Final Resistance too OP on enemies?

[JackDow]

Like the title said. I fought a boss with Final Resistance he somehow managed to block 6 attacks from all my main fighters with no damage then one-shotted 4 of them with his overcharged move.
I thought blocking would at least damage him but he was taunting me with 62 hp
Any tips on how to kill such a boss?

Which boss exactly? Usually, Bianca and Sion deal with them, since they do way over 1000 damage on block.

You were probably fighting Darius. He is a barbarian and has masteries that increase his damage reduction even further, when his hp is lower. I suggest using debuffs that will either damage him (Bleed, poison, burn, and so on) or make it so he can't fight you by limiting his movement, freezing him, or constantly increasing his action time.

And also, fight him at a spot where he can't knock you back on counterattacks. Darius' class lets him take an extra responsive attack if he takes damage and can move at least one tile to go into melee range of an enemy. This can lead to ineffective attacks just getting your whole team murdered.

Final resistance and AoE overcharge sounds more like chang instead of darius (There is no way he has bianca at that point lol). The tips mentioned by TargetPractice still work on him as well. If you can then I recommend getting albus to max greatswordsman for the red thorn sword mastery since severe bleed works wonders against these units with final resistance. Also recommend witch anne's ability constricting root to prevent him from moving and reduce his block. If possible you can also try to just beat him before he reaches the 33% hp zone.

Seconding this. Constricting Root + Severe Bleed = enemy can be totally ignored and will be dead in about 100 AT. Constricting Root is in general one of the best non-Freeze status effects to throw at tanky enemies, since even the most deadly dude can't kill what he can't see or reach.

If brute force doesn't work use crowd control. Not that you can't brute force through Final resistance in this game. Bianca can kill almost anything in a few hits, block or not.

Other alternative is use Anne or Leton to entangle/freeze the enemy then beat them up or have Albus, Heixing and Giselle bleed them to death.

Final Resistance works even if the target is stunned/frozen and negates the mandatory critical hit guaranteed by the Luck buff. Once activated, the block chance is an immovable 100%. But it triggers only if the target's health reaches 33% or less. Bleeding and poison are your best friends against HUMAN targets with Final resistance.

Block chance reduction doesn't work on Final Resistance either. Tried that on both ends. During a Draki Nest run, I had Heixing take a critical hit from the Frost Draki baron and trigger Final Resistance. Heixing blocked the follow-up attack despite being frozen. And I attacked Ash-covered Yashas with the Breakthrough mastery equipped. If Final Resistance is triggered, they block with a 100% certainty. And Darius with Final resistance active blocked Irene's Red Panda 6th style - Front breakthrough ,which under any other circumstances reduces the Block chance to 0%.

Now that I mention it, if you have Irene, that's a good way of dealing with Final resistance. If the target is down to 50ish % HP, Irene should be able to incapacitate them with said attack. But only if the HP is higher than said 33%.

Yea it was Darius. He really was like an unstoppable barbarian.

Maybe I'll try out a build like that. I was using Albus as a lone counterattacking Magic Knight tank at the front line with Irene as a Magic Wall Battle Mage. Didn't really like the DoT in this game but maybe I'll play around with it after this.

The easiest way to deal with final resistance is to pack such a punch that you can defeat them outright without even triggering it, though if they have impulse fields that becomes another story. But i usually just use my high damage guys take them out. Or use 2-hit attacks like Albus' Tornado slash etc.

Lightning Sion with his 30k+ Lightning Strikes can break any enemy resistance, even the final ones :)
