I don't understand Grandparents

[Rally]

Their orb AoE kills me no matter what. It's basically an instant game over if they use it. I can hide from the orb, run out of the area, and do both, and it still just melts my health. Seems super broken.

[Patchy (sick)]

one simple tip: if you are fast enough, you can kill them before they kill you.

Honestly I feel the same. Super unfair gameplay wise, if you don't have enough speed items (let's be fair, first loop you won't kill it fast enough on a regular run without lunar items) you'll just be melted. Maybe there's a way to counter it that I've missed?

by meaning "kill them before they kill you" i mean "kill them before they even get a chance to use any abilities. in our case, it's grandparent automatically using Solar Flare after getting below 50% of his health.

So basically if they spawn, you lose.

Yeah anyways they need to be patched, it's basically a random chance to just end your run.

So far, I died to grandparents only 3 times through my 400+ hour save.
Idk, how they do even end runs, it's just a counter against those players who don't utilize cover properly

If you hide it still does damage.

You need to stand under something in the shadow iirc

Their Solar Flare attack applies burn and the overheat debuff which makes burn do extra damage as well as last longer depending on the amount of stacks you've accrued by staying within line of sight of the center of the ball. Your options are run, hide, kill the grandparent, heal faster than you're dying, remove your debuffs with your abilities, Like Void Fiend's Trespass, or use a Blast Shower. Just don't get hit by it.

Run, hide, and kill don't work, as I've stated. Heal faster depends on run build, and we build for Mithrix, not GP, remove bebuffs is also random chance.

So basically it's a dice roll check. No place in a game like this.

Run, hide, and kill do work, you're just doing it wrong.

Thats great man, can you explain what I'm doing wrong? That's the point of the thread.
