Flame Knight in vMA

SilverIce58

I do not, absolutely do not, understand how to deal with that flame knight's chains and standard. It feels like the standard is cast every 30 seconds, and i get chained twice into it every time. Can I block it? What am I supposed to do? Anybody got any help?

Lord_Eomer

She drop standard after like 20-25 seconds, you can dodgeroll and move out (so have some stam)

Mostly she is killed without even dropping standard

GlorphNoldorin

Learn to predict the chains...it is just after she drops the standard, dodge roll before it or block.

pteam

Just roll out after, no big deal

@SilverIce58 What class are u? In my melee templar i use specifically Total Dark (eclipse skill)for Igneous Cistern. Very useful against kyngald, that Channel that fire attack, usually from far away...
So kill adds first and save stamina (or use stamina pots) for the Flameknight, like it was said.
I was joking but the secret there (for my playstyle at least) is mobility, so roll Dodge or always sprinting away from her

I know you are kidding but ...
Dont know why but the hardest boss for me is always Matriarch Runa, from Frozen Blood... Always kill her at the last seconds xD

I honestly struggle more with the flame knight than any other boss in vMA, and I´ve flawless on all classes but stam/mag warden xD

For me it's either the flame Knight or the Wamasu, all others are easy.

For me, Stage 5 is absolute cancer and the rest of vMA is easy mode.

I think it's because all of the ranged enemies do insane amounts of damage there.

Petsorc (cp 521), and i never have any stamina when i get there. I know petsorc is supposed to be "easy mode", but when you dont have the stamina to roll or block the chains, and that gets you slaughtered in the standard, it doesnt seem so easy. (Everything else was pretty easy, with a few hiccups here and there, but flame knight is hard af)

If I die, its at vault of Umbrage or frozen rink. Flawless is so close...

I usually die in the Frozen Rink. If I don't die there, I die in whatever Stage 8 is called (can't expect me to remember all the names, can you?)

Why dont you slot "Streak" just for that purpose? It uses magicka... Try thinking out off the box, some bosses require some changes... And vMA its great to use some skills we dont usually use...and learn even more about our class

Oh my god, streak might work actually. Im definitely going to try that later. Lol try chaining me from across the landmass.

TheDarkShadow

Strange, I thought this is the easiest boss. What I do is just ignore her and burn the boulder down. She probably can chain me and drop banner once, but usually die soon after the rock broken and stun her. If you are melee slot a gap close so you can get to the boulder faster.

jcm2606

Yeah, if she chains me I just pop Vigor and go back to the pillar. I run a Stamina Sorc with Vicious Ophidian, so I have great movement speed.

Personally, I'm having more troubles with the behemoth on stage 7. Can kill him, but my god the RNG deaths to the plants make it a royal pain in the ass.

The matriarch on stage 5 isn't so bad once you learn the fight. Everything she does is based on her health, so you can control the pace of the fight. When you see adds spawn, stop damaging the boss and focus them, then return to focusing the boss.

WrathOfInnos

Just make sure you are blocking any time she is standing in her own standard, so she can’t chain you into it. You can back away to lure her out of it.

Seconded.

Best advice is to make sure you have enough stam for emergency dodge/block and burn the boss as fast as possible. And don't get pulled into the standard.

Try lowering your vampirism to stage 2 enough to get the regen.

The other passives won't help much in vMA and you'll just be taking more fire damage

It's not "easy mode," that's just salt parroted by players from other classes.

The Power Sigils are there to help newer players. The Flame Knight Round is probably the 2nd hardest in the whole arena (round 3 of Stage 9 is the hardest). Start the round on Shield so when the 4 range adds spawn they kill themesevles. You just have to keep an eye on the left two in cases they channel (if they do bash).

When the two melee adds spawn, make your way to the Speed sigil and grab it after you kill them. Now you are super fast without consuming any stamina. When you hear the Standard drop, hold down block because she will try to chain you in.

The flame knight does an *awful* lot of damage and would recommend also grabbing the Heal sigil (it's the Chalice) if you are struggling.
