Titanic Shell (auto bricks matches)

the title, very out of tune mob

Titanic Shell with the ES enemy team....I have never battled a more tanky monster in all of my PoE experience lol. And I am currently pumping out WAY MORE damage than I am "supposed to" at my current level.

Let's not stop at making it absurdly tanky...lets ALSO make it have a special effect that makes towers immortal while it's alive. durrrrrrrrrr

Definitely needs to be fixed spent 10 mins fighting that thing and still lost the match because your mobs dont attack the turtle

Yep, that turtle is an infuriating design, and anyone having played the mechanic for more than about 20 minutes will realize.
Makes me wonder if this was playtested at all.

You have beaten the titanic shell ? Pre-Patch ? Can I get your POB please :-) ?

Thanks.


Ooohhhh, do you even play the league? ... :-(

I mean, I've beat a team with 3 titanic shells on it so... it's not impossible. For any build, at any level.

I'd even say that it's not even HARD because a team with 3 Big Turtles on it has some pretty serious weaknesses. You just have to actually play the game, by which I mean "use literally any actual strategy and not just randomly click on things and hope for the best."

For instance: did you know that there's a unit which completely disables the turtle shield on totems?

Did you know that you can very easily kill the turtles with suicide bombers?

Did you know that the turtles are so insanely slow that you can just leap slam or flame dash past them at the start of the match and break their spawn totem before they can even turn around to stop you?

I mean, let's go even more basic: did you even realize that you can buy low level units/gear from one NPC and sell them to another, which is how you get enough favor to recruit Tier 3 units for your side? Or that you can look at the opponent's force distribution before the match starts, and then back out and go buy the exact units and gear you need to trivialize said match? I've gone AFK mid-match more than once and not lost a single tower.

Well, thats quite impressive. I didnt find any way to kill them, not to mention easily. (I didnt get a fight with them post patch.)

But, hey, I take your comment as a helpful hint. I'm sure that's what he meant. :-)

What unit is this? I would be very interested in using it.

How do you get suicide bombers to the back?
Turtles are usually positioned as defenders, from my experience, and the suicide bombers rarely make it to the back line.

The Blackbark... something. They're the Tier 3 Kaom unit, and they hard counter any defensive unit which puts buffs on allied totems (turtles and most of the other tribes' shamans).

Turtles are usually positioned as defenders, from my experience, and the suicide bombers rarely make it to the back line.

So, the 4 positions you assign warriors to control their AI in the game.

Flank units try to avoid enemy units and damage towers.
Attackers try to directly engage enemy units in combat.
Defenders work like attackers, but will redirect their aggro to anything currently channeling on a friendly totem.
Escort units follow YOU around and attack enemies and towers near your current location.

I almost always put as many suicide bombers as I can into escort positions, because this allows you to direct their focus to where it can have the most impact.
