Frequently Asked Questions

[Damage Down] How strong is the damage down debuff in this fight?

The Damage Down debuff in this encounter lowers a player's damage by 38% for 30 seconds.

Troubleshooting

[Barbarous Barrage] I keep getting the angle slightly off, and get knocked out the arena with the last tower!

It's tempting to stand near the center of the tower to maximise your distance to the edge, but doing so makes your knockback angle much more sensitive to your positioning (increasing the chance you get knocked enough sideways out of the arena).

Stand towards the outer end of the tower instead. This makes your knockback direction less sensitive to your positioning, and the knockback distance isn't enough to throw you out of the arena.
