Ex Boss Raid - Warrants no reason to play it!

[Rustle]

No increased drop rate on gear drops, just a "harder" more 1-shot able, copy paste from the original boss raid.

Yikes... Oh but we can get a cool hat that looks the same as the original non ex version!

you do it for 10 wins for archivment maybe

It's a bad idea.

I have my 10x badge but not the cosmetic, and I don't feel like grinding for it with the current drop rates, especially since it’ll be easier by December.

The boss isn’t difficult; the developers just use tricks to make it harder. For example, it summons portals at the edge of the map, then suddenly does a big AOE tail swipe when players are distracted. Another annoying move is when lightning balls spawn near portals, creating small AOE effects, the boss will do a similar looking one-shot attack that kills you.

It’s also frustrating when players rush into the fight without proper gear or knowledge. If you're not doing at least 3 million damage, you’re dragging down the team. There is too many players not upgrading their equipment or slotting the appropriate special effects.

I had no problems with this fight earlier today, but during peak NA/EU hours, new players keep dying in the first phase, which is just basic attacks like a tail swipe, claw swipes, and a laser pillar.

Really makes you wonder how many people are just hitting buttons, because the fight is still 90% Skull Reaper tier 1/3.

Maybe if they're new to the fight, they don't think the boss can just casually one-shot them? Even if you aren't getting hit for a while, it's easy to see the lightning pillar one-shotting everyone else.

It's still kind of a coin flip on whether you win or not, since the boss has approximately 150m HP, you really only need 4-6 people that can do 20m+ on average damage to win; everyone else tends to be extra baggage that slightly contributes.

I've seen R100's get killed to T1 reaper enrage, wouldent be surprised people try to faceroll Ex n get washed.

Should drop the newer skull helm and maybe like a skull n bones based armor that looks like reapers body.

Rn its just bragging rights badge.

horrible game cant even add a new boss to their "live service game" if u can call it that at this point its just 4 raids with 3 of them being skull reaper after the 3rd gets into rotation what a joke of a game makes me wish i never bought it if i knew they were just gonna add the same bosses over and over

It only happens for a couple of days in a few intervals. It is fun for the challenge and possible cosmetic. So you don't have to do it but I think it is fun then just boss rushing 24/7

I didn't even get a single purple or yellow from it. And it took forever because half the team died. Except that one Strea who did 69 m damage and carried the whole damage process.

Wonder what kind of cheats they had to hit that much, since Strea's skills are very weak lol.

It's just a lazy game with lazy updates.
