As a typical glass-cannon Marksman, I’ve bee really struggling with certain Champions, namely Pharran and Radamasa, especially when their potion wells dry up. I decided to drop a couple of Ballistas in his Reduced Damage from Distant Enemies bubble…and they actually killed the SOB faster that I was.
For the most part, I’ve let my Explosive Traps drop the occasional Ballista, but now I guess I’ll have to rethink my Boss/Champion strategies. This has been a very pleasant surprise.
I’m not sure it has, but if you’re outside the bubble then your traps won’t do much damage. The bubble is a hard counter to the player staying at range.
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been experiencing. At least with the Ballistas planted close I can get in some much-needed damage. I’ve also got the Crossbow Mercenary as another distraction.
Unfortunately, I still struggle with Pharran because my old eyes can’t see his hail of arrows very well.
Have you thought of using Decoy to taunt the champion & then you can stay under the bubble.
I’ve tried Decoy on past builds, just can’t get used to it.
