Diablo 4 - Barbarian - HOTA WA - Uber Lilith Solo Kill - Different stagger strategy in P2
Played around with Lilith with my HammerSwing build (Yep, naming sense) to understand her stagger in P2. Used Flask: 20% Attack speed. HOTA Ancestral Force aspect trick: Currenty, the shockwave from the ancestral aspect does more damage than the actual hit from HOTA. This is why you can see me aiming away from the target when using HOTA. You have to use shift (or your hold position key) to be able to HOTA away. Stagger strategy: Since we can't see the stagger bar (Not sure if Blizzard hide it on purpose or not), it can be hard to properly time it. In P2, you can't stagger her more that 3 times (Each time you stagger her it becomes incremently harder to stagger her again - ~50% every time) and you can't see her stagger bar, which makes timing it quite hard. In P2, she has an initial "stagger pool" of ~180 (You need 5 challenging shouts to stagger her - ~41 per shout without booming voice). 2nd stagger is ~320 (8 challenging shouts). Idea was to stagger her a first time after she breaks the 2nd platform, in order to have an other one on the last platform. You can see that during the beginning of P2, I used challenging shout on her 4 times, and then stopped using it. This is to prepare the stagger for later. You can see me respeccing into concussion at the 6:39 mark - She just performed an ability, and lets a bit of 'downtime' to do it. First stagger happens at the 6:53 mark. Second happens at the 8:20 mark. Unfortunately, I didn't get really lucky with crits, so she survived the 2nd stagger. But with a bit more luck, I'm sure she could have died right there. Still, I think this is an overall better execution that my previous kill video. Used build - Note that I only spec into concussion when I want to stagger her - Else it would mess with the whole strat :) : https://d4builds.gg/builds/68dec947-f30b-4046-8e41-7e1cdb88d5c1/ More information: https://discord.com/channels/989899054815281243/1120420295023542343 0:00 Phase 1 2:45 Phase 2 8:45 Deadge
