What is the effect of familiars in Sir Leopold’s raid?

Question

On August 19th 2025, Cipsoft released a piece of news informing the players that Sir Leopold has been buffed and hinted at familiars having some type of impact ("Just a small hint: Sir Leopold doesn't seem to like it when there are too many different familiars in the room..."

I'm wondering if someone has had the chance to test how many is considered 'too many'? Does 'many different familiar' mean at least one summon from each of the 5 vocations or does it mean familiars from multiple different players? What is the effect of (too many) familiars during the raid?

Answer 1

He gains more mitigation if there are many familiars in his room, prolonging the battle for longer.

Could you explain how you got to that answer? Because since the boss itself was reworked, how would one know what was the effect of familiars in the room vs boss having "more HP, better armour (...) and healing" as Liamas stated? How many familiars did you have in your boss fight after rework? Did you have all 5 vocation familiars active in the boss room? Would appreciate if you could provide more detailed answer!
