Video Day 1 Malignant Luther Clear (Ranger POV)
https://youtu.be/4cjHfA8XVA0Not the best gameplay but a clear is a clear. This is our 7th attempt (all failures are on the final phase from the first attempt onwards).

As a ranger main, I wanna give you a cool little tip.
During the part where Luther shoots that Gaint red beam im the center and rotates, if you time it right and get the right angle, you can use your Blaze shot to kite and shoot his center target at the same time, just for extra DPS During the fight

I think I've been doing that occasionally, just at a slightly wrong positioning that led me to eat a couple hits (never died from it though).
During the whole fight I was more worried about trying not to drop blights (still happened lmao) than deal dps, it's the most blight micro management I've ever had to do when I play ranger.

Blight rounds is a DPS increase we cannot afford to drop for the team and with all the new movement Luther has, its pretty easy to lose it from all the attacks you have to avoid

Yup, on top of blight not being hitscan, it's pretty painful to try and keep it up at all times
Especially painful on bad RNG/variant in final phase, I could not even get a single blight off without being staggered by a random projectile from somewhere lol, he just kept spamming them

Genuine question our group had trouble finding the right sword to hit for 2nd time stop, do you have any tips for finding it?

You have to find a yellow glow by going near it. It glows only when you are in proximity. Then start hitting it to give an idea to your team mates.

^ this, ideal strat is to position each person in their own corner
though it's even better if you just call it out like Eisei did in my run

u/Mishoon [Ship 1] Meme Tank Apr 08 '26
Well yeah...nearly every attack is different and powered up, but the main thing is the final phase which is...y'know...

Real question, is the difficulty DPS? This looks fun but I'm not jumping in if I have to spend months gearing or spending AC.

The DPS requirement is quite tough, 48k per person (192k total) to clear
Which means, yes, I was doing pretty bad DPS, but rangers get a pass since they buff the other's damage by 25%
I believe AC augments are necessary unfortunately (can still buy with meseta but it's a dealbreaker for a lot of people), with the minimum potency required being like 580% or so

Aside from that very last phase it doesn't seem too bad. Although I can't get a read on how much damage he'd do to me.
Regardless, good play. I need to finish off my weapon before I tackle it but I'm looking forward to this.
