Yeah I meant crusader ( say sader a lot in other games with crusader) .It's possible since it's how this game is sometimes. I didn't really think about shadow cloak or crisis escape which would work. I do know I did try to run away to outrange the silence and it failed me in which he proceeded to blow me up with judgement blades. It's even more annoying that you get spammed with the hints even if you succeed which can make you think there is more to the fight than just defending against the 1 shot. I was just checking his attacks and trying to find a way to counter them until I finally just said screw it and started doing damage which turned out I was supposed to.@dowie sader locked??? Do you mean crusader?
Also you could be expierencing some really bad displacement, I know people who live in over seas servers have it the roughest since timing is key for this gen, but you can use crisis escape and shadow cloak like said @Veylaine said to wait out the Crusader Silence.
Also if you're not having displacement anchor rushes I-frame is another good trick to use.
Hmph. The boss is genuinly bad design. You don't add something that literally disables your one and only ability to protect yourself fom a instant kill.
And not even tell you about it BEFORE you're dead.
I died at the very beginning of the mission, because I wasn't exactly told what to do. The obscure message system didn't appear before I died.
*Dies*
"Yeah uh, you need to use that shield shill, by the way. And preferably after the sword lands, because that thing that kills you? It's not the sword, but that red mist that comes after your shield disspates. So. Yeah ok good luck chap~"
Facetanking any content is stupid. No one's arguing that.
But turning a boss into a damn sponge with nothing to show isn't a good design choice either. Any critique would argue the same.
And adding a very obscure way of beating it with hints that doesn't work properly is a even worse design.
You're supposed to work your way and avoid obstacles by your own merrit, and overcome the challenges, through solving puzzles. Not, get stripped of your only way to survive an attack.
That said, I don't really need him nerfed. I just want them to stop being so obscure, and actually deliver the messages properly.
A white plain text with no border appearing for roughly 1 second before fading away is not helping anyone.
If you're talking about talvish you have to kite him being too close to him puts you in range for his 30 sec crusader skill silence unless you get lucky and his AI becomes dumb you will get hit by that silence. Using aggro drops like crisis escape and shadow cloak help along with keeping the distance.
EDIT: but I do agree that they should of been a little more blatant with how to fight them if you crit or got distracted for like a sec you miss the white message that tells you what to do
*Arguably easy Generation comes out* "UGGGGH I wish devCAT would give us any sort of CHALLENGE"
*Arguably hard Generation comes out* "UGGGGH I wish devCAT would stop making things soo hard"
Cool to know that's still an issue with the community here.
Use some actual damage mitigation strategies if you're getting one shot: defense with a shield does absolute wonders with most of the attacks. Switch to Neanheim demi-god for that extra damage buffer if you have to.
Watch and learn visual cues of the bosses, because they sure as heck have some really long animations that let you move out of their attack range. If you're noticing you're still getting hit by an AoE, trying walking behind the monster instead of away from it: a few of their attacks are front facing only.
And actually read the white text pop ups that give hints to you on how to beat stuff instead of trying to face roll this content.
