Boss tier up
Hi guys,
I perfected my dagger with 15%'s today. Now I'm up to 412k range buffed, 167% boss and 63% pdr on stat screen (w/o phantom blow natural pdr factored in). Right now the hardest boss I do is madman ranmaru, which I can kill in 1 buff duration (3.5 ish minutes). I was wondering if I am able to kill the next tier bosses like hard gollux/normal magnus/pb yet?
Thanks for your input!

I feel like your pdr is still pretty low

Yeah not hardlux ... Lol ...
Hard gollux should be pretty easy at that range. If you don't have a familiar out you can make the jaw face one direction by using mirrored target. Also nice cause it procs shadow meld. On the eyes stand on the portal and spam PB and you can actually dodge the hand attack on the eye platforms by ducking. I usually just dark sight if he uses the direction switch attack cause otherwise at a random interval it'll blow you up and hit 90% dmg and stun you. When the eyes shine with blue electricity you get one shotted if you're on the floor but you can jump+ascension to dodge it. Another thing you can do is make sure you have asura up for the eyes. Makes them a lot faster. If the hand comes up in asura either FJ to the other side or use CoH for the iframe and you'll live.
You should be able to do Pink Bean and Normal Magnus without any issues if you're decent with control and timing.
Do what @dominion suggested for Pink Bean, it helps to not trigger DR, and I don't like the other bird either that seduces, since I have low status resistance. The only thing left is to watch out for PB triggering DR and when it turns off you have a good 12 seconds to burst some damage before it going up again.
In terms of Magnus, you also utilize Chains of Hell for the invincibility frames in tight situations. It completely ignores meteors and Magnus' attacks during the attack and 3 seconds after. CoH can be used mid-way of Asura, which is good to know for the low-range Dual Blades who can't dish more damage with Phantom Blow alone.
I can't comment on Hard Gollux, since I'm having difficulty after the jaw.
tbh pb isnt that tough. like im weak af and i killed that cute pink sum bish
OP, you can do them all. Just start carefully and learn how they work if you don't already know (there are great ways to avoid death on gollux, for example). CHT may take you some time, but you can solo most bosses at this point excluding end-game.
[quote=ronaldlu]Pb will be super annoying because your main attack has low range, so you'll constantly trigger the DR from the left statue.[/quote]
If you [b]stand on the yellow crystal[/b] at the base of the man statue [b]on the left[/b], you can reach the DR bird with [b]blade ascension[/b], sudden raid, flashbang, soul weapon, sengoku skill, and I believe vampire, thus you don't have to wait out DR every time!
You should be fine with gollux, when you get to the gem part of gollux, just burst it down with asura. Pb will be super annoying because your main attack has low range, so you'll constantly trigger the DR from the left statue. Lastly, magnus should be manageable since you have dark sight and dashes to dodge around.
Hey fellow dual blader, I'm around 510k buffed. But before the spell trace fever I was 380k buffed, the harder(tankier) bosses i managed was madman, chaos ht, normal pink bean, norm magnus and hard gollux (that took a bit of time though). I did every one within 5-6mins, pink bean was 7-8 due to constant dr, norm magnus around 8-10mins on a good run and hard gollux was 18-20mins since my pdr/boss % was 70/124%. So to answer your question, yes you can do these bosses like I did. But don't expect to finish within 1 buff duration though for the other bosses
i did hard gollux with 390k range 146%boss and 72%pdr as a Nl i believe the only thing you gotta worry about is manually killing the mobs.
Hard gollux/PB should be pretty easy, Norm Magnus is the tougher one. If you have decent control you'll be able to do it as well.
Magnus and pb should be achievable, your ignore def is a tad low maybe. Did you get leafre codex ?
Ignore def is multiplicative stat
Congrats on completing your dagger
you can prob do them all .
hard gollux you need to be wary of teh mobs tho.
