WHat are good heroes to deal with armored bosses?
I know multi attack heroes are good. But what I wanna know is which champions have abilities that help in this.

The only one that I noticed is Gazrick. Are there more?

Ezmerelda and Hew Maan (depending on positioning) will make other champions remove more armor segments per attack

Ezmeralda is such a trash hero. At least I've never managed to make her work

Well, I'd agree that her usefulness is pretty situational, but armored bosses are one of those situations, and that's what you asked about...

If you ask - chose and invest in Hew-Maan first. You'll use him as speed champion (primary), anti-armor (buffer+ult) and general DPS buffer. And then you can look at Corazon ult, Krull and Donaar. This 4 champs + debuffers can melt almost any armor.

Agree with previous comments about Hew Maan. All-around utility is very high. Make him/them(?) your priority.

Lately I've been working with Gazrick as his Armor Ablation ability is good vs armor. Double up with his ability if you're picking him specifically for anti-armor support. Since he's a newer champion his levels may not be what you need them to be at.

I also go with Asharra since she is multi-hit. It's not always against the same target , but if it's a boss and you can clear the regular stuff out, then everything will work against the armor stacks. You should likely have Avren in this kind of formation, so his multi-hit will help. Also, if using Gazrick he helps with Asharra Short Folk group, so easy to work into the formation strategy together with Hew Maan.

Last, Melf's ability can cause the boss to spawn with less armor. This is random, so not something to plan on. But, you're using Melf in the formation, it's could be an added bonus if it lands on that boss level.

Hey I'm sorry if it looked like i was complaining. I just don't know how to use her very well. Though that you might have a different opinion and could give me a tip or two.

I appreciate your answer to my question.

I've been trying to making Asharra work since the nerf, but I'm having very little sucess. So far my best DPS is Zorbu and I really struggle with him against armored enemies. The things is, at certain point, I begin to wipe enemies on the screen and go up the stages, but my BUD dmg doesn't follow enemies HP. So I end up with BUD dmg at 195e and enemies with over 220e HP. So my ultimate attacks don't really help against anyone anymore and I need to kill everything with attacks. When an armored boss arrives and he is the only one left on the screen, my part simply cant put the dmg necessary to wipe his armor chuncks.

Asharra is going to be dependent on having the right champions to reach the new requirement. This is my current arrangement:
Potpourri: Asharra (duh), Gromma, Makos, Havilar (she seems to offer better dps buff than Tyril even though his ilevel is much higher)
Short-folk: Deekin, Widdle, Freely, Hew Maan (will move around based on armored boss)

I'll add ing Avren and Melf as possible, favoring Avren over Melf unless I'm in speed mode.

I'm missing some power from before the nerf because I hadn't invested in Deekin much. He's been a good speed champion, but his speed isn't buffed by ilevel so I hadn't done much there. Again, it's all going to be dependent upon what you want the formation to do and which champions you have available. If you don't have enough per slot to fill 4 & 4 for Asharra bonds now, then it's going to be rough to max her power curve.

I use Corazon ultimate ability for break any armoured bosses

Call me crazy, but Jaheira has helped me a lot with armored bosses. Her ult (insect plague) does tons of hits. Unless they get too close, but there is plenty of knockback champs to use for that.

Yep, it's DoT, and it's powerful.

I also find Shaka's Wall of Disintegration surprisingly useful for that purpose, particularly in combination with BUD spiking.

Why my BUD dmg doesn't follow my enemies HP?

I mean, at certain point in the game I start killing enemies with over 220e dmg but my BUD dmg stay around 195e.

So my ultimamte abilities just become useless

You're probably using a formation with debuffers & spread damages (like Krull)
kab_reg May 20, 2022 @ 4:26pm 
You can circumvent it by using champions like Penelope or Blooshi. Their ultimate attacks can overkill enemies up to e30 over BUD. Alternatively, use champions, who can spike BUD/regular damage, e.g. Artemis or Alyndra.
