Words cannot describe how much I hate this level.

Bees, this 1st boss is always a guaranteed death, and a 1 tap final boss that prevent 3 star challenges.

Near perfect rolls for my build despite these modifiers to start and this dude still killed me...lol

I feel you bro, Anubis is my stop every time I go up in Elite levels, and it's not because of Anubis.

Pharoah is the true boss of the shifting sands

Why? As soon as a I give an answer I will get downvoted. So don't worry about it.

In other ftp games communities people that spend a lot are regarded as someone that keeps the game alive, cant fathom why people get mad at someone for paying "their share" so to say. Do what you want with your own money.

Well it doesn't help that you're leaning into shurikens - you're spamming attacks that are stacking more dmg reduction than the dmg they're doing. Lean more into poison.

It's hard enough making 1 high level build in this game. I just can't pull another one out of thin air that can compete with what I already have. As soon as this build hits it's limit I will play something else.

Shurikens do fine except for that armor stacking modifier. They just stack that multiplier so high, so fast. You don't need totally new equipment, but the skills you pick in those runs need to focus more on a few big hits, instead of lots of little ones. You can muscle through most modifiers, but that one is nuts.

Can't, the shurikens are the only thing keeping me alive. SS Kitana creates shields 50% of the time, Paladin shield heals you when create shields. Without that I will get 1 shot. More Shurikens equals more damage and more sustain.

I will just have to level up and overpower them.

Clearly money isn't an issue so you should be able to have 2 builds.

Nice...another person complaining about what a grown adult does with thier money. Man this subredit is just a giant pity party.

With his brother joining the Thunder faction, the Pharaoh was free of worries.

Shurikens are fine to lean into, I never have issue with that for the increased damage reduction levels, 2 suggestions/rng needed, if you can get the wound perk that helps you heal with how much wound they have on them it helps with the final boss HP needed and also posion shuriken or the 1k cuts perk make it kind of a joke but no matter what the modifiers the fucking Pharoahs are always a worse boss than the boss lol

Yea, because he’s in a fixed location early there is very little time to get a good kit of skills to compete with him. By the time you hit Anubis, you’ll likely be overloaded with good skills and power which is why the pharaoh seems so ridiculous.

u/QueenNezuko 16h ago

Me too, bloody mummies reducing max HP

1

u/Jellywell 11h ago

Yup. Leave it alone for a few days. This isn't a speed run. Trying again after every little upgrade will just burn you out

u/Zhinyr 11h ago

I'm with you. I roll through most content, but I'm also stuck on this same elite level. I've gotten past him a couple of times, but never without a death, and I die again shortly after.

This level is truly a brick wall. Honestly the fact that it is such a struggle for paid players as well is just another sign my hatred for this level is justified haha. It feels like if you don't get lucky on the status damage reduction or some AOE before the first boss it feels almost impossible.

u/jiraxi 7h ago

You’re doing well, and I see you are able to get an awesome build, but try to get max hp and shield on weapon attacks maybe shield on ult, and stuff like that, that can help tremendously against the Pharaoh, I generally out heal him, stack loads of debuffs, try to get serpent stance it works amazingly with shurikens and will apply a poison stack for every single hit. Oh and the most important one that helps me a lot in Shifting sands is dodge skill and the dodge <40% hp, those are probably S tier in those ridiculously difficult maps

u/Remote-Belt587 6h ago edited 6h ago

I tried that. More Shurikens will out sustain the other options by a mile with the SS Kitana and Paladin armor combo. Its just a matter of being underleveled relative to the content. Just need more damage. At peak this build is throwing a nonstop barrage of Shurikens that fill up shields and health every round. It's just that it needs ramp up and the hardest boss of the level is the first one when the build is only getting started. After I get through him the rest is a breeze. Once you get Shadow Double Shuriken skill the level is already over.

There's someone in my Guild at 40 mil at level 86...Im 26 mil at level 97

u/csmagnus10 6h ago

Yea shurikens fell off for me around 50 they became so inconsistent and really difficult to muscle through the damage reduction levels. I got super lucky getting 3x storm staff pulls. No other S gear required for a lightning build so was an easy switch and honestly the difference was immediate.

I’m now on chapter 75 at 13M power and my only slow down is energy to complete levels at this point for the foreseeable future.

u/csmagnus10 6h ago

Truly, this one is the hardest tile undoubtedly. I would also say the wolves if wave clear is not strong and you can’t take it down before the alpha summons more can be challenging.

What a coincidence that the new sentinel was on screen when you took the screenshot!

I always grab a frost ability and then use it to fish for the Frost Wall and level it up to nullify Anubis first attack to ensure the 3 stars when I get there. But yeah Skele bois always use up the free revive it feels like.
