How are you meant to deal with Focused Fault?
I thought I'd prepared properly for the fight, my Hellion was taunted and was getting the tokens applied to them, but i ran out of consumables and my abomination started getting stacks too. When phase 2 started Both my Hellion and Abomination were getting nuked for 60+ damage crits twice a turn. How am I meant to deal with that??

KOing mini eyeballs with DoTs reduces the amount of actions they take (they'll split but effectively skip their turns), and using abilities that apply a large amount of positive tokens will cause the boss to spend turns suppressing their buffs. You can also get a lot of benefit out of low numbers of Guard tokens, or the typical Weaken/Dodge/Block buffs and debuffs to blunt the huge numbers through multiple rounds of halving damage.

Good strategy is blinding the boss, because it missing attacks removes one seen token, therefore lowering the damage the boss does. So combat items that apply blind or heroes with blinding skills are good here(PD, runaway).
Ah... dear. This boss. This wonderful, wonderful boss. Definitely wasn't a wall for me. Nuh uh. Not in the slightest. (I'm lying)

Eh... my suggestion here. One tank hero. Carcass Hellion, Any kinda Leper (not Tempest), Any Man At Arms, and... surprisingly enough a solid no on Flagellant. Reason being. Big cuck eyeball does big sucky damage. Will one shot anything with less than sixty health. So. Block token. Then heal as you pump damage and reapply block. Rinse and repeat. Dodge also works but... inconsistent. I've won with block consistently.

This is why I recommend Carcass, Leper, or Man At Arms. Good tanks, have self heals, can reapply block to themselves after Focused Fault Steals it. You have Abom? Good. Use Maul to turn that block into extra damage and absolutely mow down the giant big giruefkhdsniujk eyeball that I hate. Please demolish that thing for me. Also... yeah dodge can be a great idea. If you can apply it. Apply it. It just works. Just shouldn't be what you fall back on ***FOR YOUR TANK*** Any other character you don't want Seen Tokens on? Yes, dodge. Apply dodge. Get those tokens off. And kill the mini eyeballs with them. Dodge for your other damage/debuff/healing characters. Whatever combination you have should work as long as it's tied together with a strong block tank.

To specify also. Any other questions are appreciated I like talking about this stuff. ^^

Also thank you for asking a useful question and genuinely wanting advice for the game. It can be discouraging seeing a lotta the stuff put on steam threads and this was nice.

Aaaaaand now I'm in the mood for a Confession run. I'll be gaming. ^^
