This article explains the Chick Chan boss fight in Windrose: Strategy, including the exact steps to reach and defeat him, and the role of the Prophets in that fight. You will learn the recommended team composition, the boss’s attack patterns, and the specific sequence of actions that triggers the Prophets’ steps, which are essential for a clean victory.

Background: Who Is Chick Chan?

Chick Chan is a mid-to-late game boss in Windrose: Strategy, appearing in the main story campaign and the recurring “Chick’s Revenge” event. He is a large, armored chicken mech piloted by a rogue AI, known for his high physical defense and a devastating area-of-effect peck attack. Unlike regular bosses, Chick Chan has a hidden mechanic tied to the Prophets—four statues scattered around the arena that, when activated in the correct order, temporarily disable his shield and expose a critical weak point.

The Prophets’ Steps: What They Are

The Prophets’ Steps are a sequence of four floor panels, each marked with a glowing rune corresponding to a Prophet statue (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water). During the fight, Chick Chan periodically summons a shield that reduces all damage by 90%. To break this shield, you must step on the panels in the order shown by the statues’ eyes—the statues light up in a random sequence at the start of each shield phase. The correct order is always displayed for 3 seconds before the shield activates. If you step on the wrong panel, the shield resets and the sequence changes.

How the Boss Fight Works

The fight has three phases, each with distinct mechanics:

Phase 1 (100%-70% HP): Chick Chan uses single-target pecks and a charge attack. No shield is active. Focus on damaging him while dodging the telegraphed charge.
Phase 2 (70%-30% HP): The Prophets’ Steps mechanic activates. Every 20 seconds, Chick Chan gains a shield and the statues light up. You have 10 seconds to step on all four panels in the correct order. Success removes the shield and stuns him for 5 seconds.
Phase 3 (30%-0% HP): Chick Chan enrages, increasing his attack speed by 50%. The shield appears every 15 seconds, and the sequence is displayed for only 2 seconds. You must also avoid the falling debris that appears in random locations.

Step-by-Step Strategy for the Prophets’ Steps

To consistently clear the Prophets’ Steps, follow this exact sequence:

Watch the statues when the boss raises his wings (the shield telegraph). Note the order of the glowing runes.
Move to the first panel (the one that lit up first) and stand on it for 1 second until it flashes.
Move to the second panel immediately, then the third, then the fourth. Do not skip or repeat any panel.
After the fourth panel, the shield breaks and the boss is stunned. Use your ultimate skills during this window.
If you fail, the boss heals for 5% of his max HP and the sequence resets. Re-watch the statues and try again.

In Phase 3, the sequence is faster, so it helps to assign one hero to each panel if playing co-op, or to memorize the order by calling it out (e.g., “Wind, Fire, Earth, Water”).

Recommended Team Composition

To survive the fight and execute the steps, your team should include:

Tank: A hero with a taunt skill to keep Chick Chan’s attention away from your damage dealers.
Healer: A support hero with a group heal, as the boss’s AoE peck can hit multiple heroes.
Two damage dealers: Ideally one with armor penetration (for the shielded phases) and one with burst damage (for the stun window).
Optional controller: A hero with a stun or slow to interrupt the charge attack in Phase 1.

A common mistake is bringing a full DPS team; without a healer, you will not survive the enrage phase. Also, avoid using auto-battle, as the AI does not step on the panels correctly.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Players often fail the Prophets’ Steps for three reasons:

Standing on the panel too long: You only need to touch the panel for a brief moment. Standing on it for more than 2 seconds does not help and wastes time.
Ignoring the statues during Phase 1: The statues also light up randomly during Phase 1, but they are not needed. Some players memorize a wrong order from Phase 1 and use it in Phase 2.
Using AoE skills when the shield is up: Damage dealt to the shield does not count toward breaking it. Only the panel steps work.

If you keep failing, try lowering the game’s graphics settings to reduce lag, as the sequence display can be missed if the game stutters.

Rewards and Why It Matters

Defeating Chick Chan on the first try grants a bonus chest containing a random Prophet’s Rune, which is used to upgrade the Prophets’ statues in your base. The rune increases your global attack power by 2% per level. Additionally, completing the fight without any hero falling unlocks the “Step Master” achievement, which gives a title and 100 gems. The boss also drops a unique equipment piece, the “Feathered Crown,” which has a chance to reflect 10% of melee damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct order for the Prophets’ Steps?

The order is random each time the shield activates. You must watch the four statues light up in sequence at the start of the shield phase. The first statue to light up is the first panel, the second is the second panel, and so on. There is no fixed order; it changes every 20 seconds in Phase 2 and every 15 seconds in Phase 3.

Can I skip the Prophets’ Steps and just break the shield with damage?

No. The shield is immune to all damage. Only stepping on the panels in the correct order removes it. Even a team with extremely high power cannot brute-force the shield; the mechanic is mandatory.

How do I survive the enrage phase in Phase 3?

Use your healer’s ultimate right after the boss enrages, and keep moving to avoid the falling debris. Save your tank’s taunt for when the boss uses his charge, and use your burst damage only during the stun window after the shield breaks. Also, consider equipping heroes with the “Stone Skin” set to reduce physical damage.

Does the fight difficulty scale with my team power?

No, the boss’s stats are fixed for each difficulty level (Normal, Hard, Nightmare). However, the Prophets’ Steps sequence display time is shorter on higher difficulties. On Nightmare, the sequence is shown for only 1.5 seconds, so you need to memorize it quickly or have one player call it out.

What happens if I fail the Prophets’ Steps multiple times?

Each failure heals Chick Chan for 5% of his max HP and resets the sequence. There is no limit to the number of failures, but the boss also gains a 5% attack speed buff per failure, stacking up to 10 times. After 10 failures, the boss becomes nearly impossible to defeat, so it is better to retreat and restart the fight than to continue.

Is there a way to practice the Prophets’ Steps outside the boss fight?

Yes, the game’s training room has a “Boss Practice” mode where you can fight a dummy version of Chick Chan without rewards. This mode has the same mechanics but no time limit on the sequence display. It is a good place to learn the panel positions and practice moving between them.
