i have a lvl 30 hydraulic, should i use hp things and do damage slowly but still stay alive, or using spell casting, or try to do lots of melee damage which starts to get lowered when he uses titan guard or something
BTW, when it says with ONE team member, it means you can use either vera or roald, but not both. I know this because i beat him with one teammate before and didn't get the achievement and someone told me.
You'll need Flash Freeze x2 and Subversion. I also recommend Restore, Impair, and Regulate.
Nostalgia has 4 stages. In the first stage, just make sure you use Restore to remove his damage over time effect and you can also use Regulate to get rid of his poison buff that improves his damage over time.
He'll use Titan Guard on the first turn he's dropped below 30000 health. Make sure he's stunned on that turn, and then he won't ever use it.
In the second stage he'll use a shadow buff that increases the damage he deals and receives. It's pretty much an instant kill if he hits you with that active, so use Flash Freeze. Or if you're low on health, use Subversion on yourself.
In the third stage, he'll be using a very powerful ice attack every third turn. Make sure you don't drop below 5000 health in the previous stage or he might kill you with it. Count the turns so that you know when he's gonna use it and you can use Subversion on yourself.
Then in the fourth stage, he'll heal himself for 10000 health every sixth turn. If your counting is uncertain, Flash Freeze him when you think he might use it, so then you'll know for certain he'll use it after he's unfrozen. Use subversion on him to kill him.
I dunno if there is a difference in our levels but I'm playing right now and he uses titan guard right after he gets unstunned.
to counter act that I just keep stunning him. I've got Crystallize leveled all the way up and Break all the way leveled up. I break him, my guys get in two attacks, and then I Crystallize him. by the time the effect wears off I'm ready to use Break again. Its not fast but its effective. If you add in Agile Exposure at max its twice as fast. Hit him the time he wakes up. your guys will get in 2 attacks on double damage and then you knock him back out. add in Predator form and Toxic form and you get it even faster. You dont need to bother with health since he never gets an attack off so you can just muscle up your guys with all their gear. You however have to be the slowest of your guys. That way you dont Crystallize him before he gets attacked. I'm level 27 and a Biological and this is what I used to beat Nostalgia.
