Expedition is a brand new hunt in Epic Seven mobile. In it, players fight three exclusive bosses for unique rewards, which you'll definitely want to get your hands on. This guide will provide you with essential tips on how to defeat all Expedition bosses as quickly as possible.
To unlock the Expedition Hunt, you must first complete Expedition Hunt 8. Then you can enter the Expedition Hunt through a lobby and tap the Garo Expedition icon.
All three bosses (Blooming Snag Lich, Hopeless Symaqus, and Brutal Pherus) use anomalous atmosphere, which:
- Resets all ability cooldowns on turn 11
- Deals 60%/70%/80% more damage to units weak to Ice, Fire and Earth
- Bosses receive 50% more damage from Ice, Fire, and Earth elements
Each boss also has a set of their own unique attacks and elemental resistances, which you need to target with the right team composition.
How to beat the blooming lich
The first boss is the earth element monster Blooming Snag Lich, who resides in the Frustration Swamp. Guns are the best weapons to use against Blooming Snag Lich, which has the following attacks:
- Soul Divide – Hits a unit twice if the unit's health is below 50%
- Soul Exploit – Hits all units and inflicts poison status effect
- Hell's Gate – Dispels all buffs and inflicts neurotoxin
- Depletes each unit's HP by 90%
The best team composition to beat Blooming Snag Lich includes:
- Strong DPS characters, such as Kayron, Charlotte, and Fire Mercedes
- Hard-hitting characters like Tamarinne, Violin Mage, and Ras (with attack buffs)
- Shield bearers like Lilias can be used as effective front line defense units
How to Defeat Desperate Symaqus
The second boss is an ice element monster called Hopeless Symaqus. It is located in the Black Shroud forest. Earth element weapons deal 50% more damage to Hopeless Symaqus than other weapons.
Hopeless Symaqus has a number of diverse attacks that focus on both magic casters and DPS attackers:
- Devil's Arm – Focuses all of its power on frontline units.
- Put the knights in front, as they are better protected against this type of damage.
- Frenzied Attack (AoE) – Removes all magic caster buffs
- Standardized Destruction – Inflicts Bleed and Fatigue status effects on a unit with the highest attack
- Makes your best unit useless for at least one turn
The best team composition to beat Hopeless Symaqus includes:
- Characters better equipped against fatigue, such as Green Lots and Tamarinne
- Healers like Celestine, who can help you resist AoE attacks from Hopeless Symaqus
- DPS characters like Destina, who can defend your front line.
How to defeat Brutal Pherus
The third and final boss, Brutal Pherus, is the toughest of the bunch. It is a fire element monster located in Regret Wilds. It is mainly weak to ice elemental damage.
This boss has more unique attacks:
- Stance Change – Attacks and critical hits are increased while in offensive stance
- Lost after six consecutive hits by your team
- Ambush – Attacks your front row units
- 60% increase in defense penetration
- Flurry – Attacks all of your units at once
- Decreases all your units' buffs for at least one turn
- Shred – Inflicts Silence status on all your units
- You cannot use any moves with a cooldown
Such a powerful enemy requires an even more powerful team composition than before:
- Units that will be able to attack regardless of Brutal Pherus' offensive posture, such as Lorine and Cerise
- Characters that have multi-hit attacks, like Alexa
- High recovery rate healers, such as Celestine
- Characters with strong passive abilities, like Lena and Dizzy, that can counter Brutal Pherus' silence effect

Once all three bosses have been defeated, you will receive the following rewards:
- Reforge Materials

That's all you need to know to defeat all expedition hunt bosses in Epic Seven.
