TF in Grandville


Dispari

Ok i don't remember the name of the tf, i wasn't the leader of the group but i'm thinking it's lord recluses or something of that nature. Basically we run through the missions and come to defeat the Reichtman or whatever it is, when you have to defeat mako, ghost widow, scirocco and so on. Well when the big dude shows up you are all granted temp powers. Basically my question is how in the heck do you defeat him because we were all trying to use the temp powers we had and i was laying debuffs on him being a fire/rad corruptor and his health never dropped and we just kept dying until people left of course lol. I'd like to run it again just didn't know if anyone knew how to take the sucker down!

the tf your describing is barracuda sf, the guy your killing is reichsman, and the only way to effectively kill him in the last mish is with the temp that is granted to mm/defender

all the other temp powers are 100% useless in doing anything to reichsman (those temps are however very useful for dealing with his massive ambush)

from the sound of it, there were no mm's or defenders on the team

That would be the Barracuda SF, if I'm not mistaken. The tricky part of that one is that different ATs get different temp powers for the big showdown with Reichsman. One in particular is only granted to Masterminds or Defenders, and is used to break his "Unstoppable" power when it activates.

I hope that helped some.

I think it is sad if you have to have 1 of 2 particular AT's on a team to finish a mission of any kind, much less a SF.

technically you dont have to have a mm or defender to finish, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier (if you do enough dmg between his untouchable phasings he does lose approx 1000-3000 hp every cycle, so eventually you could kill him, but it would take 1+ hours of just smacking him and i could see how that could get very boring very fast and disheartening that the progress is so slow)

wow ok...that really sucks cause yeah we didn't have either of those on team. how in the world would anyone of known that from the beggining cause i was playing with some vet players and even they were baffled. well thank you all for the info now i know what i need to do!

Besides having MM/Defender on the team, having a ridiculous amount of -RES also helps a ton. I like to saturate my teams with Corruptors anyway, but if you don't usually do that you can give it a shot.

Lots of +DMG stacking helps too, so you can grab some VEATs (who also come with +DEF so your team won't die as much).

In general I like the concept where everyone gets something different, but I do wish that instead of it going automatically by AT, instead that you could select which you got when you used the machine.

but ah well, it is not how they envisioned it. Still a fun SF, I enjoy it much more than Khan, except for doing that last fight without a MM/Defender.
