Generally, the bosses will have high protection stat so Shieldbreaker’s Pierce and Grave Robber’s Pick to the Face will bypass the modifier entirely. Quick note, the Miller boss is practically immune to Bleed but very susceptible to Blight. Still, remember that Lighting will change, so cover your bases by having at least one party member with Blight skills. In team-comp consider leaning slightly more towards Bleed as plenty of enemies will have hefty Blight resistances. Skills with Bleed and Blight effects will be exceptionally useful when dealing with them, as damage over time spells shouldn’t leave corpses behind. They’re particularly pesky during the final boss encounter so resort to AoE spells like Plague Doctor’s Noxious Blast to clear them ASAP. And two - which is no less important - is the fact that if left untouched Crystalline Aberrations will explode dealing damage to the party, potentially ending the run prematurely.

One is that it will restore health to the party member that lands the killing blow. There are two good reasons to destroy them as soon as possible. Crystalline Aberrations are husks left behind after an enemy has been slain.
