reichsman ambushes
No, but 3 of the 5 temp powers given to the different ATs are meant to be used to deal with them.
The Dominator power holds all of the 5th in the area, the Corruptor dust devils work along with the dominator power(they're most effective against "helpless" targets) and the Stalker power allows you to slip past some defenses and nuke the room.
the Brute and Mastermind abilities are the only two meant to be used on/when going head to head with Reichsman
hmm we have him beaten to almost 50% but he keeps getting better! There must be a way to beat him. Is it just brute force?
Well, i ran it on blue side. A good taunt tank, debuff, and fiah powah did it for us. I tanked and kept him AND the other AV's on me and the team done the rest. (i was in granite, btw)
The Reichsman fights are VERY different on each side. Blueside experience is useless for the redside fight.
@Roderick
When we did it, we didn't even know about the temp powers, so the only thing we had was the stalker nuking the room to stop the ambushes. After that we just kept at him and kept at him including nukes and shivans.

Yes, blueside it's just like any other AV fight just with a de-phase temp power. Red side you have to strategically use the 5 different temp powers (which you get depends on your AT) given to you and hope you don't wipe on the first attempt since the ambush will continue to spawn and chase you upon re-entry into the mission.
On the run I did last night, they were camping the mission door waiting for us to re-enter. We learned the hard way that if the team wipes, everyone should wait and go back in at the same time.

My run last night had the same thing happen, but we learned there are a maximum number of ambushes, and after that, you can fight him like any regular AV (just with more HP).
Sorry I didn't address the hero version, I don't even think about the blue side run, since It's a pretty standard boss fight. in my mind it didn't even register that someone was asking about it... lol

If you have a Mastermind on the team, make sure they use their temp power. It'll stop Reichsman from using his "Unbreakable" power, which makes him invulnerable to most attacks and jacks his regen up 500% for a little bit -- not too long, but long enough for him to regain a good chunk of his 226,000 HP.
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
It may be different, BUT the OP didn't specify which...
Is there a way to stop him from spawning ambushes?
