Guys, 1st post here.
Love the game, hope to be here for years to come.
As titles says, I have a problem against Tri Beam Attack when battling against Harbinger of fear (DODDDDGEEE THISSS).
there is no visual indicator for me - it is intended or it is a bug?
a lot of times it is created “inside” my voidknight, giving me little to know time do counter it. I can win easily (after memorizing all harbinger moveset) up to 450. When I reach 600 corruption the damage become so great that when the tribeam touch me I die.
With my build, the best counter I have is setting Erase Strike with Echoes to steal life, and hope that attack doesnot begin inside my char.
Sooooo…
a) You have any kind of advice against it? Some kind of positioning or tips?
(Rebuke is a great option that enables me to win, soh give me another tips please).
Woops was supposed to edit my last post, not delete.
Are you saying it’s spawning on top of you even if you aren’t near the boss? This may be a bug… from memory it is supposed to spawn in the middle of the room, for the harbinger. It always starts as an upside down Y. I try just stay around 3 o’clock the whole fight because it can spawn pretty quickly. One of the beams will spawn to the bottom left of you from that position and just follow it to the left Was very frustrating for me as well until I figured this out. Hope it helps!
Hopefully it’s right haha I haven’t done that fight in a while but I remember it. I remembered it being a normal Y but I just watched a quick vid and it’s upside down. Regardless, I do know it spawns the same position every time, so just figure out a spot to stand in that will be comfortable for you.
It does spawn in the centre of the room, as @Wiggzy89 said. The difference to the normal Ghaspar fight is that the harbinger does not teleport there, so you might happen to stand in that spot.
Therefore, avoid the centre at all cost and learn where the beam starts when it begins. This is a constant. Avoid those areas, too.
Your effective HPs are quite low, especially against dots. Maybe try to find an oracle amulet with a high roll on ‘less damage over time taken’ and added health. Swap the amulet for the bossfight if you struggle to survive. Yes, your damage will probably drop quite a bit, but dead characters deal 0 damage
Might bring you from something like 4.5k effective HP to 6.5k effective HP against DoT, allowing you enough time to survive the first tick or two and a tiny bit of wiggle room.
thanks for the reply, and yessss my char is very thin (I was always tanky in other ARPGS but now decided to go a little bit “melee glass canon”, what i know, is not something normal to do).
I will take these notes, and look for this amulet (i will be doing with other items to Swap if possible in the long run).
sooo, now its a lot easier, won easily with the tips:
The tri beam really has a static initial set, with the “3 hours” spot being the best place to be when it begins. Its possible to go there everytime you here the Harbinger Screaming about it.
Hope this helps other players with the same problem.
