Singe in solo

[luntacarsus]

I just beat Singe, and afterwards I looked him up and discovered that I could've cut his tail off for a weapon. How likely is it that I can get a tail cut fighting him solo? He spent most of the fight at the other end of the arena spitting fireballs at me - I don't recall him ever presenting his tail.

[Nope]

Very likely since the tail cut threshold is pretty low (about 1/4 of it health), I've cut multiple time in solo though it's a bit tricky

It's possible. Just gotta keep circling around him. eg:

I just cut off his tail solo less than an hour ago, first try (3rd time facing him). Mostly I just stayed at a medium-close range, strafing left and popping shots off whenever I had the chance. If you can bait his melee he'll be wide open afterward, but I was having trouble with the timing.

i used assault rifle, make sure you pump the trait that does bonus damage to weak points. pretty easy to shoot his tail off. just a matter of dodging and being able to sneak in a few shots, since his body moves quite a fair bit.

You can also use the mods that allow you to summon a minion to draw his attention.

[!?!]

Yeah it's not easy to hit but doable.
It takes about half the healthbar to be done.

If you're having trouble with the tail you could always just get the taunt flower mod from Shroud. It's been nerfed but should still give you a few easy tail shots.

You can even do it from the front with an accurate gun by shooting past his legs.

[Corseth]

Stay just out of his melee trigger range and within his front arc (so that he does fireballs instead). Eventually he'll wind up to do the sustained fire breath - run past him and go to town on his tail while he's doing this. He holds the fire breath for quite a while and you can get a lot of hits on the tail in before he tries to melee or fly.

I guess the obvious follow-up question is - is the weapon worth it?

[U_F_N_M]

It's easiest if you use Rattle Weed.

The weapon, Smoulder, is a sword that does Fire Damage and the charged attacks give a guaranteed Burning proc. It's average against fodder and the Proc is nice against stronger mobs and Bosses. Definitely not a Melee Build weapon though.

I personally enjoy it but find the visual effects very distracting. It has a glowing orange vfx constantly and when you have it out it emits smoke.

Pretty easy I feel. If you have the SMG, Devistator or spitefire the tail basically falls off as long as you keep moving. Singe's AI is pretty bad IMO. He's slow, and other than his sweeping breath attack his attacks are all easily avoidable. Pop some Adrenaline if you have any and run to his side and fire away buddy. Just watch for the ads.


As for is it worth it? I mean, get it for collections sake. it's fine against normal mobs, the burning proc can be nice against tougher mobs but it's nothing special imo. Looks nice though.
