Path of Chigurh's Notes

I finally got around to killing the new uber bosses in 3.18 as I felt I needed to make a new character to smoothly kill them as the builds I typically play are more for mapping or were melee (I don't suggest bossing on melee builds). Below are my thoughts on the fights:

From Easiest to Hardest on my first 5-10 Attempts/Kills of each boss:

Uber Shaper: (Average 0 Deaths) This boss is the easiest by far in my mind. You mainly just have to dodge more abilities, but since they are mainly linear projectiles, running around in a circle continues to be a good strategy. As long as you have good DPS (8+ Million DPS) the puddles won't be an issue.

Uber Sirius: (Average 1 Death) When the world first race was happening for SSF HC and the weeks following, many people put Uber Sirius as the hardest. I don't believe this is the case. If you have 50k armour, molten shell, 75% chaos resist, and Corrupted blood immune, you can just tank his beams. I don't even have high regen or high life leech on this character and it was fine. Very high DPS is very beneficial for this fight since the degen puddles will stack up in the last phase and these puddles are the deadliest degens out of all the uber bosses. Also, having a fast 70%+ character for the maze is helpful/required (but can also be soaked by molten shell.)

Uber Uber Elder: (Average 1 Death) This fight can be fairly complicated with all the abilities. Obviously, the fight is like doing Uber Shaper with having an Elder in the arena. This means double the slams and a smaller area to dodge abilities. It is still beneficial to run around in circles for most of the fight. You don't have to stand in the elder circle if the fight gets too crazy. Molten shell will allow you to stand anywhere you want.

Uber Cortex: (Average 0-3 Deaths) This fight isn't very hard, it will just depend on the mods you get on the map. Almost all the abilities can be tanked with high regen, high leech, or molten shell except for the AOE blast the non-humanoid robot does. Running around in a circle is still a good strategy. Nothing really much to say here. Just be in general tanky and it will be fine.

Uber Eater: (Average 2 Deaths) This fight is the fastest fight of all the ubers, but is extremely deadly. Eater's die beam is way faster and deadlier than Sirius's die beam. Eater's AOE blast is faster than Uber Searing's AOE blast. You will need an inherently tanky character for this fight because it's pretty much impossible to dodge all of the tentacle slams that come out. Also, having high regen helps for the orb popping phase, which I don't have on my character.

Uber Maven: (Average 3 Deaths) I believe this fight is the most mechanically challenging fight. It will take some practice to do multiple mechanics at the same time. That is, you will need to drop the degen balls in a stack while dodging other deadly mechanics. Additionally, you will need to do the memory game while killing the adds that spawn. Molten shell is again the savior of this fight since it is better for you to stand still in many situations rather than running around into degen puddles or degen beams.

Uber Searing: (Average 3 Deaths) This fight was the hardest for my character by far, but only because of the ball transitions. The ball phase is just impossible with the setup I ran. You need a lot of movement speed to dodge his channeled flame ability, but it seems I had too much movement speed and couldn't precisely move my character between the balls. Also, I don't have high investment into fire resistance or block, which should help with tanking some balls. In general, the boss himself isn't very deadly and if you have high DPS, the adds he spawns shouldn't be an issue.
