I feel Ijirok is one of the easiest boss fights ever. I've done it on day 70 and I'm pretty sure I was able to do it earlier if I found him earlier. Barbarian madman I managed to kill in 15 days with lone wolf and barbarian 2H mace. These bosses are a free source of unique items.

Mace is amazing against barbarian madman, plus a dog just in case

Scatter you bros at the start into a loose formation blob.

Have either a few twohanded mace men or staff sling wielding throwing bros to apply the Daze effect. Keep them spread out a little bit so regardless of where it teleport charges to there is someone close to daze it.

Move bros out of coldness. Keep it dazed. Keep throwing damage at it. It dies.

Profit.

Pros and cons of each daze weapon:
Twohanded Mace - Will always daze on hit and does real damage tho limited mobility to strike with it.
Staff Sling - With proper positioning and knockback of ijirok, you will always have a shot tho poor accuracy, sometimes takes a few shots to daze.

FilthyRobot has a series on youtube explaining his strategies for pretty much every enemy in the game. I highly recommend it if you've got a particular enemy type that you can't figure out how to handle.

For the Ijirok, the short version is whack it with hammers to make it go last and maces to make it do less damage, and use a few archers with overwhelm to make it miss.

Vs my militia Ijirok died before I figured out how he works.
-1st turn, he attacks corner of formation and takes minor damage (only few bros can reach)
-2nd turn, he jumps into middle of my formation, inflicting decent damage. But gets attacked by everyone in response, gets dazed and loses most hp. I also find out that he's immune to nets.
-3rd turn, I go 1st because he's dazed (+adrenaline on slower bros) and finish him.

just fought him. dude is bouncy; his movement on the map is not limited by ap, as he can literally jump the entire map. if you have at least 150 armor on your brobods though, and you keep him dazed, he does next to no damage. interestingly, my archers did the most damage to him. keep a heavy bro next to each archer and spread those duos out... and the beastie always takes good damage every turn.

I had heard horror stories about this fight, so i waited until my team was mostly level 10 before i tried it. phht. no need. you can take this guy at level 6-7 I would think.

fwiw, he appears immune to any status effect BUT daze and bleed. could not stun, taunt, poison, or net him.

remember that cleaver you found in the ice cave? you can bleed it with that, but I didn't bother.
