Lava Guard Champion Loadout

If you're having trouble defeating Bommal the Dreadhorn on Stage C8 in the city of Sintranos in rotation #2, give Geomancer a try if you have him on your account. He seems to be able to beat this boss relatively quickly even with moderate level gear.

His kit is kind of counterintuitive to the fight but that's what makes it work so well. The HP Burn, Weaken, Decrease Accuracy debuffs all put in a lot of work along with his Stoneguard passive to really do some damage. Every time a Dreadbomb goes off and he is under an HP Burn debuff, he will take damage in return. 

Slow and steady wins the race here even though it's a quick fight. You can use A1s during the fight to slow it down and regenerate some of your health back up before triggering more bombs if you're thinking you might end up low on health at some point.


Strategy Description

We are going with Regeneration and Immortal set here for max regen for this fight. Get your speed and accuracy up to respectable levels. Usually around 400 accuracy will work for these hard encounters. Make sure you use lots of HP as well because the bombs ignore defense. You will need to regenerate your health back up quickly.You can use A1s during the fight to slow it down and regenerate some of your health back up before triggering more bombs.

* Some artifact sets have upgraded versions available. If you have a better upgraded version of this recommended artifact set, definitely use that instead.

I went with the Offense and Support trees here. You can easily go down the either tree to grab your 6th tier mastery of your choosing. Eagle Eye makes for a great mastery if you lack accuracy. Warmaster makes for a great mastery if you would like some extra damage.

Cruelty

Cruelty

Level 1 Blessing

Whatever blessing you decide to use here will be just fine. I repurposed my Geomancer from another fight for this fight so I didn't bother changing any blessings or masteries.


Level 6 Blessing

Same as said before. I do like Cruelty for this fight optimally speaking. Every hit matters. Every little bit of ignored defense matters.
