General DiscussionSiltbreaker act II in Matches tab on dotabuff

Don't tell me you've completed it and are working on breaking runtime records on it already? My experience has been terrible except for when on adventure mode. People in my bracket rage quit when they don't get 3 stars on the first zone. :D

^play in a 4 stack might help

I beat it twice. Not with our usual stack actually, but we need some better strats. We are having troubles with Siltbreaker himself.

No job. No money. No gf. No friends. Sucks at Dota. FeelsBadMan. Dreams of 4 stack LUL.

i think we just need more dps the waves are much easier to dodge than sandstorm/fissures and other than that the boss doesnt rly deal that much damage if we have a dedicated dmg sponge
i think we can pull off troll sf drow dazzle i bought deso and some1 can get caustic and we should melt him
the lake which is the 2nd hardest stage shouldnt be a problem either we had no waveclear but razes clear bears pretty fast

hello the boss was at 3% last time we just became too greedy and didnt focus that ogre who makes the boss stronger, thats all

and from there on it only gets easier because of artifacts

we also died repeatedly because some heroes lacked mana + when he gets to low hp its a complete ass because u need to run around killing slardars so the faster we bring him down the lowers the chance of dying

ye but thats an artifact/itemization issue

yeah and to make it work with our lineup we need that thing that converts ur mana to hp and its mega rare

After it took me almost 200 games on Part 1 to complete it with all 14 heroes and get 30 stars, I realised this campaign has less to do with teamwork and skill and more to do with artifacts. Simply playing dozens of games will give you a good chance of getting atleast a decent artifact that will improve your performance in zones you have no yet crossed or struggle in. After that, even team compositions don't matter. You can literally do it with garbage heroes, and bogdugg's cudgel was clearly broken in part 1. Eventually, after playing it a few hundred times, I'm sure I'll have enough coins to go all in on one game and have atleast a couple of teammates who gathered some common sense by making the same mistakes over and over.

No abaddon is a big issue I think. We were really used to playing with that hero but now he's gone.

true

but then again as i said this boss isnt rly on rhyzik lvls of damage so its salvageable

You don't realize how much his basic attacks do I think. Especially since he has almost-MKB and he reduces your armor by like 50 by the 3rd hit. The only reliable way against this was Abaddon ulti. Most of the time he is not actually attacking but still.

i got the impression rhyzik was attacking faster and dealt more dmg, didnt he?
