Helena

Having an issue with Helena.

There is no way to avoid her hitting you with those slow ball things she throws. Even having the Elondrian Ward AND charged fully upgraded razor shield, you still get reduced to a very slow crawl. Problem is, she often does her red zone attack right after this, and if you're trapped anywhere close to where she points her red zone, she will one-hit kill you. There is no possibility of avoiding it, because no matter what you do, you can't move.

This is an annoyance for me, as a very experienced player, but for anyone less experienced, it could turn them off the event totally.

yea..as a low level player..it took almost 10min..to kill her....and I was a lv 21 rogue mind you, So low level peepes..prepare to die tons. (RIP Zelda....you will be missed)

lol the witch. its dem hard. I agree. but my lvl16 war can take dmg lol. I usually save the horn shield when get root though.

euphorex is like ferrix. he can root too. and if u get rooted inside his purple healing pool, one hit and u GG lol.

I can now imagine how tough will be the last boss. I hope it doesn't have healing pools like euphorex.
last boss will probably does insane dmg like tribal abomination bboss

No, part of her mechanic is a constant AOE damage effect that players have a chance to dodge. You will need to be crafty in using support heals and potions to stay alive!

I'm getting one-hit ko'd when far outside her red zone. I figured this was a latancy thing, but there's no way to avoid it. This is intentional? 'Cause if so, I am getting my dovabear and spending the rest of the 3 weeks farming essences elsewhere. I am not even getting a variety of bosses, this is the only one I have seen in the last 30 runs.

what level range are you playing her at? It should not be a one shot unless you have geared yourself in a very very glass cannon way.

so if insta-kills you..what does that mean for noobs...wasted energy i say XD.

That's what I'm sayin. There's something wrong with this chickie. And there's nothing worse than fighting for 5 minutes and being killed right before she dies because you can't avoid the hits.

**Carapace** · 07-01-2014, 04:35 PM

we will watch for more feedback on this skill, as it may need to be tuned down. We are watching and listening as the initial feedback comes and the event settles in.

**Serancha** · 07-01-2014, 04:37 PM

Thanks Carapace. No fun having to do every fight twice.

**Reunegade** · 07-01-2014, 05:02 PM

My L15 tank with sword shield and a ton of HP and armor got one hit by her. :/

I'm geared fully,arcane ring mythic daggers samael,and I get one hit by her also. I'm lvl 41 4.2k hp

She does have a heavy bow attack that has a Arrow shaped tell, you need to be in close though, and this is a VERY powerful attack. Could you be getting this one confused with the aoe stars falling from her rain of arrows?

**csyui** · 07-01-2014, 05:14 PM

She is 5 times tougher than the crocodile, but grants less tokens than croc.

That is the one I am talking about. The AOE stars can't be avoided, no matter what you do. So she shoots a star then once you are immobilized by that, she comes and power-arrows you when you can't move. When this happens, there is no way to avoid it. You said the AOE things should be dodgeable but they are not.
