So, I just decided to try fighting the tank again after my last post about it. Tried to make use of all the advice I’d gotten to see if it’d be any less frustrating.
Took the Phenmor as my primary, brought Jade for flight, made a new preset on my Corufell as a fallback, and… forgot about Primary Sure-Footed. The Phenmor was OK for breaking the weak points but not great. Maybe the Felarx or Corinth Prime would’ve been better.
I tried jumping more and even riding the tank. It kind of worked but I still didn’t like it. I think subsequent times I’ll just default to cheese weapons like the Corufell. On that note does anyone have suggestions for improving my heavy-attack spam build? I’m only ever going to use it against the tank, already I’m doubting Life Strike’s usefulness here.
Use try either Sampotes or the Sancti Magistar for the boss. https://i.imgur.com/nrBEgMJ.png
Gladiator Might can be swapped for Corrupt Charge if you prefer having some minimum initial combo before Galvanized Reflex starts adding up/higher maximum combo when spamming heavy slams.
Doesn’t really matter if you use Sacrificial or Primed Pressure Point, just whatever your forma allows. Sampotes seemed to hit ahead instead of radially so you might need to slam next to the tank if you pick that weapon.
In phase 1, I think the rocket launchers will take out a full phase, might be easier to get one to use on the tank after breaking the weak points than it is to heavy slam until the boss is dead.
Use the Incarnon Latron for armor strip. Pistol is up to you, Secondary fortifier might be helpful.
Use specters to draw agro before starting the boss fight, they can’t be summoned after the boss has spawned in on hard mode. People have mentioned Dante/Jade being good specters, haven’t tried them myself.
Use a sentinel with Sacrifice for a chance at getting revived. Unfortunately when solo, it feels like cheese builds are a requirement, especially with all of the nullifying and damage attenuation.
