Who won a solo vs Annihilation (nightmare/apocalypse) ?

[HoenirVii]

Got damn it this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tough af (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[Videl]

1-st time killed it as Engineer + Summoner. With 113%+25% (high tech) Skill dmg and -73% cd to skills build. Turret and pets did all the work. But it took some time.

Wearing Technician Armor

2-nd time Engineer + Medic with same build. Took even longer but safer since heal is ready when previous still active. Non-stop heal.

Wearing Leto Mk1 as Armor.

I beat it on nightmare with this build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQW7ocouuAc&list=LL&index=1&t=343s and a slightly different weapon choice (Pulse Rifle with Firestorm mod for passive fire dmg)

[Darkest Mind]

So far only done final boss both solo and helping randoms in Nightmare and i think it's ok boss when relying only on sound cues and ignoring the eye hurting visual clutter. I find Cancer boss way harder personally.

I did it solo on apoc by getting 99% damage reduction using various rings/amulet, traits, DR fragment, holding the engineer weapon, and wearing no armor.

Done apoc solo. Used trainer + hunter though dog was just dead the entire time... Used moon bow, moon amulet (life steal), bright steel + leto mk2, black cat, don't remember the rest but basically defense, hp regen or hp. It took a bit cuz phase 2 is taking but once you know the fight it's just a long fight.

I soloed Annihilation on both Nightmare and Apocalypse.

On Nightmare I used Engineer and Handler. Apocalypse it was Engineer and Medic.

Armor wise it doesn't really matter since you're going to die in 1-2 hits. Turn off the game music and listen to the sound cue of the boss attacks.

Phase 2 takes a bit of time to get used to since attacks are delayed during the boss swapping around from Phase 1 stage to Phase 2 stage and vice versa. For me, I counted up to 3 seconds then dodge after each stage change. *Note, may not be 3 second for you since my internal counting maybe faster or slower then your counting.

One of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss ever. The only way it can be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ - if you hud and character were glowing red too. And boss itself is not as hard 2 other root bosses. My workhorses were bees and blood. Up to 3 bloodloss stacks. Armor - non, cos it is oneshoting you anyway on 21 lvl. Sharpshooter + invaider.

It's nice that you get 99% damage reduction in game with 80% hard cap.

Before a patch, Damage reduction was bugged so you could have over 100%.

You still can have 100%+ but it will not work above 80% Total DR if you point on it will tell you this.

What you saw was a bugged UI. If I recall, you needed about 130% DR to equal the 80% cap. The new patch should have fixed this.

The previous bug allowed you to be near unkillable due to bypassing the 80% cap by using DR from effect and not from Armor.
Here it is in action.

Got my apoc kill with handler/gunslinger. Widowmaker (song of Aefir to kill orbs) and enigma (again, orbs). Extra ammo really helps with widowmaker since its base ammo sucks so much ass. And of course lots of reload speed. The 3rd gunslinger ability says it makes 1-shot weapons fully automatic, but doesn't seem to do that... oh well though, it worked out.

Armor/DR help a lot. Only thing in this fight that 1-shots is the orbs if you get hit by a few at once. With 260 armor, 10% DR and 10% summon dmg absorb traits I could take a lot of hits.

[Misfit]

its honestly not that hard if you use one of the many tank builds. it just takes a while when you do no damage.
prepatch cancer was much harder on apocalypse with his random 1-shot roots (which where bugged).
