Hi all! Cerastes’ designer let me know about the following changes that were made to this fight between the beta and live server:
• Base HP increased by 7%
• Increased Spirit Gain Rate from 350% → 400% (this should make lower-rarity strikers more viable!)
• Repair Times against Mutants increased from 30% → 35%
• Repair Times against Infuriate increased from 60% → 70% (almost certainly intended to punish Herc more)
But that still didn't stop players from using herc against him
@@mrstrange1062 all the more reason for him to get a big ol’ nerf
I don't have cosmic champs with access to armour breaks ranked up, so going to use herc anyway with cap iw synergy
@@mrstrange1062 you don’t need armor break
@@simula67 dont make me hate u just when i started watching more n m ore vids of urs.. just let herc be!
hell of a breakdown dude. Really appreciate it
The relic needed emphasis done by a growing facecam really drove the point home. I'm going to thank you for another awesome boss guide. Haven’t got much further in the video passed that part but going off past guides, i know it'll be extremely helpful & informative. Thx
Thanks Sim! I'm sure I'll be back to watch again when I actually have time to run through 8.3 this weekend.
You do such a great job on these boss breakdowns. You are a massive resource saver!
Your new champ guides are also on point.
Keep up the fantastic work
Thank you so much, these compliments mean a lot!
Thanks man, I tried watching other guides but understood urs the most
Happy to help!
Fantastic work!!!
this guide was INCREDIBLE. i got down cerastes in just 1 revive thanks to this, incredible guide!
Whenever I need the go to or refresher for these bosses your guides are clutch
Excellent guide! Thanks!
Thanks again for the MCOC bosses for dummies guide!! Great breakdown as usual
Thanks for this guide. Surprised at how easy this was once i got a rhythm.
Well done!
As always thank you!!
The man with the best breakdowns. A man of the people
Very well explained.
Thanks so much for this buddy😊
Hands down the easiest guide to full for Cerastes. Very well done man!
Glad it helped!
Great job thank you for the breakdown!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great boss guide. Just got to 8.3.6 tonight and immediately headed here. Gonna attempt him tomorrow
You've got this!
thanks for the guide you're the man
Thanks my bro ❤
Thanks for this guide. I beat him first try with Hercules and Odin pre-fight abilities, no revives!
Amazing guide!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the help
This got me through so easy!! Thank you!!!!!!
Ayy congrats!
Thanks in advance!!!
Here from MSD. Nice video brother.
Nice guide
Thanks SIM!
This was very useful.
Glad it was helpful!
I love these guides
Also a thought, imagine how cool it would be to do a massive Content Creator Collab for the 8.4 boss (and maybe even get a version of it posted to the MCOC CZcams channel?)
Throwing a follow and a like because this was incredibly helpful and you named my boy venom first on recommended champs lol
Venom and Venompool were my favorite attackers when I tested the fight
The goat of fight breakdowns is back.
😁
I'm not here to prep for the fight or because I got my backside handed to me
I came to enjoy the video!
I now feel prepared. Here we go!
I know you've got this!
Thanks to sim and this video second run through I got a solo. If you have Angela and Odin that is the combo to run
W guide
Liked and shared Sim
Thank you!
Msd summoned me here. Nice vid
Welcome!
You’re amazing
Personally my 7* Howard the duck carried me, I was able to solo cerastes in 4.44 min without Any boost lmao ( just odin synergy)
Hey, can you make a video with new champs on how to clear act 6
I knew I could count on sim to tell me how to do this
Thanks for that guide! Just the sp1 dex is it similar to the maestro sp1?
Yes, also very similar to the SP1s of 7.3 Kang and Superior Kang. Once you get the timing it’s very easy
Thanks a lot!@@simula67
I think hulkling is gonna be perfect fir this boss
Thx great guide! But my rng is killing me smfh for real 🤦🏻♂️ feels impossible to get all 3 down at the same time
My advice is to get into a rhythm by doing each action in the same order every time. It may help to say the next action you need to do out loud.
@@simula67 that actually helped a lot! Thx! 👌🏼
What about galan prefights? :)
So sad you didn't mention top option in cosmic Hulkling 😢😢😢
He will do just fine but you won’t be able to get a huge double fury SP2 off
@simula67 oh I know you know he will I'm just being #HulkingBestInGame cheerleader lol. If your going to Vancouver have fun
So as long as you don’t activate the infuriate with herc he should be fine right?
Indeed
@@simula67 Sweet! Thanks for the informative video. I haven’t started 8.3 yet but will come back here when I reach the final boss👍
Really nice! Time to go crush this guy (or more likely get crushed...)
MSD brought me here. But, have been a long time follower. Not enough content and activity for a sub yet. Maybe in the near future.
Will my Ascended Knull do any meaningful work against this boss?
Absolutely. Give him the Odin pre-fights and he will dominate
Looks like 7* Venom to R2
👀
As an owner of a r5 ascended galan I gotta ask, wouldn’t he be a good option? Can gain sooo many buffs
I second this question
Remember that you want unique buffs. Galan should work fine but the harvest damage won’t be increased during the wounded phase.
@@simula67 yeah kinda figured about harvest, didn’t realise about unique buffs but he still has a few, more than gamora for example.
@@simula67 actually for whatever reason, galans harvest scales up with the attack bonus, galan was absolutely my mvp all 3 times. Dropped an almost 2mil harvest once
Is Hercules with Odin synergy good?
I mean, yeah, but if you accidentally Infuriate him you’re gonna regret it lol
R2 Venom gonna have a good time. So is my revive stash lol.
Jealous that urs is R2
Would hulkling work?
Definitely, but you have to be VERY careful about hitting into his block and may instead want to just play the fight straight up rather than try and get a huge SP2 off.
Is hulking a good option?
Yup!
No Hulking on your list?
Didn’t want to name every good cosmic but he will be just fine
Would adam warlock work
Yup
Понимать бы английский
As if they weren't pushing relics enough, this boss requires you to bring one
Relics have been in the game for over a calendar year. Respectfully, if you still don’t have any, that’s kinda on you.
@@simula67 I already have enough relics. They should be optional, not required.
Also nice guide
I would understand the complaint if it required a specific relic, just any relic is good and you should most likely have over a good amount already.
This comment feels like it took a Time Machine from the past to get here
Can herc immortality just cheese last phase, even though anyone can do it fine
you say he is hardest from all if you make misstake and then easiest from all 3 bosses how ? is lingua lapsus or
He is the easiest boss overall but also the most punishing if you make a mistake
