Finisher on Demolysts?

[Racktoar]

Is there a way to easily open up a demolyst to finishers?

[talkingmute]

Nope, not even the humanoid ones. After you scan enough times (use Helios) you can check them out in the simulacrum.

I was hoping you could too :/ .

There are some ways to incapacitate them temporarily I know that, but no finishers then? Hmm. Sad.

you can stun them, but they cannot be opened up for finisher, or knocked down
the finisher one is for an obvious reason, covert lethality exist

Yes, true. I mostly got the idea because of my Plague Kripath riven having about +100% finisher damage...


Hmm, fastest way I've found to kill them is with my zaw; Plague Keewar, Kroostra and Vargeet II Jai. CO + crit(blood rush) + Viral and Clashing Forest stance build decimates even when starting at 0 combo (usually if you only use melee and have enough duration you keep it at least about 2x, if not even higher)
Problem is keeping up with them so they don't just run away from you. Incapacitating them would be for the best, but when I tried using for example Volt (his ult stuns/electricutes them), I die too quickly, at least when I tried it in simulacrum, but then again, Demolysts don't really attack you in missions, they just run for the conduit...

I find the idea of my getting to 20k solo (alone in my clan) is ridiculous, yet I've heard of people doing it...

I usually use melee when he stop & ready to blown off.Before he came running for the target i would blast him with arca plasmor,i dunno if it works with some other rifle.i would usually blast him till 3/4 of his hp gone.when he halt to demolish himself i'll melee him hard or continue blast him with my arca.

Wonder if the naramon finisher might work. I haven't tried.

Arca has been one of the worst weapons I've tried... That is in high levels... Like 150...

It doesn't. They really didn't want these guys to be Finisher'd.

Yeah,you got your worst.i dunno why it works for me,maybe you didnt forma it good ":P

Think they're immune to Status effects and blinds etc.

For me, popping Khora's '2' snare then unloading a high damage weapon like the Rubico modded for raw damage into it's head works fairly well, sure there's other similar combinations.

Arca Plasmor is terrible in general, it's greatest strength is that you really don't need to aim it. If you spent the amount of forma and resources that you spent on the Arca instead on something else, you'd have a decent weapon. He's talking about level 150 enemies, not level 30.

[SQLOwns]

the demolysts are just another poorly designed enemy IMO. They can tank bullets, immune to most CC, clear any buffs you have automatically, and run straight for the target........just boring gameplay overall.

[Vitamin Ex]

Demolysts is what I consider "artificial difficulty" where they make an enemy so grossly unbalanced and damn-near unkillable after level 150 unless you have chain stuns and the entire group dumping thousands of rounds into it.

The Ropalolyst also suffers from this with his 1 hit KO lasers.

DE has absolutely no clue how to design an enjoyable, well balanced, engaging fight. So they do the only thing they know how to do which is give the enemy/boss invincible phases so you can't kill it quickly, or give the enemy the ability to energy drain and/or nullify, or design them to kill you instantly, or make them so tanky that you won't want to play any longer than needed because you simply can't kill anything.

I was in a group pushing 10k points, the Demolysts at the end were level 180~ and even with a Khora and 4 players shooting it we reached a point where we couldn't kill them. The energy drain was preventing the Khora from stunning it, the null was stripping me of Vex armor, and we couldn't make a dent to his health because of how bad scaling is.

Players have been saying for years they want a challenge, DE has been trying for years to understand exactly what that means while stuffing the game with crap like this.

Plasmor is good for whipping groups of enemies, but when something tanky comes it starts to fall short since it isn't good at focus fire, if you want to kill specific targets is better a high precise weapon.

Of course there's going to be a moment where a DE programmer has one too many drinks while working and makes a riven challenge where you have to get 15 finishers on demolysts without taking damage with a dragon key equipped or something. It would be removed a few days later of course but I wouldn't be surprised if that happened.
