King Boreas tactician mode any tips?

Hmm, King Boras was not an issue here, he barely managed to switch surface once and immediatly died after that.

You didn't give your specifics so... I don't know, I guess I can describe how it went for me.

It was very straight forward.

Walked the group straight in, in the middle - the dumb way.

Circled him right away with pets (Nick, one UD pet from witchcraft and a wolf from geomancer, which didn't do much if anything), Madora and the rogue, so that he gets the flank debuff

2 casters (pyro/geo & hydro/aero) a bit in the back. They stayed where they were when the fight began, basically.

And smashed him. Physical dps from the pets, rogue and Madora. Casters were there for support : casting pets -> buff (blessed/ignition/constituion buff, etc) -> heal ->defreeze if need be, and toying a little bit with the shards when they appeared (if I remember correctly, these things really don't like fire).

Rest of the group just ignored everything. My characters resisted most of the freezing attempts from the shards stuff, thanks to decent bodybuilding / willpower (~3/3), and bonus from leadership level 6. They just kept smashing Boreas.

And he died, just after changing the surface from frost to fire.

Also, a very useful craft for both the area and the boss, if you didn't do it, is : any boots + nine inch nails. If you didn't know that one, you'll love it :)

Not sure if that's helpful, hopefully a little bit!

Here's an alternative method (especially good if you have a low chance to resist Frozen and other nasty debuffs):

• Take one of your Source hunters to Boreas to talk to him;
  
• Position the rest of your party near one of the statues (surfaces don't affect those areas);
  
• Buff your party with ♥♥♥ +3 or whatever useful buffs you have and finish the dialogue;
  
• Try to move your lone party member away from Boreas into the safe spot. Immunity to frost helps a lot;
  
• Spread your party a little bit, ressurect you MC behind your backline if they died, and summon as many familiars as possible to block Boreas off. Your warrior (if you have one) can also be a part of the 'wall', but that is not required. Just make sure they stay in range of the boss, as physical damage is a sure way to kill him quickly;
  
• Boreas doesn't like poison, so make sure to use that. CC and dispatch his adds, use mages to buff your party, use grenades & of course don't forget to re-summon your meatshields.

And remember: tornado is your friend.

Have fun.

You want to use weapons with physical damage only, as he heals from elemental damage.

I had fighter tank, hydro aero pyro, full dw scoundrel and ranger i spread the party on 2 sides, send everyone to the Ice pillar, and agroed him by hiting once the ice pillar, with my mage who was out of combat i went to the fire and earth pillar to destroy them, i used a coupled of scrolls to summon fire and earth elementals and summons it was kinda anoying because i have a lot of spells enchanted with elemental damage, i guess is kinda my fault because i went for him right after act 1
