Apollyon Endgame Boss Fight – Mechanics, Counters & Pro Tips
2025-04-07 08:42
Hello everyone. Today, we’ll break down the strategies for tackling the endgame boss Apollyon, especially with the upcoming "Super Apollyon" difficulty in Season 2. This guide will help both new and experienced players master the fight.
Preparation
Before facing Apollyon, ensure your character meets these benchmarks:
Effective HP (EHP): At least 8,000 to survive most attacks.
Resistances: Cap physical, void, and elemental (fire/lightning/ice) resistances at 75%. Consider some "ailment resistance" to mitigate debuffs.
DPS: Aim for 2 million or higher for a smoother fight. Lower DPS (e.g., 500k) is viable but requires precise mechanics.
Mobility: 100% movement speed is ideal. If unattainable, 70% speed + two dashes/blinks works.
Cleanse Effects: While optional, sources of "purge" (e.g., flask modifiers or passive skills) are highly recommended to counter Apollyon’s debilitating debuffs.
Boss Mechanics Overview
Apollyon’s health consists of:
Base HP: 4.66 million (visible red bar).
Shield Phases: At five fixed health thresholds, he gains a shield equal to 75% of his max HP. Factoring in decay, his effective total HP is ~22.17 million.
Note: In-game DPS (e.g., 2 million) is measured against training dummies; actual damage dealt to Apollyon is ~10%, making his effective HP closer to 200 million dummy HP.
Lower-DPS builds benefit from shield decay, reducing total damage needed.
Apollyon has 0% resistances and armor, so your damage isn’t penalized, but his attacks hit extremely hard.
Key Abilities & Counters
1. High-Threat Skills (Prioritize Dodging)
Time-Shattering Smash: Highest damage in the fight (hit + ground DoT). Requires 10k+ EHP to survive.
Triple Flail Combo: Three directional strikes (front, right, left). 6k EHP minimum to tank.
Scorched Earth (after Smash): Leaves a deadly DoT zone. Lure Apollyon to place these near edges.
Oblivion Beam (Phase 5): 10k DPS laser with a long wind-up—always evade.
2. Positioning Control
Apollyon’s movement follows predictable rules:
If you’re <5 units away, he backsteps.
If you’re >5 units away, he charges or uses Flail Dash.
Pro Tip: Keep him in the mid-ring zone of the arena. Avoid the center (laser overlap risk) and edges (harder to dodge Triple Flail).
3. Singularity Skills (Fixed Rotation, 20s Cooldown)
Ice Singularity: Spawns a frost zone that spirals projectiles inward. Avoid the center to prevent rapid hits and chill stacks.
Fire Singularity: Creates pulsing fire zones. Low damage but clears Void Puddles (explained later).
Chaos Blade: A spinning void blade. Easy to dodge; low priority.
4. Arena Hazards (Escalating Difficulty)
Void Puddles:
Every 25s, five void orbs spawn in a "V" pattern toward the player, leaving permanent DoT zones on contact.
Solution: Group puddles together and erase them with Fire Singularity.
Void Lasers:
Fires every 18s from the arena center. After 1s of tracking, it locks direction and persists.
Critical: Each new laser replays all previous locks. Prolonged fights risk full-screen coverage.
Lasers apply Corruption (stacking debuff): -6% damage and -15% leech/regen per stack (multiplicative). Purge these immediately.
General Tips
Boss Positioning: Maintain mid-ring control to manage lasers and flail attacks.
Dodge Priority: Focus on evading Time-Shattering Smash and Oblivion Beam.
Puddle Management: Cluster Void Puddles for Fire Singularity cleanup.
Laser Discipline: Aim to overlap lasers in one direction to preserve safe zones.
Debuff Control: Use cleanse effects to remove Corruption stacks.
High-DPS Players (4M+): Can ignore mechanics and burst Apollyon quickly.
Low-DPS Players: Master positioning and cooldown management to outlast the fight.
