.1717EsperRarityElementDaffodil5-StarChaosLacrimosa5-StarChaos18+EsperRarityElementDaffodill5-StarChaosLacrimosa5-StarChaos1919General Combat Guidance2020Fill 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. Tomato Devil 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.2222Weakness and Resistances2424The 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 Tomato Devil, that element is Chaos.2626ElementResistanceNoteCosmos0.20StandardAnima0.20StandardIncantation0.20StandardChaos0.16WeaknessPsyche0.20StandardLakshana0.20Standard2828Challenge Level Stats2929Tomato Devil is fought in two stages with separate stat blocks rather than scaling difficulty levels. Each stage carries its own 1,320,000 HP pool. The ATK gain between Stage 1 and Stage 2 is small, so the second stage rewards aggression once Stage 1's pattern is memorized.3131StageHPATKDEF11,320,0003484021,320,000438403333Encounter Notes3434Because Tomato Devil is positioned as a tutorial encounter, players without a Chaos-weak team can substitute any pulled Esper. The fixed health pool keeps the fight fast even with off-element damage; the goal is to teach parry timing rather than test team building.3636Combat Statistics3838FieldValueBoss TypeStory BossLocationLacrimosa story quest areaStamina Cost60 per attemptChallenge LevelsStory (one-time, Lacrimosa story quest)Reset CadenceOne-time story encounterHP (Level 2)1,320,000ATK (Level 2)43DEF (Level 2)8404040Element Weakness and Resistances4141This boss is weak to Chaos damage at 16% resistance, the lowest of the six elements.
