Zantarin the immortal just one shot me. What am I doing wrong?

So I met zantarin the immortal on crucible wave 150 and he one shot me. I was recording this so I went back at looked at the recording to see if there was something I missed, and stepped through my death frame by frame.

So at one frame I have 7494 life (I’m lvl 72) out of my max 8140. The next frame I was on 0.

So I thought I’d check out how much damage I took from him, and according to the stats screen, most damage from 1 attack is 3601… So either this screen is bugged, or I took 3601 from more than 1 source at the same time and that stat is useless.

Anyway, what can I do to survive a shot like that?

Edit: I read he does vitality dammage, and I have 83% resist. So did he do 44k damage in one hit?

Edit2: here is the video https://youtu.be/JiphrfMyoqc

You’re not doing wrong. You just have a bad luck.

He has a skill to shot a vitality projectile like a shotgun, but he rarely use it even it is one of the most dangerous skill in game.
If you get debuff by his Curse of Frailty too. It’s amp. the dmg you get up massively. Anyway only the skill shot itself is capable for killing everyone who took all the shot.

If his AI is smarter, it’d be true nightmare of every reckless melee build.

What you can do is don’t jump in so recklessly and try not standing in front of him 1vs1 for long time.

My commando has 16+k health(with crucible buff) active overguard and play S&B build was killed by that one shot skill from approaching in front of him with blitz.

Each projectile of Zantarin’s vitality shotgun deals vitality and life reduction (i think it’s 15% in each projectile). So yeah, getting shotgunned by several projectiles at once with each dealing 15% life reduction plus vitality.

It was probably his infamous shotgun attack… he uses that attack if you’re too far away from him.

The nice thing is, once you know what the shotgun looks like it’s not too hard to dodge it.

I’ve been looking over the video and what I see is some sort of red phantomy skulls swirling around him as I walk towards him.

Btw is it usual that he clones himself or can you get a double spawn of him, there where clearly 2 of him in my last wave.

He can get a double spawn’

And trust me he ain’t the worst multiple spawn.

The worst double spawn in the game is Valdaran

P.S

It’d be funny if in expansion we get Secret Gladiator only wave 151 called Celestial wave and all the clones and Mogdrogen attack the player character out of nowhere :slight_smile:
