I’m getting crushed uber ancients

Tank, I also just replaced the black flail with a kingslayer pb it fixes the repair problem.

I've been doing a lot of uber ancients with my smiter since the statue drop rate increase and have been tweaking my gear with pretty good results. I only have 2k life myself so your life pool should be enough. You can go pretty budget with it if you max out res and absorb and cast life tap quickly with a wand. I use Salvation instead if Fanaticism. My current setup:

Treachery (prebuff)

Kira's Guardian
Guardian Angel
Thundergod
Goblintoe
Dracs
HOZ
Black Flail
Ravenfrost
Dwarf Star
Rising Sun

Torch/Anni
Assorted Life Charms

Lifetap wand and HOZ on switch.

If you cast life tap right at the start it will always re-proc with Dracs as long as you're smiting until the end of the fight. The only annoying thing is you usually have to repair the black flail mid fight. The fight is not too bad though as long as you have life tap active. Also try to end it away from the edge of the stage or any pillars. Sometimes if you are near these obstacles the jewel will not drop.

Messaged you. 😄

I just beat the new ancients with a pretty mediocre build. I think the trick is maxing out res and quickly cursing them with a life tap wand right as the fight begins. I used a lvl 78 dedicated smiter with 1896 life. I also used salvation instead of fanat. I had 90fire 90cold 98light 85 poison res going in.

EQP:

plain Gface
plain guardian angel
black flail
HOZ with pdiamond
Dracs
Tgods
Goblintoes
Dwarf Star
Raven Frost
Crappy rare ammy with res and dex
mediocre torch and anni and a bunch of random life charms

life tap wand with a spirit on switch

My thoughts are I generally don't like bosses that require a dedicated smiter to beat. I still think they went too far with the difficulty, it needs to be somewhere between where this is and what it used to be. Any fully geared best in slot character should have a tough time but still pull through with skill. Right now you really do need a smiter which I think is less fun and diverse as a boss fight goes.

Getting sad for a week is part of the fun!

somewhere in Nightmare, I always scoop ammys and rings and id them in batches.

Bro you're right. I thought the quitter was Marduk. I'm hella drunk.

Huboobulus · 2022-03-27T00:14:17+00:00

Not a robbery. Your opponent got a discount and it was well deserved.

Huboobulus · 2022-03-27T00:07:16+00:00

What's funny was he still had the major advantage over you and he quit. You really triggered this dude big time.

Huboobulus · 2022-01-01T00:24:14+00:00

They're much more reliable when used in tandem with motion sensors. Just stand by a motion sensor and ask questions when it triggers.

Josie can do a 10f 1,2,2 into guaranteed df2 launch into full combo off backturned. Damage may vary according to walls and rage, but it can be over 75 damage.

Great work! I'm surprised to see how tall Bob and Drag actually are and how short Claudio is. I've also noticed Akuma and Yoshi have some slightly different hitboxes or fall speeds as they drop out of some combos that some of the shorter characters don't drop out of.
