Check playlist for team comp ideas, I think I've shown most combinations already, including s0 Coco and p2 40 Macchiato comps. Just gonna briefly go over new mechanics this season since I'm starting kinda late.

0:00 "when you suck" 2 sinner braindead 3.7m
Braindead comp can get horn break this season. Be sure to wait to spawn 1 or 2 golden bugs for the extra damage boost tiles, and throw Deren in first when throwing horn so she tanks for your throwaway unit. Someone with Soul Rift or Heartache and some core breaks is ideal of course.
2:41 No healer autoattack 14.1m
Phase 1:
Single target poison DoT hits like a truck, and is used as first attack, and again at around 2:32. We sacrifice Owo summon to it to enable healerless for this. I actually miss the 2nd bait in this recording and it takes off half of Owo's hp, almost all the damage she takes in this entire fight.
The red and blue auras do DoT until they stand next to each other and cancel out. Used at around 2:37 and 2:16. Tell is green aura while reeling back. Can use a break to interrupt one if you want to, but it's honestly not that dangerous.
Phase 2:
Immediately summons a slow orange bug at 2:05 that drops a large 3x3 orange aura on death. This aura debuffs you and is bad, just let it through to Chief and get it away from you if you want max damage. Alternatively, it does reduce that damage units in it take, so for non Owo teams where you don't need to huddle up around the tank, you can kill it somewhere to buff your tank.
Uses orange quake periodically. Just get out of the way when floor's an orange rectangle.
At around 1:44, it'll start casting orange tornado, a global aoe nuke. Use a core break to interrupt when you see it constipated with an orange lightning aura.
Will summon good orange bugs starting at around 1:22, when it spins around and gets a circular orange aura. These not orange (!!!!) bugs drop a small 1x1 orange aura (-_-) that makes anyone standing on it do more damage to boss. Kill as many as you want for how many dps you want to run, then break to get more last stand charges.
This break will also cause him to drop his orange horn onto the orange floor which also has an orange aura, not to be confused with the other 5 or 6 orange auras already prevalent in this fight. When someone moves over to stand on it, an orange circle will start filling up, after which the boss will go into a long ~35s break mode. DO NOT pick it up yet.
Phase 3:
Normal attack changes to a cross splash, be careful with unit placements around your tank.
Will periodically power up with yet another orange aura to show cores and summon rng black auras that do heavy DoT. Don't stand on them. The only one we're concerned with is the one at 0:48, and only cuz we want the break to get our final last stand charge. Break him at your convenience, and throw the horn before 0:35 and maul him. Note that throwing the horn counts as breaking the boss for triggering effects such as Tetra's crit boost and Heartache.
EDIT: Some additional reading on the very cursed "cored break mode" glitch, now available here:
