SuperbossReport

English:Superboss · Game Mechanics

The English wiki's name for the hardest tier of bosses. The test is combat stats mostly at 80 or 90 and above, usually with a world state and a bounty attached. Twelve characters carry the label.

Superboss is not a term the game uses. It is a sub-category the English wiki carved out under Bosses for the most dangerous characters in Kenshi. The wiki gives three tests: most or all combat stats above 80 or 90, usually one or more world states attached, and usually a bounty. The last two are not universal.

Twelve of them.

Why the label is worth knowing

Killing or capturing these characters generally rewrites the map. The world states tied to them drive town overrides and wilderness spawns, so in practice "is this a superboss" means "does removing them change the world".

NoteThe English wiki's Superbosses category is tagged as a candidate for deletion because it overlaps with Bosses. The tier does not exist in the game files. This site keeps it only because it happens to fence off the characters whose removal changes the world.
