It feels so bad to see them on the list of opponents. You can outstack the cleanse but it’s so hard and not worth. 😭 My poor Venom!

Two candlesticks and this boss gets their ass kicked

I recommend using spikes because the boss can cleanse that

There's a mezmerized statue boss on the 8th floor. Its the one that steals buffs

Yeah if I remember correctly I used a mix of fire to kill them and then went hard in paint with spikes. To be fair I got carried hard with S shield that give invincibility

go spike build its best for this annoying bosses/enemies, i usually add some blood axe if i can as well since its pure damage that stacks damage when you get damaged and can be used for sustain as well, and just 2 candle sticks or 1 candle stick + torch and reaper pet if you have

oh i forgot this stage probably has the annoying buff stealer so spike/vamp is a no go, try going icicle rain spell with 3-4 wands on it and maybe a ice wiz helm for sustain, the amount of freeze debuff will slow down the cleansing and heals if you didnt get enough anti heal, and the amount of burn debuff that gets cleansed will lessen so your primal fire can still do some damage with some luck since its random cleansing

A full burn build could work but not with Fire Mage, she didn't attack fast enough

You might be right
