My main issue with this boss is how it punishes the cycle of magic mastery. I’m not resetting everyone’s masteries for this guy. I get it for yumeko/kymar stuff, but it shouldn’t affect masteries
Biggest problem for me too, yes. You should be able to turn off gear effects/masteries without having to spend time and resources to rebuild the champions
Agree! Resetting masteries should always be FREE since we literally paid for them to begin with! This company is like governments, taxing and taxing and taxing us!
I keep complaining about this. Masteries should not be punished. It is poor game design. Abilities are fine because it locks out overused champions. But forcing users to intentionally nerf their champions is ridiculous.
Brilliant! 1 run. 213 turns, down goes Amius. Really nice, simple strategy, well-explained and clear. Terrific job! Thanks so much. Keep up the great work! Just 1 run!
I remember when I was really new to the game, I had Artak as my main source of damage in arena and was super lucky and got an Elva early on. I had fought some okay UDKs before, but getting Elva allowed me to push out of the lower arena levels and start going for gold medals. I will never forget the first time I ran into an actually tanky UDK with my team. It turned into a 4v1 and thanks to Elva's passive, the UDK was healing for like 10% of it's health every time I took a turn. Literally could not kill the stupid thing because my team was on the tankier/wear the enemy down side of the damage scale simply due to not having a true nuker champ. I swore never again and avoided UDKs like the plague for a long time... Now I have a Georgid and go UDK hunting for some sweet, sweet revenge!
Saph, my man! Just beat Anus thanks to your Godseeker suggestion! I subbed out my Gnishak for her and did it first attempt pretty much. My team was UDK, Blizaar, Morrigaine, Cardiel, and Godseeker. Best part is that I didn't have to change any masteries this time! 😊
very good guide. I did see Hakkhorn on someone beating Amius on the first day it was unlocked. I knew he would be great for this fight. Then i leveled him during this madness of a hero's path. I'll be using him in the future, cleanse and heal is too valuable for Cursed city.
Same problem as rotation one. Don't have Morrigaine. This boss is way overtuned on Normal. Yet another boss that punishes everything and relies on specific roster, paint by numbers approach.
If you don’t have morrigane’s permanent heal reduction, you can place decrease attack on Amius, and block debuffs on your team just before Amius changes back into normal form, and he will A3 first when he changes, you’ll block the stun, and you can put heal reduction up before he then does his normal form A2 heal…
You might have mentioned it and I just missed it, but it is important that UDK (or the tank you are choosing) has the lowest HP. The only other way to avoid someone else being hit is if you have taunt. Taunt can help force the boss to do the cleanse first in the healing form if it is still up so you have to be careful.
Thank you for showing us this Saph. I am sure if I put all my silver and had the patients to regear champs, I would be able to do this. But I have no patients to regear so I probably will not be doing this. Last rotation I somehow did the normal but didn't even bother with the hard Amius. Probably do the same this rotation. I just don't like this boss at all. He is annoying.
finally I managed to rebuild a team to take down Amius. Thank you, Saph, this team combo was flawless. I wish it just wouldn't take us so much silver to regear everyone.
@@HHGamingNetwork Cool, can you now provide a dozen alternatives for those who weren't around when UDK was given away to everyone? ...I swear, it was the same as last rotation with Pythion. Everyone but HH used him against Amius.
I managed to beat him because of your Skartosis suggestion,;) , my team UDK, morrigaine,tatura,uuko and skartosis, his increase rate ,increase attack before changing and clean after was the key, no masteries or books for him, thanks
I used Arbiter, Uuko, UDK, Blizzard, and Ratking. You don't even need heal reduction if you have damage and staying power. Since all of those champs, except Arbiter, had special events to give you Red Stars it increased their staying power. My Blizzard and UDK each have 4 stars. They keep the team alive while Bombs, Poison and Smite burn down the boss.
Great video! Thanks for the help with champion selection and substitutions. I have a question. Do you believe you may have been mistaken with your comment about Suzerain Katonn's A3? It says the buff removal cannot be resisted. It doesn't say the debuff cannot be resisted.
I managed to take him down finally WITHOUT Heal Reduction and Block buffs. I simply outspeeded and out damaged him with Arbiter-Togron-Razelvarg-Gnishak-UDK team. Timing decrease attack after he goes Ecipse and casts Bedloom was key.
You can lookup BuscoShot: The Average player 's video from 4 days ago. He intentionally proposes champions different from Siphi, Rotos and Morrigaine. It helped me build a similar team to his and i did it in 95 turns with Venus, Tatura, MaShalled, Aniri and Ukko. He explains the decision making process pretty well.
I think Anchorite can replace Scartosis. Will 6* him next for this. Has 2 debuff clense with buff extension. But at the time he uses clense, it should not hurt us, right?
Also, could in theory Blizzar substitute UDK? Iv got him 5star awakened, geared for SandDevil solo w brimstone. He could self revive if killed by A1. No dec Attack though
If you don't have Morrigaine another decent champion for heal reduction is Suzerain Katonn - still a legendary but his heal is a 100% chance to place heal reduction.
I cleared most stages on hard in the last rotation but couldn't kill Amius in normal. I'll try again this rotation as I have a 5 star UDK** and just got Godseeker. I don't have the other champs though. I'll try to find substitutes but considering it is a long and manual fight, I can't see putting much effort into it with so much else to do. ** I started when UDK was the logon champ. He carried me through so much content as a new player, it was crazy. Probably warped my progression and sense of the game. That also means I don't have any of the other free champs prior to that, nor those fusions. Keep in mind that those free things from long ago don't really help players that are "only" a year or two into the game, or less.
