Qira Got Buffed

Noticed increased health during my (attempted) level 80 run, and swapped to my level 100 to test. 280k first and second phases, 320k third phase, for a total of 880k health - versus 210/210/280 before. I think this gives her the second highest health of any boss in the game, since Matrojan is 1.1M and if I remember correctly Doctor Legendary is 750k total, unless that's been changed.

First phase Heal spell is absurdly powerful though, you basically can't use low-damage challenge builds because she heals so quickly. My level 80 was doing ~5k bombs, 105 Int, 9/4s mana regen, and Curse (build, I have 2/4 Crystal and Sodeta Boots), but she full-healed after I got her down to ~230k multiple times.

To do - check health of other Hive bosses.

 

Now we know how bosses feel when trying to kill mages pre-nerf

 

Regular mobs got at least slight buffs (tested a few), too lazy to test all of them (and it's pretty hard as Archer because I still get 3-shot by Psychomancer). Generally the buffs are in the range of 1-5k extra health, with some exceptions (Water 9 got an additional 15k or so).

- Psychomancer is 110k.
- Spirit of Gale is 145k
- Genesis-Revorse is 185k
- Oceanic Judge is 230k
- Solar Vanguard seems to keep the same 180k first phase - didn't get a chance to test second phase because I forgot to bring a water weapon.

 

yahya/cybel/wybel lul

 

Alright, highest of traditionally-fought bosses. Wybel/Cybel is 540k between the odd-numbered phases.

Also it's kind of funny how everyone dislikes Yansur :P

 

RIP Misconduct and every other fast or quicker unique weapon, your sacrifice will not be forgotten.

 

not just uniques wtf

 

plz
my playstyle is based on that

 

Legendaries will still do damage, but rares and uniques will suffer.

My thought exactly.

 

nepta
judas
peaceful rest
cascade
event horizon

sawtooth
rewind

ttide (it does have decent max base, but huge damage variety)
zero

but yes i agree these sorts of weapons get sort of shafted if that's true

 

But... Guardian tank...
WTF AM I SUPPOSED TODO

 

Spoiler: The button of regret

join air spear

 

Crouch dance on the boss?

Actually that's the right answer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Trying to pierce Qira with Peaceful Rest, Sawtooth, Rewind, Zero or Cascade is a joke that you aren't actually trying.
Judas has got big rolls and nepta/t-tide has spam. T-Tide actually has a high base damage AND raw spell, so it's probs fine. Raw spell Nepta or Judas could do it too.

 

I think the equivalents of 7k or 8k bombs could do it, but it's extremely annoying. I did a run with my level 100 and spent more than half of the time on the first phase.

 

Exactly. That's why I won't be using a rare or lower unless I'm also spamming SP potions, and at that point I'm going to buy food/potions off the marketplace to speed things up too.

 

So that’s a fat nope to soloing it for casuals then

 

If I remember correctly, the solar vanguard has 120k health in his second phase, making his total health between both phases at 300k.

 

I mean, I have an air warrior using hero.
My main uses guardian though

 

No joke a 10k meteor nepta build didn’t do crap to it

 

Raw Spell? Raw will pierce. Just % will suffer
