Do anyone have advice about Arista?

[somethingthing]

I'm stuck at this boss. I have no problem getting there but everytime I kinda know that its a death and a respawn waiting. Tried both long range and short range. I am around level 8-10 on the characters and got quite a lot of upgrades so by know i shouldn't be underpowered for it but maybe even the opposite.

How am I supposed to kill this one? Do you kill the things growing out of the ground or just focus on the boss? Im lost. :/

I've managed to both solo it and do it with a bud, but I do feel like having good equips and not letting up with your damage is big. Clear out plants as they spawn, focus on the boss elsewise, and stay out of the poison aura stuff if you can? It's one that feels easy to do but I almost die every time. Gotta remember to use them potions too

When concentrating on the plants as they spawn i get overwhelmed after a little while and don't get time to do damage to the boss and then the other things start coming out of the ground and it's game over. I will try to just upgrade damage a couple of rounds and see how it goes, do you have any recommendation of a class and weapon that will be the easiest way around the boss? Thanks for your answer!

The boss is kind of a race to have enough dps/mobility to kill the plants and get some dmg into the boss before he summons more of them. Stay out of the flying thingy and the thorn spikes, and during the last ~quarter you can ignore the plants and just move non-stop to avoid the spikes and finish him.

Which class do you play? I think I had quite a different experience with different classes, paladin was quite slow, but mostly safe; warrior was super easy because the whirlwind just decimated the boss.

I started with Paladin with mace and shield, first time I didn't know about the aura, but on the second I'd upgraded my weapon and armor training and had 2 potion slots, which may have been enough for the time?
Second class I won with was ranger with crossbow and short sword, both at good levels at the time though. That one I was able to always be able to do damage, whether it was melee when it was mainly just Adds, or using the crossbow when I was dodging things again. Since I tended to roll the Mark with bonus dmg vs bosses, I usually did that and than rushed in for good dps again with the mark boosting it again? The shortsword is also real good for clearing the danger grass when it spawns a lot of that during the poison spinner as well

u should upgrade blacksmith and gear . arista is the ez guy in this game

uuuuuuh i got it without even sweating now. Went in on a lot of armor and damage with warrior but some of it might be luck with upgrades during the run aswell, did not even need to use a potion and I was moving away from the boss like 2 times during the fight. The first two bosses was ezpz but the third is one i will probably struggle with for a while.

thanks for all your advice!
