Blue tank and purple skeleton too OP

[Defender_Flower_VI]

Isn’t the blue tank and purple skeleton bit too OP? 100% resistant to physical or magic damage through out the fight. It’s unfair, it can simply wreck a full team on in just campaign but they are more annoying in Heist. If it’s so fair I dare you. No I double dare you to make a team character to have the same resistance.

They’re just like a Trial. Showing that your team must be a mix of both Normal and Fantastic Damagers. You know what could counter them? True Damage.

Correct and Maui deals true damage among other characters.

The skeletons I don’t mind. It’s the brutes who are, rather appropriately, brutal. If you don’t have a fantastic character to handle them, it’s infuriating. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone into a heist battle where I ran into a brute with almost no fantastic damage to back me up (another reason I’ve come to like Rex, I suppose).

[Meatsqueezer]

Both are not op at all.

[HeroSSWin]

Brutes, at Green Rarity and up, are immune to Normal Damage and appear at earlier levels. Now begs the question:

“How can you counter them?”

That’s pretty easy to solve… just use these starter heroes:

1. Elastigirl:

Her White, Green and Blue Skills all deal Fantastic Damage.

2. Vanellope

Her White, Green, Blue and Purple Skills all deal Fantastic Damage.

Now for your Heist Problem… here’s a mostly Full Guide to beating it… I’m just going to quote some points to help you with it…

A Full (not really) Guide to Beating the Heist! And open Q&A about the Heist

1. Hero Rosters

This can be where problems can start. Since the Heist has an array of Creeps (Brutes, Mages, Skeletons, Ghouls, you name it), it would be best if your roster had a mixture of Normal and Fantastic Damage Dealers, especially if the heroes have a mixture of Skills that deal Normal and Fantastic Damage. As much as possible, don’t pick a full-on Support (Non-Damaging) Hero like Woody (I’m so sorry Woody, but you’re practically useless in a Heist). He only deals basic damage. Unless you improve his “Favorite Deputy”, he’s useless. Believe me, whenever he Investigates, he’s the one most likely to get Ambushed.

4. Getting Ambushed

As stated, when finishing an Investigation, you either find a clue successfully, or get ambushed. Engaging in an Ambush recklessly should be avoided. Since you’re the only one who can trigger the Fight, you can place your extra (Investigating) heroes near the Ambushed, this way they can get to the place faster. Also, make sure that the Ambushed is not a Hero like Woody, if it cannot be avoided; it’s fine, as long as the Heroes near the Ambushed are a mixture of Normal and Fantastic Damagers. Note that you should be quick when placing the heroes because the Ambush has a timer.

5. Always have a backup plan.

Now, this is relative to the other counters. Place your heroes near the Ambushed; Call them if necessary, etc. This time, a new counter is added: Judging. If you prepared the heroes near the Ambushed, engage. Judge first if you think the Hero needs backup. If they need backup, don’t hesitate to call them.

Do that, and you’ll go through it like a breeze.

Also just wanted to say that the last heist iplayed did not call heroes correctly. I had all my characters together but it called some that were 15 seconds away or more…i had some that were at the most five seconds away but were not called. It wasnt a problem cuz the ones i could call had fantastic damage and were orange…but it could have been a problem. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Chris5]

@Champion_David Was there a ambush nearby? If yes, this might be the answer. An ambush will “lock” the 5 heroes to it even if one doesn’t fight the ambush.

[Champion_David]

oh but what if they havent started fighting the ambush beforw I start my fight? There may have been an ambush
I dont remember to well…thanks for that it does make sense.
