He is easy if you already know the game sure.īut it's not too fair to imply the guy a 'cake walk' lol He is not resistant to bleeds or blights.īut it's not too fair to imply the guy a 'cake walk' lol with some bad rng he might get healed/guarded and spams his life siphon skill if your comp/dps game is too chill and random it can get ugly. You don't need anything too special just the standard able to dps any position (a minimum of two who can do that is how I play), or you can play around moving abilities (I guess, I rarely do that myself), a stunner would be great you might stun him 1st round before he summons anything, and you might need to stun the unit that might guard him, or the highwayman to reduce the damage he can do to you. He can show up randomly anywhere, and it's a good idea to plan around that cause killing him is worth, and a team comp that can deal with him is a good one overall anyway imo. He can be real nasty if your team is 'I kill front row till I get to back row' which is if you don't know the game well, not unreasonable to be the case, or maybe you felt like taking random lowbies to an easy dungeon without configuring their focus fire capability.

If, however, you meet one in the first 2-3 post-tutorial dungeons (ie. Even better when you have a relatively fleshed out roster as well and can start making tuned comps, not to mention good trinkets. Alas, this is easier done when you have access to the guild. The ease depends on (a) what comp you used and (b) whether you're within the first 5-week rule when you encountered one, followed by (c) hindsight (or lack of).įor example, the very first comp you start with can comfortably dunk Collectors all day.

They're the easiest mini-boss and one of the easiest bosses outright in the game.

Early game parties are often no match for him.Ĭollectors can be dunked in as little as one round.
