The king is dead, long live the (scarab) king!

Hey all


I'm looking at making some new anti scarab king builds since champs like coldheart and royal guard are no longer as effective as they once were.


I now have a level 50 fully booked (no scrolls yet) ascended metalshaper, a metalshaper who just dropped from a blue shard and hasnt had any work done yet, a pair of falconhearts left over from the current event and 2 30/30 fully ascended scrappers who i havent booked yet and will probably get another from the dungeon diver event starting tomorrow. I've also got a few other shield champs here and there with some decent shield gear in my inventory so hopefully i will be ok and not lose shield and then be provoked too much.


Also have 13 food 5 stars and a couple of chickens, some of which are going to be used on Astralon. Not sure about the rest yet.


Heres the question: I've got an old Lord Champfort in my vault at 50/50 fully ascended and scrolled but no books, heard people saying he can be a viable scarab boss if you can get his passive booked (which is attainable as hes a legendary you dont have to sack the Library of Alexandria to collect enough books for) but the only videos ive found are of him being used to walk through the nightmare campaign in immortal gear.


Can anyone advise me on how to gear him for the scarab? I have a tonne of relentless gear stored but im unsure if its the right way to go in the tower since tower builds and dungeon builds arent always the same thing, especially once bosses start appearing.

do  you  mind  sharing  your  pool  of  champions  here. probably  some  of  us  here  can  help

note  :  i  previously  use  4  turn  meter  champ  with  MM  on  relentless.  And  afterawhile  i  decided  to  use  vergis  and  solo  him  against  scarab  king.

I just use Coldheart yesterday when I farm the Scarab king at floor 100 of doom tower hard. Why did you say she is no longer effective as before? I auto the battles, win 9 out of 11 runs.

which difficulty ive wiped normal and working through hard as we speak 

normal i ran 

miscreated monster speed over 200, alure spd over 200 but under mm and need 100% crit rate, armiger in destroy set speed was just under 200, apothecary for speed boost which basically turned the MM shield into 100% upkeep and rhazin TM and dec def - rhaz tore through scarab king


hard i found it a beast at floor 30 - i luckily pulled a vergis couple weeks ago and have him built out and almost fully mastered, i ran similar team to above but key was to manual round 3 to ensure vergis didnt throw his a2 or scarab would steal it - u want the 4 other champs to die then let vergis work away - he needs high resistance to get through  and wipe boss - magical number for me was around 240 but im sure thatll need to push up to 300 by floor 100 


im pretty sure my normal scarab team could do hard with better gear to push their speeds and resistance up being the key - scarab boss speed 225 if your under that he laps you and breaks up my team synergy and timing - im working on getting that team to 230 speed at least each and then see how i go. 


good luck ive got metal shaper also but need couple more rare books to book him out then ill try him, all the books i dropped landed everywhere but where needed lol

Yes,  you  can  duplicate  ben's  line  up.  Its  just  that  allure's  a1  is  usually  rng,  but  however  a  couple  of  runs  should  probably  works.  

ensure  your  turn  meter  controls  champ  has  enough  accuracy  and  speed.  like  my  allure  last  time  was  at  220  speed  on  relentless.  It  made  our  job  easier.  

and  you  can  use  high  khatun  as  speed  leads  too.

Cheers guys


I was drawn in by talk of how great Champfort can be and seeing videos of him soloing the nightmare campaign using his self shield passive I thought he might be something worth pursuing for the doom tower scarab.


Looks like I might be better off with other champs who I have already invested in.

A1 even being off affinity hits pretty regularly - when it hits on all 3 hits massive reduction but having armiger in that line up was back up tm controller and frank (mm) hits tm rarely but helps when does 

good luck took me few weeks to sort my lineup out as i it was frustrating the buggery out of me but once it hit was sweet 

i cant run mine auto but 100% manual win rate - im not to fazed by time taken as long as he gets wiped im happy 


DT hard is a whole new kettle of fish crikey those floors def jump in in level let alone the bosses lol

I ran 11 multi battles on Floor 100 hard using Coldheart, of course. Out of 11 battles, only 2 runs fail hence the remaining 2 silver keys. The runs can be a lot faster if I can gear Armiger in destroy set. Right now, only Coldheart is in destroy set in my team.


i

By the way my Alure now is on Affinity Breaker set so she is now more consistent in decreasing turnmeter. I will still observe if the high win rate will continue. Before I was only doing around 50-70% win rate without Alure in Affinity Breaker set.
