Amazing play bro! Very good moves

Replay from Falx for future reference. Boss summon RNG in this fight can mess you up if they start in the top left corner, but this arrangement works nicely in all other circumstance on this map. Wheeling Rho back round South of the boss and blocking him in with Sho in the third round definitely could be improved on - getting Rho into the top left corner allows him to block spawns and not get pushed back, and you could keep Sho at range 3 so his drone deploys at range 4 and doesn't get hit by the Wrath of Khaine Unleashed. Also, in the final round there was an opportunity to get Tan to trigger 5 summons on his independent attack rather than just 4, but that's very minor.

New starting arrangement against Magnus on this map. Averaging roughly 300k damage per battle over 3 battles so far despite ballsing up one of my attacks to a certain extent. The far right hand Rubric marine is not attacked to ensure it blocks Magnus from moving far out from his starting area to make it easier to box him in later. I prefer to not deploy Aleph's ability in the first turn now as it leads to too many loose variables with Scarab RNG. One especially annoying thing about having scarabs running rampant early is that if a Terminator is uninjured, there comes a point where they prefer to target Magnus over his adds if he has lost a significant chunk of health, which can unintentionally trigger Rho and screw up your attack by attracting the Gaze of Magnus onto him way too early. Saving it for the second turn means you get very little variation in scenarios in the first couple of rounds and that Magnus should be pretty easy to get next to high ground. Also, you keep the high piercing of the active to deal a decent chunk of damage to the Terminator. I think there is still room for refinement in killing the Terminators as you want them alive into the third round to keep the scarabs from hogging high ground. Quite a lucky run, but backing Magnus into a corner stacks the deck in your favour.

Learning so much from this channel. Keep it up.

Great vid. Wish I hadn’t been afk during the Mechanicum release, slowly catching up but this is amazing

Unbelievably detailed. Such good guides. Much appreciated.

Thank you, your videos are always really helpful !

I thought this replay was worth sharing as it gives a good example of the benefit of firing spore mines into the top left hand corner; they block the spawn point for two turns rather than just one. This allowed me to stop any boss summons from spawning at all in the last couple of rounds and really keep my own summons focused on mobbing the boss, giving Rho lots of extra hits and Tan lots of friendly units to trigger with Conqueror mode. I may have been better off using Rho's active in the penultimate round here, and I may do so in a similar situation in the future to see what difference it makes.

Bad Scarab and boss summon RNG cost me a lot of my swarms here, I think in future I may move Aleph to the South of the Warlock and deploy her active, giving the Warlock a more favourable (to me) route to move out via. The spore mine I spawned in the first round is redundant anyway, so perhaps I could bait the Warlock into moving South with a mine and give the scarabs a bit more of a chance to survive the Wrath of Khaine Unleashed. Aside from that, I think the underlying strategy here is fairly sound.

Doesn't play too differently to the L2 Avatar, though the toughness of the Warlocks demands a different opening strategy. Skitarii have a fair chance of being one-shotted by The Wailing Doom Sweeps so I don't worry too much about keeping them alive and spawning the maximum number - I'll pivot toward triggering Sniper Drones and scarabs with Tan if necessary. A couple of misclicks may have cost me, such as making Aleph heal herself instead of an adjacent Skitarius and moving Sho adjacent to Tan in the final round, but nothing too Earth-shattering.

Incredible

Amazing dude as always

Great title, dipshit - yeah, I know. Grandpa's too tired and cranky to figure this one out. I adapted the opening setup from a guildmate (sort of) who nicked it from someone else but I think it deserves to be shown nonetheless as it gets Szarekh into a position where you can really shut down his summoning nicely. The spore mines used for baiting are somewhat vulnerable to Deathmarks, as was my sniper drone, but I lucked out with it not being critted - something to be wary of. One thing that works nicely here is using Tan's Conqueror mode to manipulate Sho'syl into spawning sniper drones next to him, neat little trick that works for me.

i love you man, muuuuuchas gracias!!

Amazing hit

thanks soo much, the omnissiah bless you always

The ability to reach across the map and kill stragglers and corner campers looks clutch. Wish I had Thaddeus. I topped out at 27,000. Great run by you.

Great stuff! If only my stupid Eldry stopped dying even being d3 😂

With the way this attack goes, the first three turns are very predictable but then Scarab replication and the question of Eldy surviving two melee strikes (D3 stats are essentially the minimum requirement for this) come into play. This was my first attempt at this particular map so I'm sure there are improvements to be made. I could have used Rho's active later, but I was worried that Eldy would be killed in the fourth turn so I just hedged my bets a little there.

Excellent run with some great plays, GG!

Hey, when the boss uses The Wrath of Khaine Unleashed, most of your units are not knocked back (I see only Actus and A0 getting pushed), how do you manage to do that?

This was such a great video and I thank you for these!

The starting setup for my team gets my full seal of approval, it got me the high ground for Rho on 4/5 attempts, the only exception being Rho getting teleported off of the high ground and trapped in a corner. I'm fine with Rho attacking Magnus with four rounds to go as he can survive taking two hits from the Gaze of Magnus - as long as Aleph has healed him sufficiently beforehand, as was the case here. I think it's best to avoid using Sho's active in the first turn as if the Gaze hits him in the second turn, Sho's drone may take the hit and die as seen here - you don't want your mechanical summons getting killed off

Quite a few attacks have been made in the guild in this starting arrangement and it seems to be pretty good for opening up attacks on Magnus from the high ground one way or another, though the route to get there can be quite fraught and requires good control of boss movement. I made sure to leave the enemy terminators with plenty of health to ensure that my Scarab swarms wouldn't attack Magnus too soon and hog the high ground before Rho could get there.

