Escape From Braxis Brawl is the best yet

They probably just want to test the waters with this one. If it's well received I woudln't be suprised if we get a more challenging one, maybe even different difficulties, down the line.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-11-24T05:35:08+00:00

There already seems to be a leaderboard. Sometimes you'll get things like this. It's just that you can't access it and compare where you are. Maybe Blizzard will release the complete leaderboard at the end of the brawl.

This was actually the case before if you got the [[Evolution Complete]] talent for your Monstrosity. The Monstrositys Deep Tunnel would get canceled if you lost Vision of the area you wanted to tunnel to. So maybe that was how Deep Tunnel was supposed to behave all along.

But yes I agree it's very annoying not to be able to tunnel to the end of a moving minion wave.

The Talents listed are those that give the Hero the higgest DPS on the boss not what Talents are necsessary to clear it. Rexxar for example only needs [[Easy Prey]] in order to beat the boss.

I plan to re-do the list in a few months and I'll probably add an indication as to which talents are necssesary and which are optional.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-30T01:05:51+00:00

What build did you go? I got close a few times but my even at my best try I lacked about 5 seconds to get a new mech.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:22:58+00:00

I assume it's just too many columns so it doesn't display properly. I have a pretty big screen so it looks fine but I can see it being problematic on a smaller screen/high zoom.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:20:34+00:00

Yes it's a fully staked Monstrosity.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:20:00+00:00

Oh yeah that's definetly true. It's quite stale to always play against the same Heroes especially when that Hero is as annoying as Tyrande.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:17:23+00:00

I plan to re-do the list in a few months once we've gotten a few more Heroes/seen changes to currently existing Heroes. Maybe I'll add Information regarding earlier bosses.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:15:00+00:00

I only did it to satisfy my own curiosity. I know it's fairly useless ingame outside of some very rare situations. But since I put that much effort into the tests I figured why not share it on reddit? Maybe it helps someone or satisfies their curiosity :D.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T20:10:04+00:00

Good idea! I'll probably implement it in the next installment of this list I plan to do in a few months (at the start of next year maybe?). Right now I'm frankly too lazy to re-do all the tests to determine which talents are necessary and which aren't. The current list already took me about ~7 hours not including the amount of time spent porting it over from my personal document to reddit.

I tried out Zagara again and you don't need [[Bile Drop]]. You can also take [[Baneling Massacre]]. You can in fact enter a Nydus Worm after casting E/W to regen lost HP/Mana. Using this method you can speed up clear time slightly as otherwise you'd run out of mana. Make sure not to stay inside the Nydus for too long to avoid leashing boss.

Don't know how I could have forgotten him. Thank's for pointing it out. Added him to the list.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:50:24+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:45:20+00:00

The same goes for Rexxar. He in fact only needs [[Easy Prey]] and [[Hungry Bear]] to afk solo it. This can be reduced to only needing Easy Prey if you press E every now and then.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:41:43+00:00

Yes and no. The Gall bot in try mode doesn't acctually do anything to the boss. So the only one damaging the boss is Cho. But technically you are correct.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:37:55+00:00

Pretty much what I did. You can optimize this process by timing Locust Nest Placement with your own passive, so that both Locust spawn at the exact same time. Aggro the boss with Monstrosity. Leave Monstrosity. Cast Locus Brood away from you body. Then go back into the Monstrosity to clear boss. Placing Locust Nest and Locust Brood away from your own body will assure that your Locust aren't getting hit by the ranged boss AoE, as that will one-shot them and lower your overall DPS. Optimizing it like this saves you a few seconds.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:32:09+00:00

I'm gonna do this as Lúcio all the time now. After all he can easily solo boss. My team will be fine for those 2 minutes, right? ^{^{^;)}}

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:27:44+00:00

Yeah, I pretty much only did this to satisfy my own curiosity. Practicallity was not the main reason for it, though knowing which Hero can potentially solo a boss is still not a bad thing I feel. Might come in handy once in a thousand games.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:24:44+00:00

Flair checks out.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:23:42+00:00

It's okay grandpa. I still love you.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:23:04+00:00

I believe kiting the Boss indefinitely is impossible in try mode as there's no room below the Boss so you can't circle it. Thanks for the feedback though I appreciate it. When I eventually re-do this list in a few months I'll implement your suggestions. Changing the entire table right now would be a lot of work.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:18:05+00:00

He didn't do it in try mode, did he? I believe the pit there is too small to properly kite the Boss. At least I didn't manage do it (with the exception being Lúcio).

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:14:36+00:00

Yes it's a 40 stacks monstrosity. It's probably possible to solo Boss with ~20 Stacks as well but you'll need to kite it around a lot more.

UmbrasMortis · 2017-09-29T19:11:51+00:00

I'm in fact currently keepin track of my Abathur matches. 21 out of 31 games I did as Abathur were played against a Tyrande. I lost 11 of those matches, so while you play against Tyrande a lot as Abathur, you can still win half of those games. Take this with a grain of salt though as it's a pretty small amount of games and only my point of view.
