Anyone got any tips? I keep getting smashed by teams with fortune talismans. Get it down to that one char, but cant kill them. Any negative buffs get cleared. Im guessing someone who can give team ascension and buffs is your only chance? I mean even heal block gets cleansed!
If it is the last character, the only strategy is using eternity eddie with Mark talisman and spam... But if a blue lilith has it. It is impossible to win.
Key is to use 1-hit toons. Which can be a challenge. Most characters now days do "3 hits of X damage" or along those lines.... If you can stun or freeze on that last hit it can help. Or if you can do enough damage to kill or nearly kill in 1 hit that helps. But it can be challenging. They seem to cause more healing than damage done in most instances. Kind of futile to do 2k damage in 3 hits and watch the toon heal for 2.5k x 3. But if you can do 8k damage in 1 hi, the healing once for 2.5K is not as bad.
I think that Fortunes should NOT clear silver buffs, and possibly heal for % of damage, not HP... but well.. not sure if they'd ever implement such changes.
I ultimately find them a lot like A Banshee.. annoying and only serve to slow things down, not make things more fun.
And actually I find M Lilith WAY easier to kill if she has them. She's a blocker.. hit OTHER toons and she takes damage and the Fortunes do next to nothing (because she's not being hit). Just don't attack her directly.
Thanks.Quote:

I second on the cleansing silver buff thing it’s a bit crazy.Quote:

Tho do take into account that some players bought the limited time defense relics to make this extra painful
One strat is to lower the fortune talisman user’s max hp and ashieve easier 1 shot
Ooh, nice, might have to crack out those assassin dudes a bit more then! And my newly acquired necro talismans!Quote:

I know fortunes fully cleanse debuffs, but that's at the start of the turn so if you heal block/crave on your first move, it'll still prevent them from healing after each attack.
Warrior Derby Demon power move is my main key to beating Fortune. Usually takes two cycles but you lower the max hp then your high damage dealers can just kill them easier.
Assassin warlord power move to inflict ghost+sehkmet(or any warrior equipped with valor) to remove ghost=1 turn defeat.
Warlord basic reduces max health 20%. Which is more than acr,beast,necropolis talis.
fortune has a chance to cleanse on any damage it takes, not at the beginning of turn, which is why this set is such a joke. best strategy i have seen is using the count to deal a massive single attack.Quote:

Interesting, I never knew sentinel corrupt rescuer did big damage!? So worth sharding up?
I dont know SCR is worth sharding before many newer toons. At one time it do descent damage, but its power move to remove negative buffs from allies and placing them on yourself along with the extra turn. Passive healing increases with negative buffs along with damage done with normal move.
An example, is you went against beelzebub with all the neagative effects it placed on your team could backfire and cause them to be destroyed on your next turn.
She can be useful in gauntlet. There are many older toons that can be useful. Yellow valkyrie with its cleansing skill can be overlooked. Same as sentinal desert guardian was overlooked, but its passive disable and ability to hold eternal breathed life back into him.
Oh shit, I didn't notice that. Yeah then, I guess lowering max health really is is the thing to do.Quote:

You need to use her Invincibility against her. I use FFE to inflict Heal Block then follow up with End of Night to inflict Doom or Alchemist Last Rites. Once she has Doom allow her to keep Invincibility on herself so that none of your allies damage and trigger Fortune. She will die in 2 rounds from the Doom.
Does the Fortune cleanse silver debuffs!? I thought it didnt....Quote:

Exactly! And with the next update the trigger chance of cleanse should be reducedQuote:
