Snarky Posted May 23 Posted May 23 in the 4 star itf should the green (emerald) nova be held or do we continue to burn it down like in 1/2 star content? also, in 4 star, does it become necessary to have a scrapper or Brute for the yellow nova or, as usual, do we just zerg it?
Ghost Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Damn I gotta try one of the 4-stars again because I don’t even know what you’re talking about lol 2

Nictus Essences: The Nictus Essences in this version of the fight are immune to all attacks. Death Throw: When Romulus sacrifices a Nictus essence, the resulting Death Throw, which stuns on normal mode, will now instantly defeat any ally within line of sight. Barrier Novas: Romulus summons 4 Barrier Novas to the field, which protect him from all damage. These Novas have moderate-to-high defense against the 'wrong' attack vectors. The Topaz (Yellow) Barrier Nova is more easily hit by Melee Attacks. The Sapphire (Blue) Barrier Nova is more easily hit by Ranged Attacks. The Ruby (Red) Barrier Nova is more easily hit by Area of Effect (AoE) Attacks. The Emerald (Green) Barrer Nova is intended to be controlled, but not defeated, as it gains massive resistance bonuses when under control, but renders it unable to protect Romulus, while impacting his regeneration. For teams lacking control, it is trivial to defeat this Barrier Nova on lower difficulties in order to remove Romulus' protection, though he will retain his regeneration.
Seed22 Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Dont hold it. It provides a shield to rommy when held making your life worse 1 Aspiring show writer through AE arcs and then eventually a script 😛 AE Arcs: Odd Stories-Arc ID: 57289| An anthology series focusing on some of your crazier stories that you'd save for either a drunken night at Pocket D or a mindwipe from your personal psychic.|The Pariahs: Magus Gray-Arc ID: 58682| Magus Gray enlists your help in getting to the bottom of who was behind the murder of the Winter Court.|
Luminara Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Hold it. I dare you. 4 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.
Spaghetti Betty Posted May 24 Posted May 24 No, do not hold the Emerald Nova. It's not worth babysitting it to try and shave a tiny amount of Regen off of Rommy. The team should move as a group taking down each Nova while the taunter occupies Rom. 2 Mainly on Excelsior. Find me in game @Spaghetti Betty.

That explains it The one 4-star I participated in that actually made it to Rommy was on launch day. It was a Snarky Sized Disaster. Think there were only like 4 of us left, and the tank just kept running in circles with Rommy chasing while we were all separated and getting spanked. 1
Projector Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Zerg them and intentionally do NOT use holds so that you can still kill it has been the approach of every 4* ITF I've done. 1
