However, I’ll state what makes them more powerful than before and list the ones which are much more significant in strength compared to others. There is actually quite a number of minions which have become much more powerful due to the reduction of dodge, so going through each and every one of them means a lot of ground to cover. Constant poison arrows with multi-hit minions degrade one’s dodge ever so constantly throughout the raid Minions This helps to quickly scrape away effective dodge, allowing minions to rush in for the kill. Nettle Grove and Forbidden Courtyard ( which I’ll do a post soon), are trap rooms that innately deal ongoing damage to raiders (poison arrows flower traps). With the nerf of Fire Cone, Nature aligned trap rooms (and correspondingly Nature minions) are much more resilient than ever. Just fill it up with Ice Colossi, Mezzogians and Kringle and this makes this particular room a highly dangerous configuration that most would undoubtedly avoid. Close quarters of the Guardhouse, coupled with invulnerability buffs, makes it much more of a challenge than beforeĪ well set-up Seashore, especially with its silence, makes short work out of most non-light geared raiders as it is much easier for minions to get in their attacks due to the short distances. Seashore Retreat and Guardhouse both are equally more problematic now, since minions are immediately situated right in front of you and there is little room to escape. The variable dodge mechanism has made smaller trap rooms even more dangerous. Speaking in the context of raiding ( since it’s the most common gameplay in DH5), the new ‘ Meta‘, or what is currently considered good in the game, can be broken down in terms of Trap Rooms and Minions. This will also include strategies to cope with the modifications in combat mechanics.įor those who have yet to see the earlier post about the changes from the most recent update, do give it a read here before proceeding. Now that we have covered the changes, the next part looks into what actually has been impacted and what exactly do we have to look out for.
