Dead Bride HARD tactics
Any tips from people who did it? I`m having around 190k DPS on main gun and using Ajax for it, but people keep dying. Want to hear some tactics, but I guess its all about team...

Get a lot of Chill Resist and HP. When she starts getting immune to damage, get the hell out of there. When she teleports after that, get the hell out of there, too.

If your teammates are too terrible, there is nothing you can do. They'll waste the 3 lives and lose the fight.

I've gave up on hard bosses, passed hard Dead Bride after I've mistook hard difficulty for normal and the group managed to kill her, suddenly :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

As for tips - if you see her go invulnerable - run away, she's about to drop the snow globe with DoT.

she builds rage meter when you miss shots and don't hit her weak points
if you play in group, expect teammates to miss all their shots and see her enrage 3/4 times per fight.

She is easier to kill solo

get chill anti body

increase your guns dps get a good sniper that hits hard to dont just use the tamer all the time

when she goes immune she will teleport to a player as soon as she does this she will cast dome make sure if you see her teleport when she is immune u just run

if you cant kill it and you just need some help you can add me and i can help

As long as you're surviving and doing damage you're doing your job right. Since she does her blizzard twice you need to be aware of when her first Blizzard goes down so you can focus on running when you see that.

Step 1, DON'T WASTE ANY MODS ON RESISTS step 2, hope for compotent team mates, though your gun is on the lower end of the scale also (mine are also at 200-350k)

If you aren't dieing and are doing damage and have worked on your weapon mods so they are atleast part way ranked up, there is not much more you can do especially as ajax, I have the same issue as we don't have any 'I win' options open to us to easily solo stuff.

So, get a good over tuned maxed out gun or pick up a descendant that can easily solo it.

Im in the same spot, but the gun I want needs me to farm the devourer and 9 out of 10 groups have significantly lower gear than I do (maxed out ultimate ajax, multiple resets and 50% maxed mods on guns).

Just do it solo, people have no gear and try to be carried.

Get yourself the "antifreeze solution" mod, it does help... In prep for the later hard mode bosses, you perhaps want the corresponding ones for toxin, electric and fire... These things help stop the massive dots many of the hard mode bosses put on you.

Dead bride is one of the few intercept bosses where I recommend bringing in Bunny or Viessa for their movement speed buff. You save your MP for when she summons that massive globe if you need to get out quickly, even if you are next to her, as long as you straight line out of the "blast radius" the dot will perhaps only tick twice.

Now if you are good at targetting her weakpoints on her gun-arm when she enrages and can get it downed before she summons the globe, by all means try that...

And do everyone a favour by not taking a descendant lower than lvl 30 in there, primarily because lvl increases your defense, shields and health. Even tho external components and mods can alleviate some of this, there is a massive difference between being hit by the boss at lower than lvl 20 and at lvl 40! Taking such a low level character will most likely mean that player will need reviving A LOT there by gimping the groups damage output.

If you play Ajax forget about resist mods, resist are ok early on on components, no need to waste mod slot. Get your def and hp up, that will be more than enough.

pick a weapon and invest in it, make a good build. Weapon config is more important than char config, unless you play bunny type descendants.

Solo it if you dont wanna babysit underperforming teammates, otherwise you can only hope for competent team or geared players farming stuff.

watch out for her teleport, she usually follows it with ice field.

I put hp and def modules (maxed) on the descendant, External components that give me hp and def.
I don't use element/attribute resist, I find them useless. Boost hp and def should be fine, at least it is for me.
I use damage, crits and several other modules for the weapon.
That's it.
In this way I managed to do all bosses with radoms and I keep farming bosses for modules and stuff. I used Ajax at the beginning, then I switched to Enzo to help more my team.
I use Nazeistra's Devotion to debuff the bosses defence and in the meantime buff my team with Enzo.

I use some other strategy but these are the main things.

I mean at that damage your looking for a carry.

Really she feels like a gate. I did Devourer and Piromaniac from the FIRST try after her. Dead Bride is TOO fast at calling her dome and attacks are MUCH more unforgiving.

She is a gate for both, normal and hard, but don't worry, soon you will visit Frost Walker:murasame_smile:
