General Discussion - Syndicate Mastermind - Has anyone killed him/her? Cause i just failed - Forum

" aldorus wrote: Can someone enlighten me - is the Mastermind boss a fixed level area, and if not, what influences the resulting level? Is that known? It has to do something with the area level you killed the syndicate or syndicate leaders but the exact formula well likely never be known. I fought MM at area level 82 and it was a slaugther. I had an easier time with shaper than MM. IGN: Arlianth Check out my LA build: 1782214	Posted by Nephalim#2731 on Dec 13, 2018, 2:45:13 AM Quote this Post

You can retry it 6 times and every time you can learn a bit more. YOU ONLY need 1 portal to learn the whole fight as every phase is identical with a bit of speed to the middle totem damage waves. I don't care where the term is used. The fight is literally about being good at moving around the arena and nothing more. I am a terrible player mechanically and I went in blind and killed her with 2 portal left. Died 4 times likea noob not knowing what the hell I'm doing until I figured out the dance. It's a simple dance you have to do: 1. Damage her. 2. Kill add. 3. Damage her. 4. Drain totem behind add. 5. Damage her. 6. Repeat 1-5 3x while moving between lanes to avoid the pulse wave of death and NOT standing in the areas you draind a totem (massive degen). 7. Damage her dead and loot your unique. To make it easy YOU even get under your character an arrow (exactly the same as in Catarina missions of the past) pointing at the totem you have to drain. It is a pure mechanical fight and nothing more. Git gud fits perfectly. "Never argue with an idiot. They will take you down to their level and beat you trough experience."

I didnt even noticed the arrow marker and just ran around in circles (avoiding AOE, range attacks), like a chicken. I guess that small detail is what makes this fight bearable.

I guess that small detail is what makes this fight bearable. It is just a visual aid. It will always be the totem behind the add you just killed. What she does is take the soul of that add and empower the totem or some kind of fuckery like that :) "Never argue with an idiot.
