Sharen with sniper is a good idea too, but is it really enough? What damage it deals? I presume boss is around 15-20M HP. I never seen damage more than 3 mil per shot with first shot mod. Will definitely try snipers tomorrow, I’m curious.

I suspect you are doing something wrong if the shield is the issue with a built thundercage in hand. Especially now after the invasions have been made easier on both time and pressure.

May i suggest checking youtube for builds and trying again?

Eh, I think he is one of the easier to beat bosses and probably with least health.
I beat time with Blair in one go the other day.

Today I couldn't replicate it with skills alone due to -80% fire skills power debuff.
One time I beat him using skills and Restored Relic + Enduring Legacy barely managing to beat him before the timer runs out.
The second time I brought him to 30% and then he went invincible.

The fact that you need a certain Ult Weapon built a certain way only proves my point. If a Grieg with a reactor and multiple catalysts cannot DPS him down, that's pretty trash.

Grieg? Greg's Reversed Fate, the tactical rifle? This thing is legitimitely not so good at DPS'ing most things that arent colossi since the AOEs wont hit them/wont hit weak spots.

I have used both thundercage and blue beetle successfully to DPS invasion bosses.

I'd like to see those weapons too. Also that UValby.

Since you refuse to post a screenshot or at least tell the DPS on your weapons, I'd say this problem EBKAC.

'Nuff said. You literally cannot kill him. Everyone loves to complain about the puzzles (forces you to be tanky AF), but what about the bosses? After dodging the hordes with Ult Valby and disabling his invulnerability shield by dumping brains, you are greeted with an overshield so tanky it beats out most Colossi. I not ONCE was able to burn through this overshield before it resets back to full when the timer runs out. I POUNDED this guy with Laundry, maxed out Grieg's, Thundercage, Nazzy, etc. If an Ult Valby with tons of health and DEF mods can barely survive and cannot DPS down ONE LITTLE BOSS, there is a serious balance problem here. My weapons are nearly maxed out on catalysts, so there isn't much more damage to be had here. Clearly they built this boss for sweatlord Ult Gley and Lepic users, because no one else is gonna kill this thing. :steamfacepalm:
Dude, you doing something wrong here. I did the same today with Vaulby and Enduring legacy with 1 donut and 1 mushroom, and literally killed boss in one go, both shield AND HP. Try change weapon, Greg is not best for solo target. Try Garden or EL. And use fire rate mods.

Post valby setup
post weapon mod setup

otherwise no one can help you and identify the problem. Considerung the boss dies in a couple of seconds from some PL shots no matter the descendant its quite confusing reading about your issues.

Not showing weapon or character builds and rather waiting for coop so other players that did their homework beat the boss for him, lmao.

Since you refuse to give any ACTUAL advice or tell me what to use, I'd say this problem is EGK. (Elitist Gate Keeping)

Well here is what to do.

Take any descendant put just two hp mods and a def mod on them. You can even unequip the reactor no matter. Use your thundercage until you reach the boss. Once brain mechanic is done just fire a couple of PL shots and boss dies withint 3-4 seconds.

Are you for real? How much damage PL deals? 4 mil per shot unmodded? 60k average per shot from EL - 350 bullets to boss, so roughly 21M HP. So you say it’s true to EACH shot from PL? I’ll sure test it. Got PL for Heily, but will try.

Bro, he wanted advice and said he used valby and had trouble. Thats why i posted the garbage mod setup for any desc to be able to clear this with ease.

The PL is ofc fully modded. I think with heily sniper setup you can go without mods on the gun and still kill the boss quickly with V then Q and ult at 16 stacks. Should still steamroll the boss without mods on the weapon.

I’d say change MP collector to HP collector on Bunny. Add crit damage mod and HP to Battle stamina, but 210% HP is ok too. Other than that it’s pretty much meta build. Cleared the boss with Bunny today and EL. Also OP if you really get killed fast - use Ajax. Just put a wall and shoot without fear and dodging. Try different builds that suits you.

I mainly run Invasions with Vaulby and Ajax, Ajax is slower but 100% survival ability. Also HP collector will save you a lot of time looking for HP orbs.

Not showing your own builds while acting like everyone has the time to be a sweatlord. Lol.
I'm not the one crying because i can't beat the nerfed missions.

If you don't show the builds, there is no way anyone can help you. The only reason I can think of is that both your characters and weapons are terrible.

YOU are the one with the problem, claiming it is IMPOSSIBLE to do, contrary to the forum full with people complaining how easy it is after the nerf. People here could tell you what YOU are doing WRONG, if you would provide INFORMATION.

But no, you are just showing attitude, not admitting that your build is the problem.
