Dead Bride is Frustrating

[Simulacrum111]

Is there a way to keep leveling or am I stuck until I can beat this boss with randos?

I feel like I have hit a brick wall. This probably needs a rebalance.

It's just roulette you'll eventually get matched with people who aren't complete potatoes and know basic things like shoot the crystals on the gun to break her immunity and how to not stand on top of her so they don't get nuked by her freeze bomb and frenzy

I'd say she is more of a lesson about element damage. I got away with not really looking at the mods on my weapons with the previous bosses. With Dead Bride, fire damage makes a huge difference. But I will agree that there needs to be some system limiting who can join. Had a couple matches where randos had lvl 10 characters that made the match unwinnable.

apparently if you do private match solo it will scale her down

haven't tried myself

The penalty for a lack a basic prep and tactics is too much for most of the players I have run across.

Bring fire damage, ice resist and if you can the ability to spawn barriers. Don't fire in the open you will be punished. When she ices up just run away. If you don't make it crawl out of the ice AOE so someone can save you. Shoot her gun when she ices up. Kill adds for MP. Leave some health lying around so when to pulls the big AOE you can run over it to give yourself a second chance to avoid death.

Rambling. I'm not perfect or good at the game yet but I do feel like this is going to take people some time to figure out. I don't want to be stuck for days on this....

The scaling down doesn't seem to do much it needs to be scaled down way more then it is for it to be effective. When I killed it, it felt like I was the only one doing much to it. She's vulnerable to fire damage and I had fire damage mods on my weapon and I had fire aspected abilities

Makes sense. I'll give this a shot if all else fails.

The problem isnt the damage done and dead bride is in need of a rebalance and the problem definately isnt element damage the problem is the shield she spawns. to put it simply the developers miscalculated the size of the shield she spawsn its simply to big. and dosent leave enough room to escape it and leaves you little time to escape before your dead. And it simply takes up half the size of the map for the boss fight. Its redic three ive tried this boss three times eatch time died to the dam shield she spawns attempting to run out of it only to respawn into the dam shield to be instantly killed agian. Developers need to fix this asap. the other issue is there is no forum page on the first descendant websight to report such feedback

the only 2 things you need to beat dead bride is this

upgrade cold antibody module to 1600+ (resistance)

dont stand in stuff that hurts..

ive used random lmgs, handcannons, snipers, (non ultimate) while farming her for parts. both in private and puplic groups.

her drops are totally busted. got everything to drop but the divine punishment blueprint in over 30 runs. even got 2 energy activator blueprints and a bunch of ensiemo cells, but not ONE drop of the divine punishment. It's mathematically impossible for a 3% drop to be more common than a 15% drop.
