Any advice for the swine king?

[Ku no more]

Title sums it.
I got my ♥♥♥ handed to me by it, so i: "well, lets try again with higher lvl heros!".
Then my lv3 heroes cant enter the dungeon.
"Ok, lets try again with a new roster, add some guys with stun and bleed..."

Again, my ♥♥♥ handed. Him attacking between every action of my party members and giving 8~12 dmg even after i lvled up the heroes armor?
D:
I'd normally rather try for myself, but honestly, i dont have the patience anymore to keep farming gold to de-stress the A team...

(btw, is there any better way to manage stress? I'm often using disposable party members while theyre de-stressing, but in this particular case that i wanted to beat the swine king is a pain in the ♥♥♥ to have to wait for them to get better...)

So, for the swine king:

NEVER, I repeat, NEVER attack Wilbur if the king is still alive, he will do a very dangerous attack after that that is capable of stunning your entire party.

You also want to have a mark oriëntated team comp, something like ARB/OCC/HM/BH. You just need to kill the king fast. The arbalest has an ability to REMOVE MARKS, if there isn't anyone marked on your team the king will use an attack with low ACC and damage. Also, the occultist is able debuff the enemy's damage: it's at rank 1 30% less damage or something, but it stays for 3 round so stack that up! he won't do like any damage after that. On champion lvl I was able to debuff his damage with 120%, he did 2 damage agaist one marked target.

I hope it helps :)

... i feel kinda dumb now, every time i tried the first thing i did was kill the little ♥♥♥♥ so my team wouldnt get marked... d'oh.

Anyway, tks! I'm gonna try that!

Just bring an Arbalest with the following:

1) Rallying Flare skill - This skill clears the marks that Wilbur puts on you meaning the Swine King will never do his big hit. It also means your Arbalest will not be doing anything else, but it's the super safe route to go.

2) Stun Resist trinket(s) - Make sure your Arbalest is wearing a stun resist trinket. The only thing that messes up the Rallying Flare strategy is having your Arbalest get stunned. You can put stun trinkets on your other characters too if you want.

There are other strategies but I think this is the safest, most reliable one, especially when you get to the champion level Swine. His big hit on marked characters can one shot them so removing the mark is paramount.

Don't use an A team. Broaden your roster so that you have, at minimum, three good teams, and a couple extra people to swap as needed.

I think almost anybody made that mistake once. Wilbur just looks like the guy who helps the King hit, which makes it look as if the king will become much weaker when Wilbur is dead. That is quite the effective trap.
