Statesman and his unstoppable

We want to perorate the Strikeforce in Ouroboros Lev 46-50, where we have to defeat some Heros of the Freedom Phalanx, Mrs. Liberty, Mynx, Positron, Cithadel, Infernal and so on.
At the end there is Statesman himself to kill.
But he has a immuneshield, which goes on if he dropp down to 20%.
Its Statesman as a Hero with ca. 29k Life.

We added the monster mechanic arachnos spider in the fight, but it can deal max a dot which ticks for 2 per 0,5 Sec vs the immuneshield.

In a sheet i can see, that this shield should be the skill unstoppable of the power set invulnerability.
It goes on, when he dropps to 20% hp, then it goes down, when statesman regged to 90% life, and goes on again, if he ist droppt down to 20% life again.

Hm i think, he has some resistance vs the most damage versions more than 100%, but which resi he has detailed in his shield?
How much - resi we have to debuff him to deal a little bit dam to him?

With a pain corr who can debuff -22,5% resi to all dam, it had beeing no enough effect to statesman shield.

Or which other options we have to kill him?
We have no psionic dpsler.

Skynetminor HITS you! Confuse had a 100.00% chance to hit and rolled a 62.83.
You are confused.




On a more serious note, the use of temp powers (Warbug nukes, Shivans, etc) probably couldn't hurt.

As for the -RES debuffing, since RES resists -RES, 100% RES would resist -RES debuffs by quite a bit.

Still waiting for his Official BackAlleyBrawler No-Prize

So we can´t debuff him, that we can deal dam to him?

And what is a shivan?

What are you talking about?

Pls no foren trolls posts, that can´t help.

Pls serious posts to his theme, which can help me and my team.

Unfortunately, there's not much to be done outside of debuffs/high team buffs to deal with states' unstoppable. He'll trigger it even if held, as it's tied to health #'s. Still, after it drops there is a period where it's not up: at that point chew on all the red candy you can, use all your big -regen powers, do anything you can, and you can get him far enough down before his next unstoppable to fell him.

But yeah, the guy cheats. Fast recharge unstoppable, with his lightning storm nuke that he spams when he feels pinched. Hooray for a fun fight.

statesmans base resistance gives him a good bit to most dmg types

when he hits unstoppable, it adds around another 52% resist on top of what he has (except psi)

most of his resists will be 90% or above except to psi which will stay at his base stat of 20% psi resist

doing -resist will help a lot if you have anything that can do psi dmg, and doing -regen will help a lot as well, same with -rech

one reason he will go up to full hp real fast as well is because he likes to hit dull pain, which heals him by about 12k hp, and then increases his max hp by the same amount, and the higher max hp will make him regen more hp per tick since regen is based on a % of max hp

another note to add is his unstoppable is on a 5 min rech and has a duration of 1 min 40 sec, so you only have about a 2 min 20 sec window to actually hurt and/or kill him before he pops another unstop

Hm so, with unstoppable he has detailed 142% resi vs the most kind of dam?

We have a pain corr, and a thermal corr could be join the team.

Both corr have a 22,5% resi debuff, combined 45% -resi to this guy, could it beeing enough?

Or the toxic dagger, which can reduce hp reggen of the enemy target, deliver it something vs statesman hp reggen?

1 min 40 sek, the unstoppable shall to be effected?
I have the feeling, that is has an effect periode of 3 minutes and more^^

Hm and how we can kill him without psi and negative energie dpsler?

actually, isn't the problem with States and Reichsman's unstoppable is that it actually DOES give them immunity to smashing and lethal damage types?

My confusion stems from the fact that I think he's talking about the LRSF, but Infernal isn't in the LRSF.

The LRSF is arguably the hardest content currently in the game. It's certainly in the top three, with Barracuda and the Statesman Task Force being its prime competitors. It isn't easy, especially if you don't have debuffs. Generally, when fighting AVs, -regen is going to be the most important debuff to make sure you have, followed by -resist and -to hit. AV regen is set to "cheating damn computer" levels, and -regen is really the only way to combat it, especially through a crashless Unstoppable.

Sam - basically, they're having trouble dealing with statesman and his cheatyface version of unstoppable on the top level villain ouroborous SF. Since it's on such a short recharge he keeps hitting it and regenning so much while it's on that they can't kill him before it recharges and he does it again.

To the original poster: as some have said, the answer is -regen debuffs. If you can stop him from regenerating too much health while his unstoppable is active, once it drops you can kill him before it recharges. Some good sources of regen debuffs would be radiation's lingering radiation, dark miasma and kinetics' heals (they debuff the target as well), traps' poison trap (a *huge* debuff), cold domination's benumb, thermal's heat exhaustion, or dom psi assault/blaster mental manipulation's drain psyche.

The reason resistance debuffs won't work is that, if he has resistance to a damage type, he also has resistance to resistance debuffs of that type. That's a confusing sentence, so an example: Say an enemy has 90% resistance all damage but psi. Then, if you hit him with a 30% resistance debuff, his resistance (to everything but psi) will only decrease by 3% (10% of 30%) since his 90% resistance also gives him 90% resistance to the debuff.

Applying that to statesman, if his resistances are over 100%, then he will also be completely immune to resistance debuffs. So for any damage type with over 100% resistance, you won't be able to damage him no matter how many resistance debuffs you stack.

For those that want a translation, here's my shot. It did take MANY readings to get to it.

The other option is to keep the Giant Arachnos Spider alive (Jade Spider?) it does almost purely Psi damage if I remember correctly. Try to ditch it somewhere when fighting the other Heroes (so it doesn't get killed) then bring it back in for Statesmen.

I know the thing is a BEAST for the heroside version, especially when it goes into Mark II mode and can pretty much wipe the Freedom Phalanx all on its own.
