Abilities & Mechanics
The Rusted Armor Warrior on Taedal’s Tower Floor 5 is skilled at close range combat. He uses sweeping attacks and unpredictable attack patterns to deal damage. If you are ranged you can fairly easily kite the boss and deal damage to take him out. However, if you’re melee the fight may prove to be a little more difficult. The warrior has some very tricky attack patterns. His attacks are quick and unpredictable. However, he does have some voice lines that are the tell for which attack is about to happen. The abilities you need to be aware of are the following:
- Do Not Interfere – When the warrior says “do not interfere” he will shoot 3 projectiles toward your direction. If hit you will take damage. He will then charge to your position and deal damage. You can avoid the projectiles and the charge by sidestepping out of the way.
- No One Can Pass – The warrior will say “no one can pass”. When you hear this line he will move towards you with a spinning attack with his sword. Move away from the boss a good distance when this attack happens in order to avoid being hit.
- Kill Kill Kill – Whenever you hear the chant “kill kill kill” the warrior with quickly perform a charging forward slash. If you get hit by the attack you will be stunned. He will then follow up with an attack that deals a good amount of damage. You can not block this ability. In order to avoid damage you will need to quickly move out of the way, or perform a CC ability to interrupt the attack.
- Die Die Die – When you hear the “die die die” chant the boss will perform two forward attacks with his sword. The first attack has a high chance to stun you. This attack can be blocked. You will see the purple circle appear on the boss when this attack happens.