imma try this having hard time really blocking hes sleep debuff even block debuffs is up and still on normal mode!! i have all the pieces but not the gears lmao!!
I only have suzerain for heal reduction. Considering he is 4 CD not reduceable, what speed would you run him at? Plus his A3 says that only the buff removal cannot be resisted, you still need acc for the heal reduction i think
The only heal reduction champ I have is the epic Missionary from Sacred order. That's it. I don't think I'll beat him on hard this rotation even though I did it last time.
@@HHGamingNetwork I just need to figure out how to force Amius to either use his heal when Heal reduction is up, or have him wait a turn. At the moment if I place heal reduction he swaps it and heals next turn but if I don't place it as he transforms back he heals straight away, leaving me back to square one.
@@zylifvPlace the heal reduction when the eclipse counter is at 1 on the alt form. Boss reduces it by 1 turn, and it falls off just after the rransformation. I used Corpse Collector who has the same cooldown etc.
I don't have Morrigaine so I leveled up Old Ghrukkus. The only problem is... I apply his 2 turn heal reduction when Amius is on 2 turn eclipse. (without masterhexer or lasting gifts) When its amius turn, the applied poisons and the eclipse buff drop to 1 turn duration. The heal reduction and decrease attack however don't. Amius then proceeds to do his turns, the poison debuffs expire and he transforms the other two into increase attack and continouous heal... has to be some sort of bug, no`? Thanks for your content tho
It’s not a bug, having decrease attack as a debuff he can transform, forces him into his a3 first. The way around it is to have someone else place decr attack debuffs for him to transform, make sure you have block buffs up, let him do the a3 and then place the heal reduction, the decr attack then cancels out the incr attack.
@@travis9529 mulletreaver has a vid of him beating last rotation with crohnam instead. might be similar build but blizzar has lower cooldown on his rez and mulletreaver only has 3* brimstone and builds accuracy so stat requirements are prob different for 5* blizzar
@@DarkenedVibe I definitely remember seeing this last rotation from his channel, but didn't see anyone do it this rotation with Blizaar and Wukong. Makes sense, but would like to see a video with these champions specifically for this rotation.
did exactly that strategy to beat him, i thought this was the proper way to beat him anyway? team was: corvis in the lead with 1star brimstone, sun wukong with accuracy for buff stripping and 3star brimstone, frostbringer, 6 star ascended apothecary as dedicated tank and mausoleum mage for cleansing and block debuffs. no reviver since having to revive champs fucks up the run anyway 99% of the time, that goes double for using aniri with her cooldown reset on revive, which triggers amius. on normal i needed 10 minutes, on hard i got more lucky with brimstone procs and did it in 5:30
@@HHGamingNetwork from aniri? i tried to use her, but she just didnt do much and i needed the spot for more important stuff. one spot for heal reduction, one for a buff stripper, one spot for atk down and damage, one spot for a 6star champ as tank and one spot for block debuffs/cleanse/heal. these were all essentials and i couldnt leave out any of them. neither could i combine some of them in one champ. no place for revive, that only would be a luxury and nice to have.
Boss needs a nerf and/or conditions need to be relaxed a bit. Needing to throw entire teams in regen gear just to get by in Sintranos feels absurd to me.
You are probably the brightest bulb in Raid, I mean that with the upmost respect. With that said this boss fight is not for the masses and I wish someone would admit that. I understand why you don't want to, this boss is a "content creator killer'" Most of what content creators can put together for certain bosses in Raid is rather straight forward, this boss is not. The champs you can use constantly changes with every rotation and MOST can't put together a team for the first or the second rotations. "Content Creator Killer" because NO ONE can come up with an Auto version comp for this boss, that would be impossible. So just admit it, say yes you can do it but probably won't... most won't... Say, enjoy all the rewards Cursed City gives you. We'll keep giving you ideas but it won't matter for most. Sorry, it's just true. I never believed this was possible for any content in Raid. I haven't finished Shogun, but I can actually see the end and understand it. But not Amius, he's impossible to control, impossible to build ONE team to take him down. When you have to manual to win it takes some of the fun out of the game. Who wants to manual, NO ONE WANTS TO MANUAL a 15-25-minute FIGHT! You can even auto Hydra!!! My rant is done. I just hope you understand that this content is just for rewards and it's not about beating a boss, only because most can't. Rosters are only as big as time spent in the game. I believe your f2p accounts will show you that.
can do doom tower hard can't do this guy on normal cheap garbage skips turns does 100k crits on normal really lame mechanics just so whales have a challenge
whoa, whoa........who is this guy that said he would never use UDK! lets not be a hypocrite in our videos now. For a guy that hates this champion so much on live stream you sure are using him when it is to your advantage......
My main issue with this boss is how it punishes the cycle of magic mastery. I’m not resetting everyone’s masteries for this guy. I get it for yumeko/kymar stuff, but it shouldn’t affect masteries
Biggest problem for me too, yes. You should be able to turn off gear effects/masteries without having to spend time and resources to rebuild the champions

