Phoris just insta killed me with what?!

[Clickshe]

He just boiled me inside of armor and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shields that is not fair from soloing this. Seriously wtf?!

[Suzaku]

He fires poison homing projectiles. Since they're poison, they bypass shields and deal damage directly to health. If you're in a slow frame, it's a death sentence if you have no cover nearby. You can try to outrun them in a quicker frame or find some cover to hide behind. Personally, I find him to be the hardest boss in the game.

I do know he dealt poison damage... That is just insanely annoying against frost or Rhino btw it one hit killed my team mate Loki Gz developers and chargers deals more damage than Grineer napalms or some other bosses... Seems legit even they are melee units I know.

Yes it was pertty easy to see they were homing... Hmm... This makes sense we give a poisonous homing missiles to infestation mob what can already one hit kill you. Yeap tons of sense (Yes I know there is frost damage mods) That poison is ridiculously over powered remove the poison damage and add stagger + to deal instantly about 50 to 100 shield damage that would be OK to me since there will be tons of other infestation mobs on the field.

To be fair, its completely up to the player(s) whether to clear the area of mobs before the fight or not. Second, there are ways to cheat death from this frame. I'll use the frame that is designed for Infestation killing as an example. Ember can time the cast of Overheat with the impact of the projectiles in order to become invulnerable the moment it hits. Not sure if the damage can actually be reduced sufficiently by the same skill as my timing had always been spot on.

Well right now... I don't have time for collecting alloy plates to make Ember + I am going rank to 6. So leveling up things may not be so wise there might be bug on the getting more EXP to rank system.

No need to rely on immunity. Simply initiate the boss fight (the cutscene) and then run back into the hallway that leads to Phorid's room and fight him there. I was able to solo farm him for the Nyx blueprints fairly easily. Be sure to use a weapon with the cold element to keep him slowed though.

esus927 I have only once relied on immunity as a Trinity before nerfs but everybody else I have never relied on being immune to damage.

Poison is the only thing what is a bit too good. If that would be replaced just like I suggested or player gets rooted on place and receives shield damage that would be enough.

I was referring to carl1330's Ember suggestion. It does indeed seem unfair from a solo perspective, but the game was meant as a co-op experience (where revives are infinite), so it didn't really bother me when I was one-shot and I simply looked for ways around it.

[Clickshe]

Well there is always times then you are playing online but nobody is not on the game.

@Carl1330

Overheat works fine even if you initiate it before they hit..

@Esus

And Phorid cant get under the stairs leading down to the big boss chamber,..
so one could fight him from there too ;)
