Tips
- You should aim to kill the two spiderlings then kill Sorath –Leechis very useful to stop the transfer of debuff as areStun, Freeze and Sleep debuffs on spiderlings, which makes free champions such as Ghrush the Mangler (login rewards) very valuable, as he provides leech and continuous heal for your team, and a potential attack down on the boss.
- Sorath will revive if she is not killed under HP Burn making champions such asDrexthar,IgnatiusandTyrant Ixlimorvery useful. Single Target HP burns such asBulwarkandCoffin Smasherare excellent alternatives.
- You can Turn Meter control Sorath making champs such asArmiger,Alure,Psylar to name a few strong here, however, turn meter reduction IS reduced vs Sorath, so it will be very hard to keep her turn meter down at higher levels.
- Decrease Speed – This will help to keep your turns up vs the boss, and allow you more cooldown resets to keep yourself alive vs Sorath.
- Enemy Max HPchampions are excellent for dealing damage to Sorath who has a high Max HP, please note though – these hits cannot exceed 10% of the bosses health.
Niche Strategy:You can block the revive of Sorath usingBlock ReviveChampions.
To beat the Ice spider you will need patience and sustain (oh and HP burn). This will be a long fight as all you need to do is outlive the spider, doing this will ensure you complete the level. To keep sustained you will need cleanses, heals and shields! Much like the rest of the doom tower bosses, these buffs are just what you need to get the best out of your team!
HP burn is almost mandatory against the ice spider as it will revive unless it has the debuff active on it unless you are using a block revive champion. Drexthar Bloodtwin is a very good example of the champion, due to the fact he is available to everyone from theBazaar. You’ll need, just make sure it has the required accuracy to land the debuff, but due to his +70 ACC in all battles Aura, it will be significantly easier to acquire.
A common tactic used for this fight is running one HP burner, with very high accuracy, and plenty of sustain in your team (This can also be 2 manned if you have a tanky enough healer!) We recommend using Ghrush/Another leech champion in this setup so that you avoid the boss getting 50% Increase Attack buff, from the Left Spiderling
Focus the left spiderling and apply HP burn, then apply HP burn to the right spiderling, these will then tick the bosses HP down with burns slowly, while you keep your team alive. By the time both of the Spiderlings are dead you should be in a position where the boss is very low health, and it is just a case of having a HP burn land to finish it off.
This boss can be soloed but requires incredibly high gear, there are videos of champions such as Sethallia doing this, but also Coffin Smasher!!
