Tips to fighting Pink Bean?

I keep dying on the owl statue's damage reflect (I'm on a Zero)
Was wondering if anyone knew any tips or tricks.

I've got a ~8xxxxk range on Alpha 9xxxx-100k range on Beta.

Oops, thought you were still referring to the bird statue. Bad hasty reading. D:

He's really easy as Zero.

1. Stay behind the Wise Man statue at all times when attacking. Don't just jump around and attack it on your way back because you'll trigger the DR and die. Don't attack until you're behind him.
2. Keep in mind that when you tag out, your character moves forward a bit so move back a little before you tag.
3. Don't EVER use Weapon Throwing on a boss with DR, especially Pink Bean as it'll kill you.
4. Pink Bean's Damage Reflect activates at 90% Health on the instance he starts the animation(Purple Crossbones) so stop attacking when he's about to cast any skill as you don't know if it's DR or not. Attack only when he's still casting a different skill.
5. Damage Reflect lasts 43 Sec with 60 Sec CD so you have 17 sec to pound his face in between DR. As soon as he casts DR, start doing some math to figure out your time frame for attacking.
6. Don't forget your Time Aura will wipe his DR away so make plenty of use of that.

Also, be aware of the mini beans when pb spawns them. You may have to lure them away to see if pb has the icon over his head.

Usually it gets to the point where you can't tell if PB is still in DR or no, and you waste valuable time. Good luck on the new info given by basil community.

Thanks for the tips. Been getting tired of that owl.
So does Pink Bean have an animation for his DR too, or is it just be cautious?[/quote]

he does have a cast animation, but once the animation starts DR is already active
once the fight with PB starts, be cautious when he will DR, there's no knowing when, so stop in between his attacks to watch for it
after his DR wears off, it's another 20 seconds before he will cast it, so go all out

lol no. after 90% of PB's HP watch out for the PURPLE CROSSBONES he will cast over his head. That is the animation for his DR.

The symbol on its chest will glow briefly. Keep in mind the animation is the same regardless of the reflect type (magical, physical, overall).

Stay behind the first statue on the left side and the bird wont cast DR.

stand behind the wiseman statue and use your long range skills

beta 1, beta 2, beta 4,
tag alpha 2, alpha 3
alpha 4

use time distortion under where PB is, it will debuff all statues (besides the grill statue)

I'm not an expect on Pink Bean but the only one that will damage reflect is the statue on the middle left. He will cast it right after the symbol on his chest glows yellow. Once you're at the stage with the far right, far left, and middle left statue, I start with the middle left. I'll continue to attack until he casts damage reflect and move onto the other statues. I'll attack the other statues until damage reflect wears off. Pink Bean damage reflects too when he casts a purple symbol above him. Just be cautious.

You could try using the barrier which cancels DR (and makes him unable to cast it(?)).

Nah I mean, the owl statue's the only one left, and it keeps casting DR, even after it just cast DR, so I'm thinking I'm missing something.

Stay behind the Wiseman statue or don't blindly attack.
