Lets just give a little story of the monstrosity of a hero pod I just ran into in veteran on a new character (I enjoy playing new characters on veteran, not just powerleveling in normal, sue me).
Spined Cove shrine, so everything is ghost (And oh guess what, undead got buffed this patch. Not much, but a buff). In it are the usual shadow strike hero that always spawns from the shrine it seems, with a frost spell that freezes, a regenerator (Who spawned with a Plaguebearer’s Crossbow to boot), and a charger who I think had a defensive aura, hard to tell. The regenerator is constantly running behind the 2 heros he spawned with, and a charger summoned tons of skeletons 24/7. Sound unfun already? I start kiting them. To FIND another pod with ANOTHER shadow strike hero who only spawned once I ran past.
In grand total, at level 22, 4 heros, one of them a regenerator who was debuffing my resistances that I couldn’t focus for the life of me because of the 3 other high damage threat heros on top of me, who was constantly healing the 3 high damage heros constantly on top of me because they had 3 dashes, while one of them even was bringing a freeze. I’ve never had my ass handed so thoroughly in veteran, lol. Actually ended up dying to it in the end after a valiant fight that took out 2 of the heros before the other shadow striker finally got me. Meanwhile, my damage was shit because I haven’t managed to find an upgrade to my weapon since level 10, meaning lol screw you. Tickle the heros as they continually got healed by the regen aura, while they slam your face in. The normal counterplay of killing the regen hero first didn’t work, because he had a constantly refreshing wall of high threat bodies spawning between me and him that he constantly ran behind, while throwing out attacks and P-blades that would shred my already really low because its early game resistances.
Anyone else got any stories of absolutely monstrous spawn combinations?
