![]() While two Raiders wail on you and Vvulf stresses you out. The only way you get two turns without bombs for killing the barrel once is if you kill it after Vvulf has already performed all his actions for the round.Īnd if you use mark for that, you just used half your team just to get rid of the bomb. Vvulf will use Bombs Away! if there's a barrel at the start of the round, and he'll always use Get Them! if there's no barrel. Vvulf drops mark-related loot, is an actual outlaw a bounty hunter would pursue, and the area is full of humans, so I felt this was probably the intended way to fight him. (Because Vvulf can't use a barrel on the same round it's summoned.) The barrel is easy to kill, the riposte is low and completely avoidable if you want to 1-shot it with mark, and killing it gets rid of it for two turns. I find the MAA overrated, especially when he can't bring his camp buffs, and wonder if he only became popular because the mechanic reminds people of Prophet. I brought a mark squad and killed the barrels. ![]() Originally posted by patrol:The man at arms strategy goes out the window if Vvulf decides to throw 2 bombs instead of one xD The bug reappeared with Butcher's Circus, and was only recently fixed again. In Darkest Dungeon, there are ALWAYS other options, aside from trying to no-death the final darkest mission. Vulf is fond of guarding his allies too, iirc, so that means your frontline nukers can still potentially smack him if he's at the back. A highly mobile party with a tank somewhere in the ranks could easily simply use their own mobility attacks/general movement to get the tank where he's needed, albeit that would potentially be basically wasting most of a round to do so, but still an option, if not as easy. There are also things like Aegis Scales from the Shieldbreaker DLC or just using shieldbreaker's mobility alongside serpent's sway. Those like Leper or Crusader, as mentioned before. That said, people overfocus on the cheese strat that is MAA, and don't consider how usable other 'tank' heroes can be. IIRC Vulf can't launch multiple bombs, so it's theoretical. Leper with Withstand/crusader with bulwark also gets a pretty significant protection buff, and a 3rd line antiquarian utilizing 'protect me' offers a mobile guarded option for theoretical multiple bombs as well. That said, the only one off the top of my head that can mark a separate ally is Antiquarian, so probably not the best option to bring, although the party buffing can be quite useful in a lot of situations, dpsing a boss isn't one of them. Keep the MAA marked (assuming marking does in fact work as the tooltip indicates, it's been a while since I wikied anything about this game) and guarding, and the odds of 2 becoming a problem drastically reduces. Originally posted by patrol:The man at arms strategy goes out the window if Vvulf decides to throw 2 bombs instead of one xD I mean, there are some classes with skills that can ally mark. Just like every boss-fight in the game, Wolf is pretty cheeseable, but cheesing is not mandatory, just infinitely easier than the alternatives if you want to avoid losses. There's really no point as they will riposte you and respawn anyway, hence MAA is the go-to so he can soak bombs instead. Some people make the mistake of attacking the bomb barrels. You don't absolutely HAVE to use one, but they heavily dampen the impact of bombs and allow you more freedom to manage adds or pump damage into Wolf. Optimally, people have an MAA (a dedicated bomb-soaker) - bombs being the biggest damage threat of the fight. If you have limited projection, this is a must. Adds aren't the main threat but they are a constant nuisance if you ignore them. Optional methods are to have a squad that can AoE adds and keep Wolf up front. The longer the fight goes on, the more damage and stress will be done via bombs, adds and screams, so you really need to make sure you can hit him whenever possible (starting at the back ranks) and kill him as soon as possible. Most comps are 'viable' if they have a means of pumping damage onto Wolf.