I remember when I was really new to the game, I had Artak as my main source of damage in arena and was super lucky and got an Elva early on.

Now I have a Georgid and go UDK hunting for some sweet, sweet revenge!
Saph, my man! Just beat Anus thanks to your Godseeker suggestion! I subbed out my Gnishak for her and did it first attempt pretty much. My team was UDK, Blizaar, Morrigaine, Cardiel, and Godseeker. Best part is that I didn't have to change any masteries this time! 😊
Thanks for showing the whole fight. Very helpful
very good guide. I did see Hakkhorn on someone beating Amius on the first day it was unlocked. I knew he would be great for this fight. Then i leveled him during this madness of a hero's path. I'll be using him in the future, cleanse and heal is too valuable for Cursed city.
Thanks heaps saph❤ I was able to clear Amius with this team (suzerain instead of Morringane). I thought I had to sit this rotation out. AMAZING WORK!
Thank you for confirming my suspicion that this fight is absolute garbage.
saw this mechanic covered on another channel, thanks for covering alternative champs :)
Same problem as rotation one. Don't have Morrigaine. This boss is way overtuned on Normal. Yet another boss that punishes everything and relies on specific roster, paint by numbers approach.
I left a comment above. You can actually beat him with no heal reduction at all.
Thank you very much Saph... that helped me to beat Amius, I just replaced the Hakkorhn with Cardiel :D
If you don’t have morrigane’s permanent heal reduction, you can place decrease attack on Amius, and block debuffs on your team just before Amius changes back into normal form, and he will A3 first when he changes, you’ll block the stun, and you can put heal reduction up before he then does his normal form A2 heal…

I thought Katonn still needs accuracy to place Heal Reduction. Only buff removal part is unresistable?
@HHGamingNetwork I found a champ that has a VERY Reliable Heal Reduction. Bone Knight (Rare) can keep it up 100% of the time if you wanted.
Can’t seem to get it work. Don’t have morrigane. Have the rest of the champs in similar builds. Trying with old man grukus but failing miserably 😢
Of course Morrigaine was one of the few fusions I skipped.
Same here, insta skip these videos as soon as I see her.
@theexel2000 - i gave multiple alternatives in the video for morrigaine

Everyone: saph is using UDK! 😂
I know, guess he only uses him when it suits and helps him.
The fact that you found a use for Skartorsis is absolutely insane
Ironically it was because his buffs suck xD
Would be really helpfull to see a run with a morrigane substitute.

this boss is complete garbage, I dont even want to think what he does, he does too much, and manual half an hour...
i dont have a high awakening udk, could i use a 6* vogoth to tank and bring a cardiel instead of hakkan?
Why does UDK not take the alt form Ameus a1 hit if Ameus is targeting another champion?
On both rotations i have done this, throwing out some irrelevant buff to get him to switch into a2 and a3 as i cannot survive his a1 machine-gun
Great video! Thanks for the help with champion selection and substitutions. I have a question. Do you believe you may have been mistaken with your comment about Suzerain Katonn's A3? It says the buff removal cannot be resisted. It doesn't say the debuff cannot be resisted.

have u seen the strat where ambassador lethelin can direct the attack by selecting who gets the taunt? saw it from another cc.
Using Archbishop instead of Morrigaine but Amius keeps doing Lunar storm first and performing turns out of order.
killed the boss with 8 hours to go until this rotation ends, many thanks
So what are the rewards for beating the boss?
I'll see if I can find an alternative to Skartorsis
Great video as always. I can't even get to amius but at least I have the knowledge 🤣🤣
