The Final Battle at the Climax of the Arc​

The final battle usually pits the protagonist against the main antagonist at the climax of the story. Their fight usually determines the overall direction of the story and even serves as a turning point.

My question is, what do you expect from the final battle between the protagonist and the antagonist (boss) at the climax of the arc?

Note:
At the time of this thread, I was writing the final chapters of the final battle arc that will conclude volume 2. So, your answers might help me write better battle scenes.

Thank you for your answers. Best regards.

Villian: I'll destroy everything you loved!
Hero: But I have nothing.
Villain: Then I'll destroy the world—
Hero: Sure, whatever. Let's just skip to the part where I kick your reptilian ass.

(The villain kicks his human ass instead.)

I once made the mistake of making it way too intense and epic. Don’t do that. It makes every battle after it feel weak because the choreography and stakes just don’t compare.

No scene can ever be too epic. The only thing from there, is just to make the ending battle for every subsequent book as epic, if not more.

I expect raw emotions to come out, and an epic battle with insane moves that makes me go 'Ooohh!'.
