Technique to kill Howard the duck? Egg quest

I can't seem to do any daymage to Howard the duck in this special egg quest.
No idea what I'm doing wrong. Tried my best champs. Get wrecked everytime.
Any tips

bring Health % to zero with - pro tip - don’t get hit too much. That’s all for now.

Roggam

hit block to remove armor passives

Sentinel for x

Slig

get into a rhythm of hitting him until he’s at special 1, bait special, dodge and punish. And whenever you can, hit his block to remove armor stacks (that’s probably why you aren’t doing damage)

Aleor

Don't parry, hit in block to push him into the corner, bait sp1

Yeah this was the big oversight for me the 2nd time I went in to fulfill the objective. I had forgotten that part and it took me 8 minutes with my Nefaria to beat him.

This week I went in with a Venom, who's not even a good matchup (because Howard is bleed immune) but was my best option and I remembered hitting into block to remove armors and that match only took me 3 mintues.

I used Venom the Duck with his fancy new Relic - took me several tries. The actual fight technique was the main thing.

Hitting block to clear the passive armour was certainly a big one, as was managing the placement of Howard to keep him in the corner and minimise the degen - so avoiding blocking as much as possible

He seems to keep 5 armors no matter what. Even hitting into block doesn't remove. I guess those are permanent.

How many revives you guys use? Looks like I'll need 5

You can only remove the passive ones that the node grants by hitting into his block. His personal ones only with armour break. For the XL I got a solo with both VTD and Cull. Different fights but they both get it done easily.

If I recall correctly the last one is mystic, so I reckon Werewolf will be a fun option.
