"UPDATED again"
took them 3 years to return..
now lets see how can we beat them.
post here if you want to help create a plan and give suggestions to how can we fight the Ancient guardians ^^ give out your findings and suggestions so we can weaste as least sparks possible xD
They -
Resistant to every dmg type but normal a bit (i find it to be around 10%)
Imune to MINOR status effects..
Take reduced dmg when attacked from the back
they can be stuned by the shield bash
they easyly breake FREZE, STUN lasts realy realy short and SHOCK does nothing. FIRE is great, and its not known if its possible to curse him.
They fight -
By smashing you in the face
jk
Charge attack that deals pure normal dmg, and it can stun you
Ground slam witch has masive AOE and deals normal dmg.
they can also hurt healers, other fiends, eachother when they ground smash, they can also activate explosives.
their alternative attack is launching crystal chunks at you that
Do percing dmg and stun you once they land (this is where movment speed saved my life plenty of times), and do elemental and shock dmg once you walk on them
My findings -
Haze bombs wont work
Blitz is a hard pcik as you wont have time to charge easyly or move around so you accept that you WILL die if you use it
Having at least medium movment speed is amazing to doge the crystal chunks
it is possible to TANK tortodrones with ancient plate armor as it has mazive normal deffense, if you stay close to tortodrones they wont launch their cristal shards but bash you and charge you insted. this way armor is perfect as those attacks are normal and sun aline, you wont take much dmg. shield i recomand is omega / ancient plate / new grand tortose if you want to play bate (im doing this and its suprisingly efective)
My suggestions (im still reserching)
armors like Iron might and Ancient plate are decent picks. extra dmg or hp trinkets are good dependin on your role.
stack on some stun or shock resist, arena has EVERY type of dmg/ normal from tortose charges. percing from their shards, elemental from shards that you walk across and shadow from fiends. for this you can make almost any set to cover dmg and deffense depending on what you have most trouble with.
its possible to solo the big guy, i done it using only 1 spark.
i used -
chaos cloack/perfect mask of serus
ancient plate shield (ironmight is also a good pick)
Valiance/Magma Driver/Calahane/Barbarous Thorn Blade
Tips -
attack and kill all fiends exept for healer (he cant folow up with tortoses speed and will die soon anyway from their attacks)
keep your distance, valaiance and calahane are good to fight normaly, and seting on fire is also a good idea.
if you see them chargeing and shoting their minerals move away and focuse on avoiding their attacks until they calm down. pokeing them with few shots here and there is good way to go, its not profesional but its good enough to help you win. if you are every far away from them both make a moment and charge your magma d. focuse on them 1 at a time and avoid activating explosives. you should be good to go if you have some experience with them
brandish type of weapons and alchimers are good weapons to use in the fight. all normal speed weapons are good. i dont recomand DA and such slow weapons unless you have high attack speed
give ideas and your findings let us work like a team and make a plan.
also im realy sorry about my horrible spelling
Blitz isn't suicide just gotta be sure you're far enough away that you can get out of the way first, then fire.
Although valiance is good too for mobility.
You can also avoid getting stunned if you have enough stun resistance, too bad there are no stun trinkets so you have to have UVs or use your sprite perk.
