100% Squashman Ambush - Canadian Difficulty

LucianoDelHoya

It's becoming a joke, i have to just bring a counter for him which eats up 33% of my champion placement. Yeah i havent used any pots but a 100% Ambush in 6 paths joke!

Rookiie

Maybe it's because Squashman is your profile pic

With those champs you have, I don't see why you're complaining. It's not like he's a hard fight in any capacity.

Edit: Love when the forums double post

You have HT who eats him. If you can't clear the rest of the 4 fights with 2 champions then you need to improve. Being able to do a piece of content doesn't entitle you to be able to 100% it. If you are not enjoying this piece of content don't do it, you have a choice. If you want the rewards on offer this is the price you have to pay.

I’m also getting Sasquatch ALL the time. I’ve only managed to do one path so far in the Canadian difficulty. Also as a newish player I don’t have any 5/65s or a 5* HT

Bidzy7

@TP33 then you are not ready for this difficulty.

So, let me get this straight. He is not entitled to complain about it, because he can do it.

And people who can't do it, they are not entitled to complain, because they are over-reaching beyond their skill / roster.


To sum it up, we are not entitled to complain. Period.

I see.

Took me 18 paths to get the 3 fights in week 1, slightly less in week 2, got him all but 1 path in Canadian in week 3.

Bugmat78

Yeah the RNG has definitely been ramped up in this week. I wonder if that's going to be the m.o. in other side quests of this nature from now on? I mean it gives me practice with fighting this new champs ala Moleman but it is noticeably different.

@Bidzy7 so how come I’m Cavalier and I’ve 100% explored all the past weeks.

The irony is that you think that people should be entitled to complain. You just summed up a problem that most of the western world seems to have. Entitlement and Complaining.

"Oh man I'm earning all this money, from my real easy job, but why do I have to work in the first place. This sucks."

The people who can't do it, legitimately should focus on other areas of the game to improve, instead of having this fast track instant gratifying mentality where they should just be able to do everything immediately. The reason that a lot of the people who aren't having this issue is because they've either invested a lot of time, or money, into gaining their roster to be able to do it. People can't always have their cake and eat it too, sometimes you've got to give as much as you want to get.

lol being cavalier isn't an entitlement to being able to do the content. You have 0 5/65 champs, that means you haven't even 100% act 5.

Getting cavalier isn't hard to do just need the right champs.

Last weeks were easier as you had less chance to be ambushed as there was less open tiles.
The rewards have increased as has the difficulty. Clearly this seems to be the limit of your roster at the moment. So you need to go back and work on it. start on getting some rank 5 champs by doing act 5 100% and the variants.

The irony is that although I do agree with your post, I strongly disagree with the area that you lay your approach and with the whole ethos behind it. I am not one to cater to entitlement and I do work my best, in this game, in my business and personal life and I feel I am entitled to nothing but what I have worked for.

However, you seem to take away from your post the very fact that we are in an online open forum that people come to discuss their concerns, among others, about the game. And your whole post seems to overlook this simple fact and you, on top, seem to secure for yourself the privilege to decide what people discuss or not in a public forum. And this, fellow-member, is a deeply narcissistic and fascist approach, and I stand against it.


In other words, take your snobby and fascist attitude elsewhere. We don't ask permission for what we discuss or not.

Clear enough?

Calling someone a fascist and also saying that it's an open discussion. Take a look in the mirror you plebeian. Your entire last two paragraphs are the epitomy of hypocrisy and delusion. I'm done with talking to idiots.

Woozie

I agree with you OP - last 2 weeks you'd get once every 6 paths or so, or even less. I am getting ambushed every 1/2 or 1/3 at the least, and it's not about being able to do it:

It's boring and repetitive, same thing as fighting 100 Moleman's on that event quest that was similar to this one.

altavista

I initially struggled with the Sasquatch ambushes, either needing to bring in specific counter or just quitting out and doing a separate path.

As with all things, once you get used to the playstyle and defender abilities, it is not so bad. He can be beaten by many champions, you don't really need a dedicated counter (I guess the only thing that would be necessary would be being able to manage the regen - either outdamage the regen, or heal block/remove the regen). Chances are, the champions you bring to Canadian difficulty can defeat Sasquatch.

Having said that, Sasquatch is not a fun champion to fight against, so I still dread facing him.

@Bidzy7 i could R5 a 5* right now if I wanted to I’m just waiting on T4CC for Ægon. What’s more is I know I can do this content without the ambushes. I’ve got through all the fights up until the ambushes without any problems but it’s the fact that Sasquatch has 350k health. That is my limit. He quite literally has more health then some of the 6.1 bosses that took me multiple revives. I know that the ambushes are part of the quest and difficulty BUT you might as well just put a 50k Sasquatch on the map if there is a 100% chance at the ambush.

Cause the paths are easy... too easy in fact.

Actually you can't do the content, you can do part of the content. The ambush is part of the content and difficulty. You are lucky in the sense this quest allows you to back out and go back again and potentially avoid the fight. In other side quests where you don't have that option , you will struggle.

Multiple revives to do 6.1 bosses again suggests you aren't ready for this. You will be able to basically do the easy path but 100% completion will be a challenge for your current roster. Asking for it to be made easier for you to do is a case of self entitlement which comes from achieving a title which isn't a true reflection of where this difficulty lies or who it is aimed at. There was no intention for any difficulty to be tied in with Cavalier. This is basically because players have been asking for harder content and the only title they could possibly link it to was Cavalier. Had they had the goal to create a new difficulty with a title they would of more likely of made that title only accessible after beating 6.2.6 Boss.

This fight is doable with a 4* Star Lord, it took me 88 hits to take him down.

You can expect the main monthly EQ to have bosses with similar health and attack values but with nodes. So again that suggests you need to develop your roster.

Maybe he doesn't like it. I personally I don't, it's just becomes repetitive with no extra rewards.

Hieitaku

I got ambushed 10 times out of 12 paths. Not complaining at all. It's nice practice for Doom's full 350k+ sequence.

The fact that this event requires zero energy makes it feel more like a training ground than actual content.

Im not bothered about the fight, i just keep on getting Ambushed everytime it's a Solo... you just have to constantly Bait and intercept when he's in Wrath mode.

Im complaining because ambush 100% for no extra rewards. Why can't Kabam not set a limit of 4-5 random ambushes or just give us extra rewards like Platinumpool Ambushes would be cool.

And as you can see why i bought Gully2099 and Dr doom for AoN and poison paths

I know this doesn't help but you can just imagine there's an extra Sasquatch on every path that isn't an ambush. is that better?
also, a tip I've found for fighting him is to try to land an intercept or hit him and slow down your combo a lot so it drains time off the thing
