6.3.1 Medusa Boss Is Broken

KingMelvin16

There is a Bleed Vulnerability node on the boss that gives the attacker 200% attack rating when a bleed debuff is applied but there is also a Do You Bleed? node that makes the defender take 100% less damage from normal and special attacks except for blocked attacks and bleeding effects. So why is it that when I use a champion that cause bleed debuffs like Ultron that when I hit Medusa with a normal attack or special attack when there is at least one bleed debuff on her that it doesn’t do any damage. 200% - 100% = 100%. This is extremely irritating since I’ve been stuck on this boss for a while now and I have used many resources to try and beat the boss but I still can’t because of these broken nodes. Here are photos for proof:

I believe this node combo just increases the potency of bleed effects and turns any other damage source to 0, except for blocked attacks. So Ultron's basic and special attacks will do 0 damage, but his bleed debuffs are more potent. I would highly recommend just using Magneto, building as much Prowess as you can, then throwing an sp3. Should do the trick.

The only problem with that is the buffet node which nullifies a buff ever 7 seconds and regenerates 5% of Medusas health and since there isn’t a #metal attribute, it’s basically impossible to get higher than 5 prowess buffs which is only converted into 5 bleeds that don’t do much damage and her auto block is extremely annoying too.

You should be able to just parry-heavy through the fight. She won't auto block if you just heavy, and Buffet only removes one Prowess at a time. The bleeds should easily out damage her healing.

I took my r1 symbiote supreme against her.

Sym, fury, black OG BP, domino, I’ve seen AA do it, hit monkey. All very viable options. Some require a little more skill than others.

Based off your description the node is working perfectly it’s just your understanding of the node.

Do you bleed allows only bleed to do damage, the 200% node will increase the damage from bleed after the first bleed is applied (why fury is a really good option and sym). It doesn’t work the way you said 200-100=100. The first time I did it, I did it with a 5 star rank 2 sym. Now with 6 stars it should be super easy

Sym supreme is the answer
Solos her super easy

The fight isn't broken. The bleed vulnerability is there to amplify the damage of any other bleed debuffs after you inflict the first one. I soloed the fight with Hawkeye on every single one of my exploration runs. Just make sure you bring someone with potent bleeds, or that inflicts a lot of them

AA makes her a joke. You don't even have to throw specials
