How to defeat muse?

[binder_diego]

I've been trying to defeat her but I can't even get past the first turn before she wipes the floor with my face...does anybody have a strategy to beat her?

[Phantom]

Gave this a go for giggles and hes not wrong its solid, has clear weaknesses and stuff but as effective as any end game build (which all require cheesing something)

Took out all but 6 of the gods in one go, three of them took a second key. Then it was coming up with different parties for the remaining 3

My advice would be to use Witch Doctor with mummies. Have a mimic cast Flood of Darkness and watch Muse kill herself. Works for King Andrik as well.

[murometz]

I've used Doombringer, spamming Affliction and Flood of Darkness (Generous, Chance to Cast Twice, More Charges). Won't always work, but when it does, it's fun to sit back and watch your enemies kill each other without any interference from you.

I've just tried it and it didn't work =( two of her monsters survived and killed all of mine =(...it was my last key

Did you spam Affliction even after your enemies were thoroughly covered in debuffs? -Also, try adding minions to the mix. I deal in a lot of indirect damage with my current team. Relics are worth it, since their abilities also get spammed with a Doombringer.

Finally, check the realm you're facing off against Nether bosses. Some offer more bonuses with attack-useful buffs and debuffs, or defense, etc.

What are you talking about realms for? This is a Gate of the Gods fight. Realm modifiers are not relevant.

You're right; I missed binder_diego's mention of a "last key," since the OP didn't mention it. Rest of the comments about using Doombringer to bring doom to Muse still work.

I'm not sure it was really necessary for mention of the key thing since, as far as I've seen, Muse doesn't appear as an enemy outside of Gate of the Gods. Muse is one of the new gods added in the most recent patch and is not a part of the main story (as far as I know).

I would have sworn I encountered Muse as a Nether boss, but I could have misremembered after some long playing sessions. Muse is not listed under Nether Bosses in the Codex.

Still a winnable fight at the Gate using Doombringer, tweaked to spam Affliction, etc.

holy crap im barely 7 hours in level 24 creatures and Im seeing lvl 72000, dafuq...this crazy..makes me want to keep playing lol

[brevous]

I'm trying to clear all of the GotG bosses right now with Tribalist. My team cleared all bosses except for Muse with only minor adjustments but now I'm stumped. I've tried all sorts of variations in team makeup/traits etc but I get wiped before I even get to take my first turn.

I'm only at depth 314 right now, a handful of relics between lvl 20 and 40. Do I need to wait and unlock more? Thanks in advance.

Any suggestions for defeating Muse specifically with Tribalist?

Fuse a Mimic with anything that fits your team, give it the Contagion spell gem (you might want to give it the Generous enchantment). Sit back, relax and watch her team tear each other to pieces.

Also Spell Lock spell gem!

I guess you already know this, but since you most likely have a mono-class build, you benefit greatly from the Chaos Nexus spell.
