Just finished the gwenmaster fight - here are my initial thoughts

Will3808

I love this fight. If I’m being honest, most of 7.1 and 7.2 were kind of boring to me. It’s probably because I did them soon after completing act 6 and it felt like I used less effort and like it I didn’t have to do as much planning. But let me say this gwenmaster fight, that was fun. I really enjoyed pretty much all of the different challenges and I really like how this fight is set up. The reason I say pretty much is I needed one full cycle and then one more of the Emma frost phase to kill her, and the last Emma phase was such a pain for some reason. I used 4 revives on the rest and the last Emma phase took me 6. Not sure what changed but I got her down eventually and still enjoyed it which is the important part. I’m looking forward to exploring this (whenever I get to that) which is something I can’t say I felt about the last few big bosses (ie the collector, 6.2 champion, and the grandmaster).

The last thing I wanted to mention is I’ve seen a bunch of people on the forums saying the aarkus phase was the hardest for them and I have a suggestion. I used venom for that phase and it was so easy. Venom’s sp1 nullifies the “coldsnap buff” the gwenmaster gets from her sp1 that does damage to you and it makes enough space that the armor breaks load during it. This made this phase the fastest and easiest of them all. Thanks for reading this everyone and have a great rest of your day!

Congrats ! I was a bit nervous about the whole gwenmaster fight but once i got past the initial mind-block of reverse controls the fight was interesting. my "worst" section was the KM phase, but again overall not too bad at all.

luckily I only had to go through each phase once.

I took the path that didn’t have a linked node to the gwenmaster. It has energy adoption fire and a skill shrug off node where when you dashed back you purify a debuff. I took ghost, wasp, fury, bwcv, and venom.

We had the same rewards. I also got Sinister but I already had so he got duped.

It might have been a tougher node on gwenmaster the second time.

@booscka2536 Which node did you activate the second time you did the fight? If it was the one that decreased the timer for when she activates her sp2 and it hurts you then that’s why it took longer. The damage dealt to the gwenmaster by her sp2 is increased by the amount of time left on that timer so if there was very little left then it would do less damage.
