Be The Final Boss Troop Guide

Game storyline (as covered in the video)

• The subtitles don’t describe a traditional “storyline.”
• The focus is entirely on progressing waves and fighting the “final boss” combat in Be the Final Boss (Roblox).

Gameplay highlights & key tips

Core troop recommendations (what to build around)

• Demonic Skeleton Archer (top priority DPS)
  • Highlighted as the best DPS in the game, especially in early/mid game.
  • At level 16:
    • ~3,000 attack
    • ~3,000 HP
    • very efficient population cost (one cost)
  • Versus Demonic Warlock:
    • Warlock’s damage/ability is described as less efficient.
    • Demonic Skeleton Archer is favored because you can field more archers for less cost while keeping overall output stronger.
  • Practical advice:
    • Easy to level
    • Scales quickly with upgrades.
  • Flankers:
    • Don’t worry—archers kill flanking threats rapidly, often before they can meaningfully engage.

Tank/guard lineup (protect DPS)

• Regular Gargoyle (best early “guard” option)
  • Recommended to start.
  • Helps carry players easily to around ~150 waves.
• Iron Skeleton (alternative guard)
  • Suggested if Gargoyle is too expensive/ineffective for you.
• Bone Guard (defensive taunter with utility)
  • Emphasized for HP/taunting to keep DPS units safer in the middle.
  • Also noted as supportive for Skull King.
• Orc (mentioned earlier as a stopgap)
  • Used as a positioning alternative before Skull King.
  • Skull King is later described as superior due to healing and damage.

Supports (what to avoid / minimal exceptions)

• Avoid most supports, including:
  • Death Lock: called not good.
  • Necromancer: “gets away with it,” but still not recommended as a main plan.
    • The creator reports it performed worse than adding more Skeleton Archers, about ~20 waves less at comparable testing.
  • Soul Collector: strongly discouraged despite popularity.
    • Creator claims it does “nothing” and is inefficient compared to investing in stronger damage units.

Melee (avoid investing)

• Strong recommendation to not use melee units.
  • Examples called out as not worth it:
    • Butcher (not good)
    • Demon Lord (not good)
    • Barbarian (even “demonic” variants are described as a trap)
      • Creator reports they never see it above their own level.
• Only melee mentioned positively:
  • A normal level 1 Tomb Hound as an exception.
• Overall: melees are discouraged.

Progression & strategy (how to advance fast)

Upgrade/shard strategy

• Spend effort on units that scale quickly and are cheap/easy to upgrade:
  • Prioritize Demonic Skeleton Archers for fast wave pushing.
  • Don’t waste resources upgrading lower-value choices into higher rarities.
• Shards/fusion:
  • Using fusion shards on uncommon → legendary type upgrades is often not worth it.
  • Creator says they used very few legendary fusion shards overall and does not recommend spending uncommon ones for small buffs.

What to buy (rarity guidance)

• When possible: buy Demonic versions rather than shiny/cursed.
• Explicit warning:
  • Do not buy “shiny” or “cursed.”
  • If you can afford Demonic, choose that.

Formation strategy (endgame push setup)

• Creator’s push formation concept:
  • Skull King in the front
    • Healing/self-sustain is emphasized.
  • Bone Guards supporting Skull King
    • Reduce damage taken via tanking/taunt effects.
    • Help make the frontline sustainable.
  • DPS stays protected in the middle
    • Bone Guards absorb/mitigate incoming damage so archers can keep killing.
• Farming vs pushing:
  • Lower waves: suggested approach is more Skull Kings.
  • Pushing high waves: the Skull King + Bone Guard + DPS core is described as more effective/sustainable.

Key “don’t do this” warnings

• Don’t invest in Soul Collector (inefficient).
• Don’t invest in melee units (generally ineffective).
• Don’t buy Demon Lord if you’re unsure:
  • Described as a mistake that can set players back ~10 hours.
• Don’t ignore guard/tank placement:
  • Main idea: guards protect the middle DPS, where most killing happens.
