NEW Terminator Sorcerer BOSS Is Going To Be A PROBLEM - Absolute | Space Marine 2
In this video we show off the new Terminator Sorcerer Terminus enemy in Battle Simulator in the PTS for patch 14.0.
This is probably the hardest enemy they have added to the game. Even after a couple of practice runs I'm still dying to it. Still can't consistently kill it with out dying/using stimms. If you made me fight Helbrute 1v1 ten times in a row I wouldn't lose any HP. But this guy is built different. He seems to have less HP than Helbrute, but there are less opportunities to deal good damage to him. With helbrute you get a gunstrike after each parry, but Terminator Sorcerer does 6+ hit combos and still won't give you a gunstrike. Not to mention the timings for the parries are more difficult. Once they reach half HP they will be able to create 3 clones. The main body disappears and you won't be able to damage him and you must take down the 3 clones before he comes back. The clones feel like they have terminator hp and can attack one after another. The most powerful/dangerous move from Terminator Sorcerer is the laser beam. He can initiate it from point blank or from afar and does insane damage. It continuously tracks you so you need to time the dodge or it will roll catch you and he will spawn temporary clones to do it multiple times in a row. The half hp clones can also do the move and they do it one after another, not giving you much time to damage the ones that aren't doing it. You can stagger them out of it, but only with things like grenades, adrenaline surge charged attacks, ground pound, etc.
He also has a move that summons a 3 chaos balls the shoot out more balls and you need to eliminate all 3, because while the balls are shooting he will start doing triple laser beams. The balls also build chaos status and deal good chip damage.
He also has a self explosion ability to punish anyone committing too hard into melee combo. Unless you are bulwark and can shield cancel the melee you will get punished.
And remember this is all in the context of a 1v1. In operations he will have a bunch of other enemies spawn with him making it even harder.
The class I took was Bulwark and I used a pretty standard shield bash build. I took the new Salamanders Heroic Power Sword and it is terrible. I will have a longer breakdown, but this is basically a worse fencing power sword, because the heroic perk doesn't even work and the stats are lower.
On the other hand the secondary we pick is the buffed heroic bolt pistol, which got a huge damage buff of 15%. This also affects the gunstrike damage and remember it got a 13% gunstrike buff a couple patches ago, so the gustrikes feel insane.
