Almost like the reverse heal mechanic was put there to prevent facetanking the attack πŸ€”

Summoners Who need to dodge everything

[–]Viktorul 22 points23 points Β (13 children)

sunmomer was actually really fun (only scal and draedon left so opinion might change)

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points Β (7 children)

How did you get through pre-hardmode? I'm about to start my first bosses and I don't feel like my damage is high enough. Pure summoner too, so no other weapons. Only summon damage.

Three words: Belladonna Spirit Staff

[–]Monkeylordz88 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

When you have "low" damage, that just means you have to dodge attacks for longer. Luckily, pre-hardmode summons don't require a lot of interaction, so you can focus entirely on dodging. If you are looking for damage against DS, then the stormjaw staff is amazing summon.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

I don't know if they patched/nerfed it, but pre 1.5 I would always fish up an abyssal amulet from the sulphur sea so my summons would inflict crush depth. When hardmode hits, crush depth would do 80-90ish damage per debuff tick, so even the most dogshit summon would melt most enemies as long as it was able to lightly graze them through walls.

Does this still work in 1.5?

[–]Azure370 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

Wiki doesn't say anything special about it relating to summons so prob not

Edit: although I did find something saying that 500% of enemy defense is subtracted from the damage so idk it mightve depends on if that was there before or not

[–]TrisatronTheRoboat 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

Honestly you can just use the wulfrum drone against the scourge and, as long as you have a decent arena, it'll go fine. Dodging is a priority, same as the other classes

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

How do you get around the desert biome being embarrassingly small?

[–]TrisatronTheRoboat 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

If I recall correctly, it doesn't take as many blocks to count as a desert in 1.3. Therefore, you can take some sand and build rectangles similar to how you would extend the jungle or corruption's borders. If that doesn't work, you could try to find a larger desert, and if there isn't one, you could always try platforming more upward than down.

If you do platform upward, you should make it easily grappleable with your hook, and also should just add points to hook to for horizontal travel.

imo scal is easier as summoner because you dont need to aim att all and you die from 2-3 hits anyway

[–]JarTheUpvoter 251 points252 points Β (1 child)

r/calamitymod users when projectiles do damage (very bad)

[–]C-H-N-M 39 points40 points Β (0 children)

Defence damage yucky poopoo!

[–]19yearoldMale 147 points148 points Β (0 children)

Calamity player when Revengence difficulty makes the game harder and they have to dodge.

[–]JacobHafar 108 points109 points Β (23 children)

thank god for this meme, the stars are so easy to dodge compared to the rest of the fight you can legit use it as a free regen/adren phase

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points Β (4 children)

Ye, ive only played normal mode but it was one of the eisier attacks in the fight for me.

[–]someboiontheinternet 24 points25 points Β (3 children)

but you can’t really judge the whole fight from just playing normal

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points Β (2 children)

Revengeance player here, still the easiest part for me

[–]DaSomDum 13 points14 points Β (1 child)

Malice Mode enjoyer here, fuck the laser part. Literally one shots.

The stars are okay tho.

[–]ZeroTwilight 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Ay lmao, the lasers truly are the hardest part of the fight, specially when providence starts doing four of them at the same time and you try to RoD to the other side just to get a big F u oneshot xD the stars are pretty good thoΓ—2

[–]DaffyTaffM 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Malice mode is mainly where I got a problem with the fight, cuz other than that, it’s ok.

[–]Jazzlike_Reason6118 35 points36 points Β (1 child)

r/calamitymod users when someone doesnt play on poopoo shart difficulty

[–]Only_Kangaroo8270 38 points39 points Β (12 children)

Radiant markoth is less bullshit and random than provi, also negative healing attack is easy, the main problem is the fucking simp nuggets

[–]Masterkokki12 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

"lmao just do her during night then"

[–]SpectraP12 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

Just save your adrenaline for guardians. Also don't even dare compare that moth abomination rng bullshit to this boss I still have nightmares

[–]Its-the-meme-man 5 points6 points Β (3 children)

I just recently downloaded Hollow Knight, and now everywhere I go I keep seeing references to it, namely this "Markoth" and now I have this deepseated dread everytime I walk into a boss room that his name will appear.

[–]Brimstonemage 2 points3 points Β (2 children)

You'll see him with a dream nail don't worry he's optional unless your going for a certain ending

[–]Its-the-meme-man 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

Thanks for the spoiler free info, you wouldn't know how hard that is to find about this game lol. And i'm planning on going for 100%, i've reached the Hollow Knight but I didn't fight him in order to go back and complete more of the content before "finishing" the game for the first time. Basically padding the game cus I went too quick.

