I beat hauani whe with gambit rogue

[Darab Masood]

I used a streetfighter's superspeed with gambits interrupt to stunlock hauani o whe to death. Then I used summons to separate the splits and was able to quickly burst down one by the time the other one crawled close. My accuracy was 50 points above hauani so I never grazed.

I also beat belranga by using aldris blade and devil of Caroc and abraham Healing + dawnstar blessing on the small spiders. Then I toxic striked her continously with the use of an empower and eventually the DOT became very strong and killed her.

Auranic was the easiest. I interrupted her to death, then chugged potions while destroying sigils. The total immunity of shark soup and slippery mind probably helped. My reflex was also very high so the chain lightning didn't hurt much.

This was on a no rest run.

What summons? Ok i know they are figurines but what figurines precisely?

[Darab Masood]

The ones I had at hand. Jade tiger and knapped scoria did the trick.

I beat dorudugan too. Max intellect. Ooblit. Power level. Chaincasted blade cascade with dual scordeos in vanishing strikes invisibility. The trick is to turn on penetrating strikes in cascade. It procced a lot after I did that.

Ooblit = ?

[Darab Masood]

Yeah pet from forgotten sanctum

[Chaospread]

Thanks but penetrating strikes is a fighter's ability.

The modal of sabres was meant I guess. Windmill Slash. You gain +2 PEN for +50% recovery. But since Blade Cascade is active the recovery malus doesn't matter.

[Darab Masood]

Yes windmill slash. Its the holy grail of builds. Great for trash mobs, great for base and dlc bosses, and can even solo ALL the megabosses. Most builds are good for some but not all megabosses or they have great aoe damage at the expense of single target damage. It does not even require an extensive setup before taking on bosses.

How do you maintain bloodied/flanked status all the time?

Dorudugan has 21 slash AR in potd, I think - I don't see how can you penetrate his armor with Scordeo's Edge even with Windmill Slash activated... Also Vanishing Strike can last maybe 15s with optimized gear/stats thus you can use at most 6 times with Empower. It's hard to believe that Dorudugan can be killed under 90s.

[Darab Masood]

Oh i maintain bloodied by getting whacked by hauani o whe once. I beat it in normal difficulty thats why. Anyway you can see it in the picture. With zero recovery you hit what once or twice a second ? 6000 health x 0.75.(I used the special dagger.) Thats about 4500 damage to do. Which comes to about 25 to 50 damage per second. Which is reasonable for sneak attacking rogue. I also had adaptive so i had superb accuracy. Anyway its legit cause you see the screenshot and my attack log records it. heres a pic of my buffs if that helps. I had 136 accuracy in the hauani o whe fight so likely higher in the doru fight. which is higher than dorus deflection. And yes is true most of my hits where done at -75% damage. But i was fast and i had a lot of damage bonuses so that didnt matter.

Due to the way Deadfire processes damage maluses, in order to balance out a -75% dmg malus you'd need about +300% damage bonuses. I'm pretty sure you can't cobble that together consistently even as a Streetfighter. So I'd say it does somewhat matter. Though not enough to not be able to beat Dorudugan apparently.

Who says you need all of it ? just a reasonable amount. 10-20% from might. 75% from sneak attack  50% from streetfighter. So more like 150% bonus. That means about half as much damage

I don't know. Nobody as far as I can tell.
