Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

    Use juggs just don't dex and try to push kindred to sp2 and punish him after the sp2 it will pause the timer
    During that degen outbreak do heavy it will cause it to end faster.

    Tried with Moondragon 7stars too and defeated him on Lvl3 to get Dust lvl 1.

    Now I will go to Lvl5 to get Dust lvl 2

    Some says Dragon Man and Ebony Maw are great counters

    If you choose a different difficulty level than you have already done you’re not gonna get any of the rewards for the exploration of the vaults. You have fully explore every vault in ONE Threat level, cannot change it, otherwise you miss out on rewards.

    Hambone was pretty easy. Use MLLLL to keep it simple with reversed controls. When you have an evade charge, hold block and use it to avoid Kindred’s sp1. Because you’re rooted anyway, you can still dash in to punish. Save a special for the last phase…

    What’s the strategy for last 5%? Will be rooted and Kindred cannot be knocked out for 5 sec which seems like an eternity!

    Used Nimrod and was all good until last 5%. Anyway to bypass Kindred last phase?

    Far from my best attempt out of the 4 but all 4 were solo's, I know not a lot of people will have her but she crushes it, you can just stand Infront of him blocking his sp1 and pause the degen timer by punishing the sp1

    @Kabam Miike, Jax, there’s been a bunch of these posts and no official response yet. I get you probably can’t change anything now, but would like to understand the mindset. I know some people are getting solos but this feels much closer to a Winter of Woe fight than anything that’s been in the side quests recently.

    I think it's a good chance to practice playing inverted, but you're right, he's so bad and is killing me every time haha

    Make sure you hold a special for when you get rooted there.

    @MrSakuragi thanks, I finally got it after multiple times. This Kindred fight is pretty challenging but the positive is that I now understood how Kindred works. Stay away when nightmare mode is activated, and have a relic or special ready in the last 5%. It’s about timing and being patient. Not perfect everytime but a much improved player.

    Seems like the most logical approach is to skip the fight and side quest entirely since the defender is bs and the rewards are turrible
