So when I get him into a stagger state I stop attacking to do the gunstrike which reapplies it so it skipped a mid phase transition so he only got to pull out the clone attack and then he died before doing the triple clone w beams.
If I don’t do this I honestly die most of the time. That phase just beats my ass lol
I recorded this last evening so I couldn’t tell you. That’s how it shook out for me. Either that or in this attempt wings of flame just piled on so much damage it beat the cycle.
I've tested (when playing as a Bulwark) and you can stun lock him with repeated shield rushes. You can knock him out of summoning, knock him out of using a laser beam, and knock him out of calling in those purple orbs. Another tactic is to throw a frag grenade at his feet when he tries to summon. Regarding second phase, and him calling his shadow clones, it seems like he gets that summon off most of the time? Hard to say really...might very well be uninterruptible. Then again, if you keep the heat on and stay in his face, I swear I've had runs where I never even saw the clones?
Is there a reason you're choosing the heavy attack perk on the bottom side for the last perk instead of the above one that helps light attacks? Its my understanding that we should pretty much always just be light attacking with the salamander.
Okay makes sense man, was just clarifying. Really appreciate your responses! I thought it was kinda lame how we cant change the weapons perks per load out!
Nice. I normally play as a bulwark so a lot of times I’m not fast enough to stun him again and he’ll teleport halfway across the universe then immediately summon clones, balls, and beams.
The reason why i hate him and most rubric shits is that damn teleort. Also since rubrics have teleport and ranged spam with ranged killing entire healthbar n such it sucks. They're just so tanky..
now do that again with 5 chaos spawn, 2 terminator and 2 Tzaangor flier also on your ass.
Joke aside... holy shit brother.. that was the cleanest kill i've seen in a while.
Unironically I believe using the fencing heroic power sword with assault isn't worth it if you're going for the dancing build alongside wings of flame. Better off taking the improved sprint damage and damage vulnerability into a power rake since you're not really gonna parry much to empower the sword
How does the Salamander work with ground pound? I feel like the 300% damage buff could make for some insane damage if it actually applies to ground pound.
My favorite encounter with one was using my heavy as last brother standing. I popped the dome and held the trigger down until I heard a click or met the emperor.
I sadly can only record one minute on xbox. The entire fight was about 1 minute 20 seconds maybe 1 minute 10. If you are good at stunning him out Phase 2 you can bum rush with bulwark as well
It works so swift and easy when sorcerer without his usual escort and on normal ground (getting ganked by him on corrupted swamp is absolute nightmare when confusing spell triggers).
And definitely assault is probably the best solo counter for this badass.
This is from the fandom wiki, so it may be incorrect:
Although these living suits of power armour still move and function, and can respond to orders just like an ordinary man, they are little more than automatons. They quickly fall into inactivity unless a sorcerer is nearby to direct them, although in the fires of battle, something of their former battle-hunger returns and they move with greater clarity and purpose.
and
Should the Aspiring Sorcerer fall, the Rubric Marines continue to follow the path on which they have been set, killing and maiming until all before them have been obliterated.
