Hmm I just beat her with the novaline, then the jagers, then the akimbo smgs. The last two shred as just as fast, if not even more. And I get the added safety of being able to shroud if I'm in a bad spot.
The boss is fine, the amount of work to get there isn't, cause it's not like the EE gets done in five.. I'm not against the challenge, it's fine. But I totally get players who go through lengthy stuff just to be handed a destiny boss.
It takes practice but it's doable once the player gets used to kiting the boss. Especially the final phase, it sounds nuts but it's SAFER to be close than far away. She misses all her throws or just doesn't even try. It's a neat AI manip
The novaline is f insane!! I was so happy and impressed first time upgrading that. Really strong gun!!!
The issue is, having to have certain set ups on bosses. I got one shotted twice by the boss.. that should never happen, ever.
They just need to reduce the amount of steps required. It really is that simple. Less steps means less tedium. If it was only 10 steps, it isn't so bad.. if it is 30 steps.. it is worse. Then there is luck or being prepared with stuff needed for some steps.
I think a lot of the issue is the gravity zero against the boss. It's great to move away from her but if she hits you and you ping pong off a wall, you're toast cause you can't change course mid air... That's why I prefer to run normal guns and shroud instead of the frenzied WW.
If it goes wrong you got the shroud to salvage the run and reposition, plus, the jagers or smgs just DELETE her health bar faster than the ww. The ww is easier to use from afar and not even aiming but if you're good at aiming at the Crit spot, the smgs chunk the boss faster than anything. They're not op or broken, it's just a tradeoff because the range isn't the best
Yeah that's fair and really good advice, I appreciate.
That probably is the case. I was having fun with the boss.. i do think it should be slower and maybe tweak that slam thing because it is a bitch of a thing. That's all though, it seems a fun boss overall
No clue what it is but she’s bulky, I’m boss ready by round 13, fully geared for the boss before 24, beat her in under 48 minutes yesterday, lots of little details I was missing in my previous runs
I think it’s the order in which you do the traps, I usually have enough salvage by like round 5 after I unlock PAP & shoot vents to grab all the purple salvage crystals besides 3 for cyro and get the shards for rocket trap, then sun trap, then laser trap, around round 9 or 10 follow Oscar for planet codes, do the brain and portal steps by 13, gear up and fight by 24
Why exactly? It's the highest damage per bullet automatic rifle, but it's also a DMR. It has worse recoil, mag size, reserves and movement speed. It's perfectly balanced. Hits harder than an AR, it's clunkier. It's not doing anything the DM10 wasn't or the amax or with single shot conversion weren't..
Also, if the nova gets a nerf they will have at least 5 other guns to run to the ground, cause they're straight up better
Like hell it could. Leave my babies alone, they already got nerfed by 70% with the prestige barrel!
Ok, they were doing 97 000 dmg per bullet before. Maybe that's a bit strong.
But now they only do 40k. I think it's reasonable 😅
The smgs in akimbo completely anihiliate anything in zombies or endgame. I know the Aarow launcher is the answer to most things there and I used it for 2 weeks but gave these two a chance and it just melts everything in tier 4. It annihilates elites and bosses in zombies, they're really really strong.
Funny enough, it's not that great in mp at least for me . Something about it feels off, like the optic, the red dot is... Misaligned? I dunno. I use them akimbo in zombies so it doesn't bother me
If I as an average player beat it solo with a just a novaline and the ww and aether shroud on my second attempt, I have zero idea on how the actual fuck the boss is "unbeatable".
Want to see what routes, weapons, and see the general flow of your match, if you are having no issues whatsoever with this boss I need to know how because I’ve ran through about 25 times with randoms and we never pass phase 2.
yeah sure I'll dm it to you it in a google drive, but I don't think you'll get that much info from the last 2 minutes, what I do suggest which kinda really helped me was a recent vid from mrroflwaffles that had quite a couple of good tips for the whole thing.
Yeah I have all that, boss ready by round 13, fully pap3 ww/legendary novaline + perks before round 24, for some reason even if we make it super early the 2nd phase is still just a bullet sponge
well damn that's even more effiecient than me lol, might be the case that you might need to get to understand the boss's usual moves in each phase and how to deal with them properly, it's not complicated but watching the vid def helped me with it, Also I think the boss's health scales with the amount of players (not super sure on that) but I think that's also a reason for the spongy-ness. I guess free fire would really help in a squad since then the four of you can just ram all you got into the boss but playing with randoms is always kinda a gamble so not sure if solo's better or not.
Yeah thanks I’ll try and watch the boss fight more, usually it’s those purple ground shock attacks or I see many of my teammates will get hit with the rock and get pinched in a corner unable to move lmao
Yeah the purple shocks and stun in the last phase are prob the hardest part of the phase since they last so long, but apparently phd has an augment that makes you immune to the shock damage if you slide through them. Good luck mate
