So, I finally feel pretty comfortable giving my thoughts on Queen Slime & decided I wanted to see other opinions on the matter; but first, let me get a few things out of the way.
These are a few common, but scarce opinions I've been hearing about this Boss that I don't necessarily agree with. Keep in mind, this was me trying to shy away from spoilers at the time, but I'm okay with hearing them now. Share whatever obscure info you have here, I'd greatly appreciate any & all of it~!
I'm not sure where the majority of you stand with this, as I said earlier, these were scarce, but pretty consistent opinions I've seen & heard about this Boss. I guess I'll open up with the many reasons I strongly disagree with this assessment & then ask you all several or more questions that might help me understand this opinion/ POV (if most of you agree), as I might be missing something.

- Queen Slime's loot is trash, in relation to her difficulty. 🗑
- By the time it makes sense to fight Queen Slime (power-level wise), her items are already irrelevant.

- I find this Boss to be maybe slightly tougher than The Twins, but I could certainly beat her without using a Mount, if that means anything (so, I guess they're about even in my eyes).
- I didn't consider her defense at the time (26+ Master Mode), but I was also using a combination of Blade Staff Minions & Twins as a Summoner (which ignores some defense).
- From my experience, I'd say that Queen Slime is an alternative to the Mech Bosses, as I believe their loot tier is about the same (correct me if I'm wrong)?
- Her Armor Set, according to the Wiki, has +36 defense, +15% damage, +15% critical chance, +25% movement speed total.
- The Hook of Dissonance is obnoxiously good! That item alone is worth fighting her IMHO, especially if you can't get/ haven't gotten a RoD just yet.
- Volatile Gelatin is like having free additional Minions, playing as a Summoner, it was extremely helpful clearing out the OOA Event (Master Mode).
- She also, basically gives you an upgraded version of the Slime Mount. That's pretty good by default.
