ACT 8.4 GLYKHAN BOSS GUIDE - Full Breakdown

[@simula67]

Hello and thanks for watching! I'll use this pinned comment for any additional tips and tricks, changes, or bug fixes that didn't make it into the guide. 1. TIPS - One thing you might consider doing is keeping your stacks of Stupor at 2. Blexterity is still very problematic in MCOC and accidentally triggering it when you're at max stacks means an unavoidable evade and counterattack. - With chip damage being so problematic, a sneaky good option for the fight would be Horseman Gambit, who can gain full uptime of 100% perfect block. The catch here is that his SP1 has a guaranteed stun so you have to be very careful with him. 2. BUG FIXES / REBALANCING - Nothing to report... yet!

got him down today with relatively ok revives (2-3 Team revives to get going and then about 10-15 single revives). 6*R5 ascended Toad did a good job.

bloody hell. after years of not playing. your videos caused an itch i had to scratch. a few days ago, logged in, finished 6.3.1- 6.4.6 in one setting. Now, using a roster from 8 years ago, no way i can finish act 7 and 8 anytime soon. still, i enjoyed the episode. thanks.

[@jaafarmhammad2719]

For reference, act 7 is easier than act 6 , andddd, act 8 is wayyy easier than act 6-7 combined, with even less paths

[@simula67]

Totally agreed, Act 7 is not that bad at all compared to Act 6.

[@at802]

Yeah bro I started back 4 months ago after 6 odd years off. My account was about 400k with zero 6*. Finished act 6, act 7 easier especially once you start getting a few 6*’s and act 8 a breeze. Got paragon, account now nearly 1.1 mil and have about 70 6*s. Getting TB is the turning point.

[@plopperpenguin9194]

Thanks a lot for this guide, a very detailed explanation of the abilities and helpful recommendations. You‘re really easy to listen to because you speak so calmly and serenely, sounds absurd but that makes a difference when it comes to absorbing all that information! He doesn’t seem easy but I got enough items ready so I can‘t wait to beat him tomorrow and become valiant :) I‘ll use Kingpin and my 7r2 Angela, her regen and armor should be a good mix of sustainability. Do you think Silk does decent? She‘s one of my most used champs, her physical vulnerability should allow some good damage right? Does her evade work in case I fail some dexes?

[@simula67]

Unsure about Silk. Her evade will work, but her passive furies won't increase her attack rating and you won't want to do her normal combo because the stuns will trigger punishments. You'll also have no burst damage on her specials.

8.3 will be fine, it’s pretty easy. 8.4 I’m soon to see, but going by what Kabam says it’s gonna be really hard (as evidenced by Glykhan)

I think you'll be able to manage it. So far I haven't seen anything that really requires a specific champ to finish. Make sure you have some good champs ranked up for Cerastes and Glykhan but the time you get there.

They actually done it I like this fight more than bahamut and the design is sick as F thank kabam for this one

[@primerprime596]

I honestly feel like Glykhan isn't as awful as people make him out to be. Once his abilities are understood it's actually quite fun to fight him. I think the reason people feel he's so difficult is because he's brand new, give it a few months and they'll find him significantly easier than his current reputation makes him out to be. He's certainly a better built Boss than Bahamet, at any rate. Solomon Grundy there made me want to rip out my hair.

[@simula67]

From what I'm seeing there's not much middle ground on him. Several folks like you are finding him not that bad at all, but a lot of others are really struggling. I do agree that he's really fun and once I was able to get the specials consistently dexed he became a lot easier.

[@alfonsosantos4011]

33 revives and still stuck in the 1% can't get that stupid timing on .. need help

[@simula67]

A couple things you might try here. If you're having trouble with the heavy, you can punish it after the first dex rather than try to nail the timing of both dexes. For his specials, you can always block a hit or two safely. Only direct hits will insta-KO you; you can safely block him.
