Lord of light?

[54x]

What's the trick here? I've got two possible guesses, one is that we're supposed to just DPS fast enough that you can outpace his self-healing and kill him in the gap between his healings while having enough mana to last through, the other is that he eventually goes OOM and stops healing so it's more of an endurance check- is anyone past him to confirm?

From what I've seen, poison and burn are the way to go, relying on poison for damage (bypasses his 33% damage reduction) and otherwise outlasting him with multiple nurses and a mystic for mp sustain...but I'm not there - yet :)

Used 2 Nurses and 4 Carpenters to kill him without too much trouble.

Interesting. He seems to also be very resistant to status effects though, so maybe the MP sustain helps.

Oh? I was running the more advanced classes, so I'll disable my filters, try this, and report back. I can imagine the carpenter ability could help a lot pushing from 4k to 0.

edit: Nope this doesn't seem to do anything magic. Might be more about our respective equipment setups.

Well, if I remember right had okay equipment and my carpenters were decently leveled so that helped. I think ideally Mystic, couple Nurses, and then Dark Mages probably be the best line up to whittle him down with.

Carpenters should have the highest damage attack at 4x attack damage on their nail it ability.

Gear them for max attack (star gems or red gems help a lot) and they tear through his heal.

All dimension bosses have 90% status resist. Burn/Poison is how I took him down though. That was before the nerf to smite. You just gotta actually make burn/poison stick :P

[Brainy]

the trick is that you play an idle game, so play it like one.....i have no clue why you guys have this much trouble getting tru the story....i didnt craft anything and stayed with my team from the moment i got the thief......just farm like you would in other idle games, the bosses are doable without any tactic and crafting......

[Blackwolfe]

Well, ofc, if you farm more the bosses will be easier. Nothing strange about that. It's more fun trying to beat the bosses without extra farming though,

[Jade-Kun]

The problem for me is that Poison and Burn effects don't stay on The Lord of Light long (around 3 turns) before I have to try and stack it on him again; hes super resistant to these effects as well (around 90% if someone else 's post was right) so I wind up wasting my mana trying to poison and burn him and in that time hes gotten his heath back up to 7k with meditate and we start trying to wear him down all over again, losing mana and health in the process.

Healing bosses are not fun more so when they have unlimited mana and can spam it, and the main way to beat him is a measly 10% chance of posion and burning him? Hardly seems fair.

This has got to be the most stupid comment in 2020.
Trying to beat the bosses "without farming" is just hands down the most stupid thing one can do in this game.

It's an idle game. So idle it.
Pick 1 class exclusively and stick with that class.
It doesn't matter if you pick 6x huntress or 6x carpenter.

Since you gain massive amounts of experience for that single class. This class will hit lvl 50 in record time. Allowing you to spend essence instantly on their class relic making them overpowered instantly. Bruteforcing every single boss in record time completely afk. Just make them a script that is focused on killing speed. No 400 wall, not even a 600 wall.

Anyone wasting time on trying to play this game "actively" with nurses, mages or any other useless class is just dumb as a brick.

I beat this game in less than 2 days completely "afk" with 6 claw huntresses. Never used the shop/blacksmith or whatever except to build some claws.

Claw huntresses ripping an entire room in 1 second animation allow for some fast and early soul farming.

Well, I barely farmed pre-wd. None of my classes were 50 and I didn't do the quest for the doodle charm either. Dunno what is stupid about that. I enjoyed it. Now slowly working my way towards 1M (currently at 356k) and have just reached a point where I can clear a room with 2 claw. (used NCNCTX after I stopped needing ransack but switched to mag at about 300k)

I mean if people want to bruteforce bosses by farming more, that's fine.

Boss really is not a problem when you know he only resists poison and burn, not immune to them. Mystic (level 25+), 3 Nurses (level 25+) and 2 other characters, all with at least 400HP or with damage reduction (to survive 1 smite) can safely deal with him. Mystic keeps mana at full, nurses max HP after smite and poison the boss when he does not smite. The rest help deal some damage or try to apply poison and burn too.

You stacks them all the time, not only when he lost the effects. This refreshes the cooldowns, so you can keep effects on him permanently. Have mystic around to deal with MP problems.

Nah, yours beats it for a mile. Someone thinking that there is only one correct way to play the game is the stupid one.

I'm inclined to agree. Different people enjoy different playstyles and the only stupid thing is to think that your playstyle is the "correct" one and everyone else is playing the game "wrong"


That said, I'm somewhere in the middle (I farm a bit, but not focusing on it too much). This boss was a nightmare in that his healing was super-annoying. From my experience, I can tell that he seems to have infinite mana and is either highly resistant or dowring immune to most status effects (only managed to stun him once, no luck whatsoever with getting him poisoned or burned). Eventually, after quite a long battle, I managed to kill him by stunning him when he dropped to sufficiently low HP (so he couldn't heal back up).
I also noticed that his heals seem to be random, sometimes he will heal twice in a row, sometimes he will use his damage ability more and miss his chance... So I'd say keep farming or keep trying. Good luck!

ditto. went in manual, 2 nurses first, 4 carpenters, geared out in evasion suits (because every miss on me, mattered) nurses would either heal, group heal, or defend but never attack. carpenters did their thing (nailed it)

Yeap, carps are certainly the best choice for nuking him (and just about every other boss).
