Dead Pets

[Monado]

I can't seem to find an answer to this. I have a few pets equipped at the boss battle. I notice though that both pets are dead.

They are little tombstones and the equipment page says R.I.P

Fun little effect, I just don't know how its possible. I wish I noticed before I tripled my fury into the 300's without noticing my mosquito buddy is gone.

Final Boss has a turn 2 move that kills all pets.

Thank you

I came here looking for this very answer. That's honestly pretty lame since a huge part of at least Grukli's gameplay is related to his pet. It basically makes it useless to play with that in mind since it gets wrecked in the boss fight. May the devs accept that as constructive criticism.

Round 3. not 2.

Are you talking about clearing his blood? Cause the pet helps but as soon as you get bloodguard. You basicly stop caring about blood and hard shift to getting 1000+ stacks of fury.

That's a fair point. I avoided equipment like this because I had the pet, but if I had known I could have used the pet until I found the equipment. I would still suggest that there should be a mechanism to protect your pets or equipment if there are, or will be, attacks in game that kill or destroy them.

There is, you can kill that boss before he kills your pets.

At higher Madness, players shouldnt rely on a pet to begin with.

If players wish to utilize high Fury Stacking(and the bleed it produces), consider using a Healer to change Bleed to Wet, and then Wet to Bless. Or if that is too cumbersome, just Dispel it.
Cards that provide Buffer can also help.

Simply getting Bloodguard is the easiest option(if you want to stack Fury), but it will not enable self-bleed builds, so there is that.

On top of that Warriors have several bleed dispelling cards aswell.

blood guard kills your team members however. When they draw dark explosions, adjacent allies deal damage to the warrior and then die to retaliation. very FUN (not)

You can actually keep the pets alive if your character dies on handshek before he does the attack. This information doesn't help however, but it is useful to know if for some reason you'd want to keep your pet on Archon.

I've always been puzzled by the "avoid bleeds" builds for Grukli. Transferring his bleeds strikes me as a powerful tool -- pretty much the flip side of his coin.

Now playing Fury Neinkul seems a lot riskier, since he doesn't really have the warrior tools for transferring, so I've tried the mosquito on him, but as much as I want to like him haven't had it click. (Then again, I'm still learning.)

Avoiding bleed is a specific build if you're trying to get fury and not die from it, but usually this *isn't the case* as you want to use Burning Blood usually on your self bleed to convert it to burn and more fury. This can also be applied from any other warrior so you don't *Need to be a warrior* to actually have a fury build going, you just need to HAVE a warrior.

Otherwise

You don't typically go fury on characters that aren't warriors in general due to how inefficient they are unless your messing around on lower madness's where you can do anything really.

Although you can have Yogger present since you can get the vitality perk which fully cleanses bleed on gaining vitality. This is useful since if Yogger always goes after or before your character with said bleed stacks, he can always dispel it. The turn order doesn't matter after round 1 as either you'll take like 2 bleed damage (unless you get like 100+ fury turn 1) and then he'll dispel it, or you'll just suffer the bleed procs themselves applying to you, then he'll dispel it. This works with any vitality applying card to that hero with the perk, but obviously Yogger is just easier to use for it.

Also you'd just take yogger for corrupted wolfy in act 1 as well, as well as all the other yogger shenanigans.

The boss pet kill needs to be removed imo, or at least all corrupted versions of pets need to be immortal like the bird. An unavoidable insta-kill for pets you spend a considerable amount on is beyond ridiculous. It should at the very least be counterable in some way but best solution would just be removing it entirely.
