D&D 5E Tiamat?

[MonsterEnvy]

As the Rise of Tiamat is being early released tomorrow. I have a question for anyone that may have gotten it early. What is Tiamat's Challenge rating and how strong would you say she is?

 

[Boarstorm]

I'm hoping she's at least at 25. Maybe a 28. We'll know tomorrow, I suppose.

Fortunately Tiamat will do stupid things to try and kill Venger, so a straight up fight will rarely be necessary...

I hope deities won't have stats in 5e, just like in 2e. If they must I hope way beyond CR30.

That said, I doubt that Tiamat will be an encounter in this adventure path either way. It only goes to level 15 and even if they again stat deities, I really doubt it will be CR15

I think at best the adventure will end with a battle against her avatar or aspect

I'm anxious to see Tiamat 5E stats, but I think facing her in battlefield it will be 80%+ chance of TPK. The thing is to don't let her comes alive from the nive hells...

I dont have the book so just thoughts...

But I bet the party needs to make friends. Those allies fight the other heads, while the PCs take down one head. At least that's my guess, cuz that's how i'd write it.

She is CR 30.
