The third king fight is almost impossible

[Buttchugga]

The only way I've seen to beat it is to spam the essence of dragon god to beat it, but a boss fight that in only winnable by using a single move is not a good fight in my opinion. I hope the devs patch it somehow. I managed to get down to 2 enemies left (1st and 2nd king) when the timer ran out using normal fighting. I think a good patch might be to extend the fight by a minute. Any thoughts?

My fix would be a timer that counts up instead.

I will also say I was dreading subsequent hell team rumbles after this, absolutely smashed all of them with 0 issue. This is by far the hardest fight in the game. 4th king is a joke compared to this.

I've also read people have had luck playing majima and spamming his spinning move, fwiw.

I barely beat him on normal, only had a few seconds remaining. Since enemies can heal, I thought the best thing to do is defeat the grunts ASAP, then move to the 1st or 2nd king. Of course you should make sure attack is maxed out, have items that boosts attack, most of your team members at lvl 20. Yakuza style has higher DPS in my opinion.

my health and attack are maxed and all my team is level 20. i just need like 30 more seconds to finish the fight. i even tried doing it on easy mode but the time just wasnt there. if you were able to do it guess im just bad at the game but it would be nice to progress

I saw some complaining about it but I also saw many say things like "beat it first try with Lv15-20s on Pro" so can't be that bad right?

Nah, they're talking BS. Felt like a straight up bad fight.

I'm not sure if they want you to take them out in a specific order but Fat Man Dan isn't going down quick without a ton of help and buffs. Johnny Cage takes too much time dancing around and Mecha Guy can OHKO you if not waste time with his stupid laser.

After good RNG I beat it with 8 seconds left. All Lv20 w/Lv3 bond. Majima, Kuroyanagi (was Sheep Man but he kept dying idk why), Sugiura, Chicken Man, Nightmare. Back was Daigo, Saijima, Kaito, Akamatsu, Higashi. I started with some bombs then switched to Yakuza and ran around trying to pick off goons first while spamming the 10s buff. I was focused on getting charge attack or heat action kills asap. Fat Man Dan ended up being the final enemy tank that nearly robbed me.

[RaidenFury]

Try to round up all the gold fighters you can, and grind them to max rank and bond. Then I just spammed the yakuza style charge attacks and kept using the team heat action when prompted. It wasn't too bad once everybody was maxed out. Still, it is insane how much enemies heal in that fight.

My biggest advice on professional is make sure someone doesn't die on the opening clash, especially a dps. It's okay if a defense guy dies, but if you lose like a dps, especially a machine gun guy, id reset. Focus on the small dudes, get rid of the gun four king guy if you can quick or save him near the end. Use beast stance (charged square) to basically be invulnerable and chunk health bars. It's okay to use the heat action on cooldown, but you might want to save it just a little bit if you get a good clumpage of your guys near one of the four kings early to basically erase them from the fight. Go in with a full heat bar, and if you have the drunk upgrade for more heat during extreme heat, get drunk.

My setup is 3 tank, 2 healer, rest dps. Funny enough the one healer doesnt even heal and he died quick, as long as I had Higashi the team was safe. It's a dps check, but you don't need to min max a perfect lineup.

[[heh]Kousaka]

Took me about 10 tries or so and I only beat him due to sheer luck, my clan members just attacked the correct people really. The Amon fight was a cakewalk compared to the Third King.

[Lizard]

The fight was super easy on Pro, you just suck... spent my first try wailing on the clown the entire time to no avail, second try i killed all the grunts asap, then the Healer/Justice, finishing off the 2 other kings after that should be a cakewalk.

This battle is heavily luck-based
If your team does their job right, it'll work out
If not, you'll run out of time no matter how well you play yourself
And no, having the legends pack doesn't really change anything about this
In fact Majima might actually be a hindrance

[Legato Bluesummers]

I got into extreme heat with agent and spammed the mega ciggs, got 5 or so of them off which is pure luck that u dont get hit which takes off a huge amt of heat. I think this may be broken bc some people are either lying or its different. The dragon god thing in extreme heat at low health is worthless on the bosses bc they get super armor if u do the same heat action again on them. Idk how the video going around did it. I even tried setting it to easy and there was no difference to pro. So idk if broken.

[Kinkki]

this fight is the hardest in the game. I had all crew on max level with 2 machinegunners when i got it. Tho I played only normal difficulty.

[a passerby]

I do think it needs some balancing because it makes no sense that it's harder than the Amon robots. The key way to win this is with heat actions that can target multiple enemies at once. Once I unlocked the final agent heat move, I got the S rank without a fuss.

[Le Hatch]

I just played as chicken head instead of Joryu and aimed the machinegun in a non-spastic fashion timed with the command it deleted the entire screen.

[Ahriman]

I beat it by:
- going in completely drunk
- activating extreme heat in agent style
- throw cigs until you run out of heat to clear out all the trash and damage the bosses too
- keep hitting enemies until you're full heat again (with the passive skill that generates heat when you land attacks while drunk)
- go into extreme heat again and repeat

also changing the difficulty seems to do nothing on this fight, it seemed the same to me on both professional and easy. the fight is total BS. i didn't have a single attempt where at least 2 of my party members didnt get immediately killed by the death beam at the start