Whit spore you can cancel de resurrection from the scarab🥸

Great replay!

Opening setup of characters and summons means that Magnus can either simply stay still or move adjacent to high ground which Rho can then exploit. Moving Aleph into position to heal Rho a little earlier as well as preventing Magnus from being able to block off and isolate Rho may be possible and could help Rho potentially survive two consecutive hits from the Gaze of Magnus. An extra turn of attacks from Rho could get some pretty high damage numbers, though there is the obvious caveat of RNG here. Credit to Falx for the replay.

The level of the boss relative to my characters and summons makes it easy to body block without too much worry. Keeping a shell of summons around Tan and not moving him too far from them at any point is important to make sure that he is able to get plenty of summon activations with conqueror mode even when the boss lays down fire everywhere and makes the map a pain to traverse. I may have been able to position Rho better for this fight because I was hedging my bets by making sure that he'd still be able to hit the boss regardless of whether it moved or not - didn't have time to predict whether it would. Rho's active is used in the third-to-last round as I am able to prevent enemy summons from spawning in the penultimate round, so I know my summons will be purely focused on attacking the boss, which means many procs of Rho's passive.

I'd like to try out Anuphet instead of Sho'syl but he's still too weak - Sho does a pretty good job anyway. Getting the boss positioned as I did and moving Rho into the top left corner of the map stops Guardians from spawning there and makes them easier to control. I should have baited the second Wailing Doom Strikes SE instead of S by moving Sho'syl appropriately, as that way Sho would have been free to shoot in the following turn and also I would probably have only lost a single summon rather than two Scarab swarms.

Incredible attention to detail and analytics. Bloody hell . Nice one. Am a beginner, bringing a haphazard mech team online and this breakdown of mechanics has been hugely useful. Thank you.

Good learning tool with this breakdown. Nice one and thank you.

A couple of major mistakes were made by me here. First up was thinking that I could use the Biovore's active in the penultimate round to surround the boss with wea mines and distract it from killing Rho; I forgot that if there are 3+ mines on the map, you can't spawn any more with the active. I ended up having to get Re'vas hit by the Wailing Doom Strikes so that she was heavily injured to the point where the boss killed her instead of Rho. My other mistake was just me being a dumbass and nearly getting Actus killed in the penultimate round for no good reason - easily could have kept him out of the way.

*WARNING* I appreciate that the total length of my videos on this boss is very long, and if you were to watch just one of them then I recommend you watch my battle talkthrough video rather than this one, thought the look at the boss's stats and abilities at the start of this video may be quite useful. If you want a deeper look into the many factors to consider when placing your characters during your first turn, as well as a look at the quirks of some of the boss's moves, then this will contain some pertinent information.

In the video, I direct the viewer to watch my videos on the Preliminaries of fighting this boss, but I think this stands well enough on its own that you really don't need to unless you want examinations that go into extreme detail. They exist for the sake of completeness, but hopefully this is more than enough to do by itself. If you want examples of how to bait the boss next to high ground, check out my videos in my Avatar of Khaine playlist on this channel

Well done ! You have better results with Sho rather than Aethana ?

Really looking forward to this event and you’ve gave some great insights as always I’ll be looking out for your runs on this event. Tan is definitely top 3 character in the game so getting tan shards will benefit everyone

My Skitarii killing the guardians in two attacks with a 50% chance to make the second flee means this is a very RNG-laden strategy. Nevertheless, I at least was able to close the Avatar down and keep it adjacent to the high ground in almost every one of my attacks, the only difference being how many summons I had to play with after all its AoE attacks. I definitely would not recommend an Admech team against this level of Avatar, but it can be brute forced to work at least somewhat with D2/3 characters. Your Skitarii will almost certainly die from the boss's abilities regardless of their level. Blocking Guardians from spawning in the final round with Re'vas helped to improve my result over previous runs, as often they will distract most of your summons, especially if your Scarab swarms have been reduced to 1/2 members each and deal hugely reduced damage.

Cheers Unapp - I’ll get Abraxas passive up to 35 and Toth passive raised - looks doable with that a a bit of RNG

I pass with gold one abrazas and yazhagor bronce one an the other bronce 3, but this part i can not win with the three alive

Very nice man. This map was the first difficult one for me in the campaign and I have a G2 Abraxas and an S2 Yaz.

Thanks a lot - your method worked for me on my first try!

Deathmarks distracting my summons are the biggest killers of damage output against Szarekh, so I position my team aggressively at the start to put them in the best position to easily take out Deathmarks if Szarekh summons them as his first move. I reduce his second summoning action down to a single Deathmark by blocking off the majority of the spawn points with characters and summons, which really minimises the impact the summon ability has on my team.

Thanks i do 520k with some of this ideas : )

Agreed

My problem with Titus and his passive, which seems tailor made (and indeed was) for this event, is that the health boost upon revival is inadequate and more often than not the next enemy just kills him again on the same turn and that’s all for him.

She also rezs 2 summons each active u could like suicide bellator turn 3 or Celestine and really make hay.

Tough level - even with a revive on Maladus , Kharns passive looks very useful - nice turtling position

Don't bother watching this, all I do is blast through using overlevelled characters without an iota of thought given to what I'm doing. This video is purely serving as a record of what I've done. If there's one useful takeaway from this, it's that Tan and Actus are really bloody powerful in LREs

Big points scorer - thx for replay
