Completely unfair boss modifiers ruin entire campaign runs

[Chrisdaman417]

There are some completely bs combinations of modifiers that are not possible to beat. The new witch in sunken haunt with trapper on nightmare is literally not beatable. She floods the entire pathway with instakill visual diarrhea. So what do I do here? Just restart... after fighting through 3 worlds... easier to uninstall. This game clearly isn't play tested for nonsense. It is a complete let down from the first game.

Edit: I ended up perfect dodging and feedback looping her to death. I didn't know trapper didn't trigger on backstep. I appreciate the advice... I still think it is a stupid modifier, and server combinations are needlessly irritating.

Blow up the breakable walls with hellfire or nebula (supposing you have one of them). When she spins run away.

You could be a bit more selective about dodging instead of panic rolling around the entire arena. The way Trapper works, she's not "flooding the entire pathway with instakill visual diarrhea" - you are.

Do backsteps create the traps? I haven't experimented with it, but backsteps give you a ton of iframes so that could be an alternative.

Being on Nightmare you could try facetanking her. Soul Link with Engineer or Summoner might work, or a bleed lifesteal melee build.

What can we say except, get good.

Sunken witch on trapper is beatable. Have two buddies who did that on apocalypse with I think Elemental Resist and Leech on top of that. Now they did take three hours to do it because they had to unlearn to instinctively roll out of ♥♥♥♥ and had to actually use neutral dodge a ton, but it is doable 100%

my favorite thing about this thread is how fast it shifts from “this is impossibe” to “oh, you dodge roll, ok.”

[Chrisdaman417]

I just think trapper adds no value to the game, and actively damages bosses. Hell the entire mutator system is weak. I just rolled trapper on Venom in the same world. It is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to punish for dodging in a game like this. I get it for a specific boss with mechanics, but just rng on ANY boss is stupid.

Also you clearly missed the point if you heard "Oh, just dodge" that is exactly the issue. You DON'T dodge.

so not impossible? ok

Beat her with melee brawl on Apocalypse difficulty. Stonebreaker works nicely against her especially with current stamina recovery bug during charged attack.

What would happen if they fix the bug?
No problem with my stamina recovery build since I can spam World's Edge charged attack just fine.
