Minister Lascivius seems impossible !

I have been trying to defeat Minister Lascivius now for quite some time. He has just over 4 Mil. power. I started trying to defeat him when I was just over 3 Mil. power and level 57 or so . He averaged about 5k to 8k per hit to all my heroes. I am now just over 4 Mil. power about = to his and I am level 63 now . I have added plenty more health and magic defense to my heroes, I pretty much focused all my talent gains on Third Eye and Constitution. Strangely enough he still hits an average of 5k to 8k on all my heroes. I am at a loss to explain why he hits just as hard ? His damage output seems to be locked at the same amount. Could he be bugged or glitched ? I would think there should be some amount of decrease in his damage output after leveling and building the proper defenses to his magic . Any suggestions and help is very much needed . Thanks ! Happy Hunting !

Power isn't everything.

Minister lascivius does have quite a bit of attacking power but he also has quite a bit of hp. You will never defeat him if you only focus on building up defensive power. Pay attention to whether you can get a critical hit on him or not and if you can what heroes have high enough crit rating to do so. Pay attention to whether he dodges or blocks alot. Pay attention to if you ever dodge his attacks. Change your runes according to observations regarding those 5 stats.

Change morale runes to minimize wasted skill attacks early in the fight (using driving blow against an enemy that would die in one normal hit for example).

Change up your formation to most effectively wipe out the underlings and still get attacks in on lascivius. Also if you have shayd, I would recommend using her if at all possible.

There's a lot to consider when trying to beat a tough boss and I probably only scratched the surface.

I beat him probably when I was 3 mil power give or take.

First of all Thanks for replying to my post :) I have tried many formations and even many different hero combos . I believe I have the heroes to get the job done they just cant survive his attacks long enough.... My main concern is why does he hit me just as hard from the time I started to now ? there should have been some diminished damage taken ...no ? You have given me some good advice, I will most definitely benefit from thanks :) The mystery still remains on why his damage output remains the same after 6 levels and a lot of defense increases . :)

Minister Lascivius primarily deals magic damage. Boost your cloaks and chestguards and get some Messiness runes going. If you think he's tough wait until you start trying to take out the Heroic Realm version of him. :) He runs 30 million power and is no joke to deal with.

Congrats, I think you have found another one of the boss hidden abilities. For this case, your def wouldn't help much. Try adding health, dodge and block, and hit hard enough. Shayd's stun is always compulsory. Use bloodstorm for its added advantage when he's low HP

downed minister with 3,1 million power

with a cianna - shayd - bloodstorm - main -ada line up

ofcourse they get harder.. you just have to be smarter.. hehe ;)

Get Shayd and stun minister before he gets to fire more than 1 turn.

Kill all the other minions while Shayd keeps on stunning him.

Well thanks to all your advice ...I finally beat Minister Lascivius :) ....I used some Magic Defense runes and played around with my formation also put in Adamanti ..... and Shayd finally put in a good effort ! Thank you all :)

Good work there.

Now you shall meet Firelord.

I am struck at the Minister Lascivius in heroic. 1 month , good job on the devs in ruining the fun of this game as they can't develop a proper game and earning on a totally messed up game. Earn as much as you can by opening new servers, this game doesn't have a future at all.

I'm currently stuck on him as well. Seems to be a bit of a gear check here, requiring lots of Magic Defense and damage. Guess what I'm leveling tomorrow.....

The problem isn't the critter, really. I FINALLY just got past him today after weeks of trying. The problem is the scale of progression. At the beginning of the game, I was 2-3 times the power of everything because of how rapidly you level. So naturally, you pretty much blow through everything. Then there was the gradual tapering of explosive power gains by the player. I found that the battles were more appropriate to my level, though progress was still pretty quick.

Then, where I had been, I could take on things up to 9 mil power in heroic realm, but couldn't get past this guy. Nothing I had, nothing I did, no rune, no equipment, no talent was going to get me past this guy. And it was like that for weeks. Now, if this guy had shown up a few quest iterations later, no harm no foul. I went from having to spend about 2 days getting past something (via power increases, formation changes, focusing on raising other runes, whatever) to several weeks. It's too much of a jump. at the point of progression where the player meets this guy.

No one is saying this guy should be easy to beat. Everyone expects the battles to get more difficult as one progresses. But there is a stark jump between what one had been fighting and this guy. There needs to be something in the middle. Instead of taking the average player 2 days to get past it, creep it up to 4. Then a week. Whatever.

It really is no fun when you can't progress. And not only can't you progress, but you have no shot at all in the battle. And you're like that for a month. Now that I've beaten the guy, I really don't feel any sense of actual accomplishment about it. I feel more like I went through labor for a month and didn't end up with the kid in the end. Now, I'll spend about an hour skipping through the next batch of riff raff until I get to the dreaded "next guy" and get stuck again.

Seriously, no one is playing this game for the riveting storyline. The maps and critters are all recycled, the "story" consists of a random sentence thrown at you now and then and when you do win, you get the obtrusive vapid looking gal in blue with the strange hair style to give you your few hundred thousand coins and creds, and the 5 cards from which you will get a pittance. And that's totally ok. Just grab some more of those same maps and critters, pick a few extra data points in the middle to adjust their power, and use them for filler between the last guy and this Lascivius character. I promise I won't mind. I like being able to log in and do some brainless hack and slash. But please, give me something I can actually do that to with the scantest nod at variety.

Have you tried looking at the formations used by the first 3 people to beat him? I used
Shayd - Bloodstorm - Me
0 - 0 - 0
0 - Adammati - Calvin

You can also try swapping the positions of Bloodstorm and Shayd.

I've seen people at 10m power beat him.
You will need Bloodstorm, Cianna, Adamanti and Shayd.

Have all your heroes get enough Health Points to survive at least 2 rounds being hit by the Horns of Hell.
Then let Shayd and Cianna do their thing. Replay often until luck favours you.

Don't bother getting magic defense runes. Focus on getting max level on your damage and health runes instead.

I dd it without Cianna in my form and used dawn instead... I upped my Dodge/HP/Damage runes and gear as magic defense seemed to not have much of an effect. Formation is the key for sure, and finding a form that gets all of the fodder out of the way as fast as possible, but make sure shayd stays alive. Then keep fighting him repeatedly until you get that good round that takes him out.

I used
Adam Dawn x
x x x
Blood Shayd Leader

Seriously!!!!! :mad: you necro a thread just to say that :mad:

really? weres you honor or respect? huh?

:mad::mad::mad::mad

you guys are talking about different things here, some are clearly talking about quest and others about heroics. I am stuck on heroics, the major problem is that cianna doesn't stun anymore as she used. shayd also seems to have gotten some kind of nerf. cianna always used to land stuns better than shayd which makes sense because she needs to build up morale and shayds magic attack would be every round and can be dodged, evaded (miss) and resisted. however since the big update cianna doesn't land her stuns anymore. best sign for this are banishes and the fact that in heroics in the same formation I do runs range from 20% to 92% in the same formation. the 90%+ happen so far twice on over 500 runs but is the same formation with better runes I have than as I beat him before on older servers.
cianna needs to be restored to her hold land rate ASAP or this will never happen.

ps: on our server the top 10 players are failing him and no one was able to defeat him yet. my gear is complete iron except for the relics, the materials for 5 relics are farmed and the stamina bars are full and we are ready to move on now and have started farming lightbringer mats