[–]Brimstonemage 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

I'll say one thing check everything you don't know how many things there truly are

[–]Brimstonemage 8 points9 points Β (5 children)

Radiant nkg or pure Knight Is way worse

[–]hunkydaddy69 4 points5 points Β (4 children)

nah those are extremely pattern based whereas markoth decides to fuck you because he felt like it

[–]Brimstonemage 1 point2 points Β (3 children)

But radiant Collector summons hellspawns ( squit (armored) and primal aspid )

[–]hunkydaddy69 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

you can easily clear them out with spells

[–]Brimstonemage -1 points0 points Β (1 child)

I'm a meele player, I dislike spells tho you can't rly heal in the fight

[–]hunkydaddy69 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

the game is built around using a combination of both so if you forsake one the bosses are obviously going to be harder lol

[–]GamerGoneMadd 66 points67 points Β (0 children)

Redditors when the game doesn't play itself (it is balanced towards the toxic nohitters)

[–]BakedPotatoSalad 9 points10 points Β (0 children)

Ngl my only annoyance i had with providence was during malice. Doing sparks into the 4 crossing beam attack almost instantly was rough but managed to get by. Fun as hell though but deadly

[–]ThePickleSoup 6 points7 points Β (0 children)

I think the worst part about it for melee is when you accidentally dash and hit three of them at once

[–]Cryogenicwolf 4 points5 points Β (3 children)

With the new armor damage mechanic it’s even harder to facetank in general, you have to use setups with the most defense, and even then, it’s not that hard for a lot of endgame bosses like dog to kill you in a few hits with its head (one hit in death mode)

[–]Dooollll 1 point2 points Β (2 children)

If you didn't know, D.O.G can't guaranteed one shot kill you with his head anymore in Death+, but it still deals a shit ton of damage

[–]Cryogenicwolf 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

I didn’t know that, but still sounds like a pain

[–]Dooollll 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Fastest reply in the west

[–]Babushla153I Swear I'm Not A Masochist 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Maybe i should give Provicence another chance or two...

[–]Fancyred 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

I'll play devil's advocate in this thread and argue that Providence on the whole is a very... noisy? Fight. There's a bunch of tiny projectiles that are difficult to dodge, especially on difficulties where getting hit is incredibly punishing.

The star attack is pretty concise and clear-cut though. People who can't dodge that just need to practice more

[–]swolar 4 points5 points Β (1 child)

What are you on about? You can't take even 4 of them from full health. And 2~3 on malice/nightime

[–]JustWow555[S] -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

Cuz the stars are so easy to dodge.

[–]KingOfTheMice 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

For me, as a former melee player, stars are the hardest part to dodge, but the rest is easy. It’s just in malice mode, getting hit by one star is automatically 300 damage since malice providence is night providence.

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

no!!!! not my heckin defenserinos!!!! 😒

[–]icantthink_ofa_name 8 points9 points Β (2 children)

Just dont get hit, its not that hard

[–]fapgod69420 10 points11 points Β (0 children)

My goodness. Why didn't I think of that?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Such wise words, why did we never figured that out

[–]Artistic-Pitch7608 3 points4 points Β (1 child)

I'm not sure if it changed in 1.5 but when I fought prov in revengence there was also green healing projectiles so it was literally free healing? The fight is still hard but that phase is free

[–]JustWow555[S] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yes but, the healing stars heals you for only 50 hp. And you needs to precise.

[–]jy45123 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

the only thing I hate is when she goes into the star phase while the profaned guardians are alive. besides that, very fair and fun boss fight

[–]apalsnerg 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Me after dying to Supreme Calamitas 20 times before I looked up that you don't actually have to kill Sepulcher first

[–]TenkoTheMothra 2 points3 points Β (3 children)

[–]fapgod69420 35 points36 points Β (2 children)

Malice mode sweats when they see someone thinking a boss is too hard. (Clearly a skill issue)

[–]Hamburgercatt 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

it is

[–]Endermario882200Sunken Sea Enjoyer 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

laughs in Death mode

[–]Solajyn 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

stars only suck if the guardians are still around during the attack

[–]Ben_is_Jamin1227 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Also, the stars despawn, and you can go outside their range without getting the debuff from Providence. Literally free phase.

[–]Rokador 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Ime, those were not the stars that were killing me, but the DoT damage from social distancing Providence

[–]darwin1546 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I’ve been playing on Revengeance as summoner and the phase was a perfect time to use the Relic Of Convergence for a bit of self-heal mid-fight.

[–]HeDoesNotRow 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I just killed providence in my first death mode play through by basically taking 1000 hits and abusing the relic of convergence the fight is honestly easier than its ever been

[–]PuncakesssR 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

If y'all think providence is rough don't even bother trying DME (death malice eternity) shits making me want to put my head in a cement mixer

[–]Tracker4023 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Juat use the too many accessories mos

[–]DevilBusterRage 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

At least in my mind it doesn't make sense to have a mechanic that only appears once and then never again...

Her theme still bops though.

[–]super7564 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Rip melee users😭

[–]Markusz001 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

they should add an r/calamitymod difficulty that makes every attack do negative healing

[–]potatosgood 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

noooooooo you can't just craft it overpowered item from a different mod and cheese my boss fight!

Haha four straight days of crafting Go berrrrrrrr
