When testing on them both, I noticed they both deal almost identical damage to my health bar. Actually, it seems like Father Kymon has stronger regular attacks when compared to the Kaisan nemesis boss. The only heavy kind of damage Kaisan seems to do is poison. “P.S, I have 80+ resists…” But Father Kymon all around deals heavy damage no matter what type of attack. I feel like Kaisan is too tall and too pudgy to let Father Kymon ‘beat him at his own game’ so to speak. None the less, he seems to be one of the more challenging nemesis bosses in this game and I like his character design. Definitely one of the most fun nemesis bosses to encounter… and he talks crazily.
In SR he’s an absolute bitch. But Kaisan’s thing is that he’s resistant to everything so it makes sense that he won’t do as much damage as like reaper. He’s still more damaging than the vanilla nemeses tho, like moose.
If you meet him in Campaign, he is more challenging than the classic Nemesis which is quite fine. You can kite him away from his shards, but because of his really high resistances compared to other Nemesis he will still live a little bit longer.
Can´t say for Crucible but in SR…oh well. Not only that he does a lot of damage you have to kite him away from his shards and when you blink in the wrong direction (or better: blink in the reach of his shards) you got a problem.
Kai needs a nerf to his acid bolt pronto. Undodgable one-shot? Grava at least telegraphs his doomballs. With Kaisan it’s usually: he jumps you, debuffs you, drops his crystals, you try to gtfo, he one-shot acid bolts you and you die. Or just: he one-shot acid bolts you and you die.
I do agree that Kaisan doesn’t deal damage if it comes to his auto attacks.
I also don’t think the Doom bolt is the problem there - Conjurer, overcapped elemental, slightly overcapped everything else, ~50% pierce, aether and chaos, -14% acid (before Blood of Dreeg) and only 2500 DA. His max hit on me, I believe it was SR 65+, was about 6 - 7k and it probably was a crit.
Depends,if you can’t kill him quick enough,he’ll drain your life with these crystals.And if you’re on place with multiple debuffs or tight space,it could be lethal.
He’s harder in SR because of all the traps and enemies around him. I died to him in SR because of all the traps and enemies buffing him up. He’s easier in campaign because you can catch him alone and wail on him. I’ll have to post a video of it…:p:p:p
In campaign mode you can walk away from them and fight Kaisan safely in another spot, and he’s quite weak compared to other nemesis.
In SR this can be hard to accomplish due to small arenas and enemy density and those green shards are F****NG NASTY, so many deaths have been caused with their contribution.
So, IMHO, Kaisan should be buffed but the green Eldritch Shards (that’s the name?) nerfed.
imo father kymon is the issue here, not kaisan
his burn can be hard to arm yourself against, esp on his leap
I’m not saying it should be nerfed but I do suppose it is a bit weird for him to be ‘on par’ with a nemesis boss
The world needs to be a grim place
