HR Boss Drops + Rates
Even if a boss has artifacts in its pool, it may not currently drop them. See the table below this one for the drop rate per boss.
Boss Artifact Pools
Even though a boss may have a non-zero drop rate it may not have artifacts in its pool. See the above table to make sure the boss actually has drops in its pool.
Boss Artifact Drop Rates - Per Artifact rates are uniform so the "Per roll rate" divided by the number of Artifacts in the boss' pool is the specific rate for that artifact for each roll.
| Boss | Per roll rate | Per kill rate for at least 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Demon Overseer | 1% | ~3% |
| Frost Wyvern | 1% | ~3% |
| Magma Wyvern | 1% | ~3% |
