this a weird, question, but do you guys have troubles with the king of the puppies?, yes i´m talking of the lord of annoyance...ROARMULUS TWINS...!!!
no matter how many times, ppl say is an easy boss, i say bullcrap!!!, i´D rather face vanaduke with proto gear, and is not only the boss, its like a curse, not matter how prepared or, how skifull my crew are, always happen something which only purpose is made my life impossible, the pc fails, the internet fails, i have to go to the bath room, and i end kicked or something, seriously those two are trolling me in the real life; i simply cannot kill him, or reach him, and when ppl say : "oh but is the easiest even compared to snarby", i really want to pass the language filter and the screen of my computer to destroy everything1!!!
-well now i feel more calm

I know that feeling... but not to such a degree

Anyways, I'll tell you a little story from last week:
-I had 100 mist. I decided to just rage craft a Prismatech Alchemer, then decided to do a IRM run. I decided to just go solo it since nobody was interested in teaming up. It was my first time doing IFM/RT in literally months, I had gotten bored from it earlier. Well, I run through the first two levels quite easily, no deaths, just with my Glacius (no other weapon needed). Then I got to the dreaded Twins. I thought, "Ppshh, this'll be easy." I got the first rocket to hit just fine, as I used to. Then I unloaded with my Glacius. I got the second rocket to hit, after 2 minutes of dreading because my timing was always slightly off. After, it took me 6 minutes or so to get the next rocket to hit. You can obviously tell I'd be frustrated, Vanaduke the boss, could be quicker overall. One more rocket to go! It took 3 minutes, but it felt like an hour. When I killed the twins I run up the stairs in glee, only to find my boxes mostly filled with useless materials, not even crowns or heat ;_;
-Anyways, chill. They can be frustrating, either don't do them again, or learn to do it.

Pauling said, "Bring teammates."

I don't like teaming with people for IMF... because I met too many who failed to stick to the rules:

1. Appoint one and only switch operator (preferably one with skill and stable connection)
2. All others steer clear of the switches.
3. You cannot switch for others with a significant difference in latency. The wall is down for you, but not yet for them. When you do need to switch walls to let people pass through, give people a good buffer, not switch it immediately after you think they went past.

Swordies that don't know how wide the swing of their own swords are, gunners that can't aim, bombers that blast switches as well. These people will make getting through the first two levels a living hell.

I just kill the boss and then get tokens when I go there, no need to bring team mates or appoint a switch operator. Its faster if you just win.

Aim where they will be, not where they are.

Look, when both twins are moving, there are four rules to rockets:

1. If they are both firing at each other, let the first-firing side's rockets through.
2. If there are rockets down the middle, then let them through, subject to 1.
3. If there is one shielded twin, let his rockets through every time, and now ignore 1.
4. If none of these apply, let any old set of rockets through.

These instructions, in this order, can make me do the Twins in less than five minutes while soloing.

I still don't get it.....

Can it take forever to kill? Yes.

Is there a real danger of getting hit even once? nope if you have patience.

"the pc fails, the internet fails, i have to go to the bath room, and i end kicked or something,"
These are 'external' factors. Twins are easy, dont blame them for your crappy life issues.

Wow, this is just sad.

The Twins ARE easy for a variety of factors already discussed. If you keep dying in groups, then how about.. idk, SOLOING? My guild just recently had a little competition to see if you can kill a partner, both in proto gear, while fighting (such as moving switches to direct rockets.

And afterwards, we STILL beat them with one 5* player, and 2 of us in FULL proto.

Reason 1: Patience

Reason 2: I can waste CE like an idiot.

Reason 3: They arent hard.

In fact the 5* referee of the game went AFK on one of the phases, and we STILL survived for the 5 minutes.

Its not hard, maybe you just lack the requirements to defeat it; whether that be equips, patience, external issues listed by Jaunces, or skill.

Good luck next time!
