That's it
This tirck / combo might not be the *best* way to win, but it's definitly the easiest. It seems like no one has post a guide yet so I'll share what I find here.

1. get purge() with crash() + breach() upgrade.
2. hold down the attack button.
3. win.


The core idea:
  • purge() : auto-tracking + mild poison (your only damage source)

  • purge() & breach() : both function has a fairly long range, combined makes you out range the copy.

  • purge() & crash() : crash() provide a 1 second stun, and purge() netural fire rate is more than 1 shot per second, which will result in a perma-stun.




Some tips:
  • If you want to speed things up you could do things like putting void() as passive or use mask() in between attacks for the unmask bonus.

  • Backing yourself into a corner before you start the combo will prevent you from moving due to firing purge().

  • The Boss will not use Turn() if you are far enough. if you struggle with the positioning(which is very easy), try using Mask() to reposition or simply stand in a corner and eat a full Turn() of damage, the boss will run away from you. Start firing when the boss is out of you max range and it will run right into your stuns later.

Purge(Breach()) with passive Get() also lets you get those pesky protected cells (not corrupted) from halfway across the battleground while fighting, because Purge() homes and bounces between them.

This is almost as hilarious as Switch(Spark, Help).

I also like how both Breach and Crash are required to make this work, as I firmly believe that every build should include those two functions somewhere (would YOU uninstall your own function? Or the function of the person you love ? I didn't think so).

This was brilliant (and saved a ton of frustration after dying to Royce a few times.)
Thankyou! :-D

Yeah, really OP combination, too bad the range on it doesn't even reach your clone in the higher levels, but hey, whatever works

Easy win, Void + Crash, Tap + Load, Mask
Void 3 times, Tap once
rinse, repeat, mask when it's time for Royce's turn. Never died

might not be the best, but definitly the easiest :P

Several function combinations result in a one hit kill, so it's not really that useful to cheese Royce anyway. I did use this combo to get the "all limitations" achievement though.
