I cannot, for the sake of my life, beat cedric. His second phase is infuriating, i'm clearly very rubbish at this game because my character is max level yet I still cant beat him. can anyone PLEASE help
I usually bring Cait along for her healing abilities and etheryn.
My at will is deflection, then i use rend and summon hoplite figurine, plus i have unbreakable.
okay I feel very stupid, I didn't know you could turn down the difficulty. With that being said, I managed to beat them.
Thank you all so much I really appreciate it.
First the Colosseum is designed to provide a series of combat-focused challenges.
Second, the character options are easily overlooked.
There's a big difference between feeling stupid, and being stupid.
The fact that you're troubleshooting excludes you from the latter category.
Do yourself a favour if you haven't already
scroll through the options to the bottom and change
Combat Flow Default to -> Manual
so that you can control your party members (who are not summons or guests)
From what you've posted, it looks like you've made a human warrior with the soldier background while using the [Dawnsword] as one of your weapons.
Your choice of powers is sub-optimal though.
*Your encounter power (1)Summon Hoplite.
Summons scale off - Leadership - which comes from presence/gear. 28 Leadership is a bit low for using summons.
A better choice would be (6)Bullrush, a power that lets you knockdown a target, while generating high threat even if you miss
* Recharge power (1)Rend -> applies bleed which is an excellent debuff. Bleed reduces healing received by 50% and deals armor ignoring dmg.
However the bleed from (1)Rend is easily outclassed by other sources.
Equip a [Kunai] in your offhand and you can apply bleeds with your weapon attacks/powers.
* Consider using (2)Lightning Fist [Recharge 4][Melee] - an attack with +25 accuracy that deals high crushing dmg and stuns for 1 turn.
Note (2)Lightning Fist isn't a wpn atk so you can use it even while disarmed. (6)Bullrush works the same way.
The flipside however is they don't gain any bonuses applied to your wpns specifically.
