Admiralty defense OP!

[GarryOfRiva]

Im sorry i know im gonna come off as whiny and theres probably a way around it but 9 times out of 10 when i fight admiralty they buff themselves up with up to 20+ defence and i have no way of dishing any damage unless i stack wound or bleed, in the meantime they can dish as much damage as they want (hammer guys up to 18!) while most of your low cost cards do around in my case 4-6 damage which just hits the defence and then i just get owned. makes choosing spree over admiralty a real challenge but maybe this is just me. Would love to hear how you deal with this cause this just cost me the final fight after 4 hours of a good run....and my good puppy K-9 :(

What Prestige are you on?
Generally I try to have as many people in my party as possible. It makes fights soo much easier. Not only do they damage, but more importantly: they tank some damage.

Im just on prestige 1 after may times playing with sal and just reached the fight in the entrance to the auction with the admiralty, now to be fair i did manage to beat them with 2 companions and a drone i summoned but they made sure to kick the everliving crap out of me before the final boss.I just felt like i could do nothing vs the defence buffs.

Seems like you already found a solution to your problem before you even wrote this.

Hmm, well it's hard to say. I personally didnt have a problem fighting them. Did you build up your Battle Deck properly? What direction did it go? If its a Bleed deck it shouldnt have been too hard, especially considering that Defense wears off after a turn.

I think it was just fine, i made sure to fight alot in order to get good cards and upgrade them but in the end it didnt seem to matter much, and Atma while i admit it does help you can only have so much bleed from cards, and wound was even rarer in my case it was lucky i had my poocher that did +2 wound each attack.

They have a buff that you can knock off and keep off, so they wont get as much defense. You just gotta hit them once.

Yea never forget to ALWAYS read the ui

I managed to do it w/ a ton of bleed cards + a graft that let me heal every time I applied a bleed, and another graft that also applied bleed to all enemies.

You're right, that a lot of it is RNG of course, but I was just saying that those are a couple good methods of trying to overcome the defense.

I think i did miss that Ui and didnt read it, ill try on my next run. Thank you everyone who dedicated time to help me figure this out! :D

If they have the formation buff you have to hit them once to get rid of it or they will gain the defense. This applies to the entire team so it's important to get rid of it, especially if there's more than one enemy with formation because you don't want it stacking.
