@pallapalla:
I'll test when the game is up. If that's true, then damn, that's OP

@littletlk:
I can confirm bishop shield works on czak, both on the hand smash and the attack on the platforms. This is actually quite op because bishop shield can be made permanent with enough buff duration.
BaM shield blocks the same things as bishop shield, such as ark's 1hko and lotus' purple balls, so i assume it can also block czak's attacks.

@pallapalla:
Shield works on czak?
Like, it blocks damage?
I didn't even try considering how useless invincibility skills like it are now.

Czak is as hard as empress hp-wise, both require about 1m range. However, czak is much, MUCH harder mechanically. If you want to just test your dmg, go in with a bishop or a BaM for the shields.

Irony is that people remember how hard czak was back in the day, so Nexon just straight up buffed him to accommodate for now

Probably worth noting to knock out one of the bottom arms first as they reach the corners of the map. My preference is to knock out the bottom right arm ASAP with RoI. (I think I had one of the left arms actually grab and kill me once. Not really sure on the condition but I've avoided the left ever since)

The arms can also be dodged by propelling yourself into the air as soon as you see the marker. Rising Rush(keydown)>Aerial Barrage>Rolling Moonsault>Leap Tornado or Spikes Royale and if you need more air time: SNF. I think you might be able to get away with LT+SNF only but I think the i-frames help with dodging the arms.

When you're on the platform part, use Staggering Strikes and stay on the bottom two plats. Use Spikes Royale for a quick jump to the upper plats.

It's not as hard as hard magnus but it's harder than normal magnus.
My aran was capping and I still needed a couple runs before I could finally kill him for the first time

If you're a really 'pro' bosser and you can dodge everything, you will need at least 1m range to be able to kill him and this also depends on your class & boss %
If you're a terrible bosser like me and you are likely to lose your lives really quickly, you will need 2m+ range.

@ziub

I got one shotted lol

Yeah they ruined Czak for the mid funded. Even the rewards/exp ain't worth the damage you need for it lol. Best to just go with some friends : ]

Is that how much they buff czak? Wow, just wow. I remember when 200k buffed on a bucc took 5-8 minutes.

Somewhat related question, is it a half decent idea to take a crew and punch czak for exp or anything?

I'd say at least a 1.5m range.
That's where I am and I can just barely solo.

I cap on CZak and it takes me ~5 minutes to kill.
I don't think 100k range will cut it

u are far from it mate.... czak has now more hp than cpierre, cqueen and cvb....
