Does the Ferryman ever die ?

[Rory]

Last battle of a stage in the gauntlet. Ferryman is unable to kill my remaining characters.

But my remaining characters don't have damage-over-time effects.

Is this a stalemate, and my only option is to abandon and thus lose ? (I don't have any eddies left)

Do you have anyone who can apply passive disable?

[Nuke_Happy]

Ferryman’s passive should make him take 5% of his hp/turn as well as decrease his max hp by 5% per turn. It’ll take a while but as long as he can’t kill you with doom you’re fine.

If you have someone with burn effects. Furious burn knocks the crap out of him

That's what I thought, but... I could see his hp go down by a small amount each turn, but it seemed to bottom out at 10 hp. And then after a while, instead of it saying 10, it said "Missed", and didn't go down after that.

So it seems that without a burn effect, or some other damage-over-time, or passive disable effect, then it's a stalemate.

I spent more than an hour at it, without any progress, before eventually ferrymans marks did my remaining characters in.

Only char I had left at the time had the "deflect shield" which inflicts a "random negative effect".

But they never generated a burn or passive disable effect.

His hp reduction (i.e. the damage he takes from his passive) is based on current hp. Now I've never put this to a test, but, when he loses damage based on his current hp the damage he takes should be progressively smaller each turn. When he arrives at 10 hp he takes 0.5 damage. I could imagine the game uses a round function rather than a ceiling function, and at this point it rounds to 0 damage. As I said I've never tried this. If this is the case, the round should be replaced either by a ceiling, or, when he arrives at 10 hp, he should simply die - because waiting another 10 turns for consuming himself is ridiculous ...
