How to kill snowman?

He seems to be hitting all attcks unless you sprint. And when you sprint you can't shoot.

you mean Mr. Tinder Snowflake ? Fire, Fire, and more Fire....

[Lothic]

you got phases where he doesn't move
if you want to glitch around, go to the entrance

Hide in the alcove where the lift is. Aim for his head. If you have a Bekah, use it! I've found that the quickest killing tool for him. I use Axton, so maybe my strat won't apply. Also, leave some of the small snowmen for ffyl recovery in case he downs you.

This fight can be annoying. Which character and level are you?

Any class can melt him with a bee and a high fire rate fire weapon, or you can cheese him near the lift.

If you're not into cheese, sprint away and turn 90 degrees when he's close to avoid the charge. Maybe someone has a better way,

He gives you opportunities to shoot at him but sometimes he can spam his charge attack. It usually comes in threes. If he charges, be prepared to try to dodge two more. Preemtively throw a transfusion and take your moxxi weapon. Just be prepared to heal.

Axton can get a lot of damage in at the start of the fight or kill him outright depending on gear used. Stand behind the snowman near the enterance. When Tinder jumps out of the ice, stick a turret up on the cliff face at Tinders head level. The snowman will block any initial attacks while you lay into Tinder. When he comes toward you, he'll want to attack the turret. I'm unsure if he can really damage it there, so it might be a little glitchy. I think it's legit.

You can use snowmen for Axtons kill skills. Onslaught should help you avoid some of the garbage he throws at you. Just try to keep one around for FFYL.

Lately, I've been using a Rough Rider and 5 points in fleet on Maya. It makes it pretty easy to avoid his charges.

Really a bee is the easiest method, or cheesing from behind the lift. Make sure you're using fire weapons. I usually have luck with high mag Vladof snipers on him. Of course plasma casters and sandhawks work well too.

There are few ways to get his agro off you too.

Axton can Mag-Lock a turret on the cliff face. Tinder may and should try to get at. Should give you some time to do some damage/

Gaige's Deathtrap can hold his agro as long as he isn't doing his charge attack. You don't want to summon DT too early. If you do it about the time he is finishing his third charge, Tinder may lock onto DT with his frostbreath which doesn't seem to affect DT. This can lock Tinder down for some time. He may just charge DT and one shot him too.

If you spec Maya into Thoughtlock, you can thoughtlock one of the little snowman. Tinder and the rest of the snowmen usually attack the thoughtlocked one first. It usually gives you 5-10 seconds where you can get some good damage.

Fire Lyuda and a bee shield is very effective. Even a fire Droog and a Bee shield are pretty good on TVHM.

The character is assassin lvl 36

just killed him and the answer was under my nose the whole time. at a weapon slot #3.
the rocket launcher.

[Nite69]

he has a glitched area

The left side the elevator lift as you are facing him, stay along the back wall next to it and he can't get to you, works for me about 90% of the time, sometimes his final blast when his health gets low hits me but not always

I use him to farm current level gear all the time because of that train that comes around with the 2 big chests full of loot

I have not played very much Zer0 and the last was a few years ago. I think its easy to B0re him with the little snowman always running in front of him.

Rocket Launchers work great in TVHM. Once you get to UVHM, most of them will start to fall off as being viable weapons. I don't think Zer0 has any synergy with launchers like he does with other guns. You really want to focus on getting criticals, melee, and or B0re.
