Harpy fight.... help?

[Zanaki]

Lure seems INSANELY strong, you're telling me I need to kill 4 harpies that use lure on my entire party every other round and it rarely fails, taking damage doesn't knock you out of lured like... What is the strat to this besides save scumming?

[Insanity Factor]

Crowd control helps. Sleep, Tasha's Giggles if you've got it, for example. Also the harpies need to keep concentrating on the singing (I think), so damaging them can interrupt the lure. Might be wrong about that one, memory like a sieve these days.

Keep helping your party up if they get hit and kill the harpy casting first. A new one will start and just target them. It's not too bad so long as you keep everyone alive and at least one good enough to smack them around.

Bless (spell) your party (gives higher change to resist) and shoot/destroy Harpy that is singing (to break consentration). Generally that works.

Does rage block it? I have a bard so buffed my party. Knock them down making them go prone. Drop area reoccurring damage on their location. Maybe silence?

Try to hit them with things that break concentration and force them to move. Get in their faces.

Maybe blessings may help too?

Not sure. I may have got lucky. I used my barbarian who charged through them. I dashed to them. Dropped area blades on them.

You can also just get unlucky and have bad rolls. I have karmic dice off.

Get your saving throws up. Knock them down.

Silence creates an AoE bubble that can be used to make your ranged attackers immune.

[Dera]

Most consistent way I have found is to have one ranged character who can hide pretty well. Have them hide and when everyone engages in combat shoot the one singing with the hidden character to make them lose concentration. From there, usually smooth sailing for me unless the NPC RNG fails and gets killed instead of running off.

A little luck but focus on breaking concentration, or just use silence if you can use level 2 spells. Concentration is per hit, damage doesn't matter, so magic missile is very effective at shutting down the luring song.

Damage does matter, but only after 20. Concentration check is half of the damage, but 10 minimum.

for the harpies it won't matter, your best bet is multihits i think

Use the Calm Emotions Spell, Shadowheart or a Bard can cast, makes everyone in 6m immune to charm for 10 rounds.

If you're stubbornly stupid like me and find yourself in a situation where all your party members capable of casting spells are "unavailable" I used an Elixir of Hill Giant Strength and yeeted that child halfway to next week before the fight started.

sorry for the off-topic, but I like their song :D where to get?

[ＣＯＲ]

Use Silence ability on your own Crew. Harpies became unable to lure and got them to stop singing (it pissed them off)

One of the harpies got in to the barrier but unable to fly due to that.
They try to lure us again but it didn't work, as long we got the Silence Barrier.

Lol, used smokepowder bomb on them because they pissed me off.
(It took me 2 tries to figure out this strategy)
