How does Scalecaller Peak HM synergy work?

FakeFox · January 2018

We were trying to figure out the shield mechanic in Scalecaller Peak HM for like one hour and just couldn't get it to work. Does anyone know how it works or if it's simply bugged?

Ehm, just stand in it? If the mechanic you refer to is the one where the Boss puts the shield to the ground you just have to stand in it and leave before she hammers the ground

If not, nvm.

on hm synergy appears only for ONE random player and he must press it.
on non-hm u just need to stand inside the ring.

Yes, I'm talking about that shield on the ground, however in HM you need a synergy to activate it. The problem here is that you can pretty much never get it to work for all four players, that's why I think it may be bugged. We only ever got it once to work for all four group members. I have seen that you can still beat the HM by using a different tactic (using the AOEs from the adds), but I doubt that's intended.

Huh? I didn't even see a synergy this afternoon when we did it... Maybe that's why it was cancerous...

On hm there are four ways to avoid the one shot. Standing in the poison fountain, standing in the ice freeze, getting hit by the stone laser beam and taking the shield. Each player needs to take one.

The killing of the adds needs to be timed so some of those options are up every 20%. Everyone of those ccs will only protect you from the one shot and not other damage so it's best imo if the healer takes the shield as its the only option that won't stun you.

The stone laser beam requires that person to be broken out of it with a synergy so it's best a dps takes that and not the tank so the boss can be taunted asap after the one shot phase is over.

The whole fight is chaotic and fun. The hm is a night and day difference then normal. Good luck!

Yeah, I've seen that as well, but I'm not sure if thats the intended way because you can get the synergy to work for multiple people, it just not consistant.

It is intended that way. I was evolved in the first clear on stream with the devs watching and they were pointing out the broken mechanics to us so we could avoid "exploiting" it as they gathered data to fix and tweak stuff.
