The EASIEST Boss in Star Rail - Stellaron Hunter Sam | Trailblazer Only #12

I thought Sam would be a deadly opponent. But even with just one character, one BUTTON, he's surprisingly easy!

Huh, interesting. I guess that they really didn’t think that people would be doing the Sam fight at low equilibrium, so it slipped their mind to check

[@fuckingtiredloll]

Arguably I believe they DID know about the low equilibrium idea 😭

A lot of weirdness in that fight. I killed him while he was frozen and the game softlocked because Sam is supposed to end the fight by attacking when reduced to 1% hp, but he couldn’t unfreeze himself.

[@tiredasexual_8334]

​@@atriyakoller136Had the same issue, drop jingyuan if he's not that invested in. It's not that he's bad, it's just that because of the trotters, he can't focus on Sam. Use Ratio on first half, then DHIL on second. ratio can easily clear the first half in 3 cycles (mine is mid investment), and DHIL can work with 7 cycles. Good luck!

@@wetnoodlex She's fine in the Sam fight if you have silver wolf. The other 3 enemies have ice weakness, and Sam has quantum. The boss fight in the story I also had jingliu, but no SW in my party. Wasn't hard, but was mildly annoying cause I couldn't break him. I was actually slowly losing hp and had to heal near every turn with lynx... which I did not have to in the MOC fight (I just broke him and healed afterwards) but it wasn't bad enough for me to need to stop skilling every turn with jingliu.

[@goblinslayer310]

the same thing happened to me. I started the fight as I would any fight at the time. 3 DPS' and my Blazer-sama. The 3DPS' we built for full attack/crit without anything to protect them except the shields from Blazy so they went down rather quickly before I realised that the skills are actually what hurt them the most. Then Blazy just stoody there, blocking endlessly with some attacks sprinkled in and... my dude Sam just killed himself.

[@Copesstar]

ur trailblazer is so good amaze

[@trueNordVPN]

This works at Equilibrium 6 as well. My Trailblazer-Fire has 3357 HP and 5385 DEF, which was enough to solo Sam without getting hurt. The A4 Major trace offset the HP loss on Skills. I did almost no damage, letting Sam kill herself with her own HP consumption Trailblazer: Enhanced Basic Sam: Attack, Supernova Overload Trailblazer: Ultimate Sam: Attack, Supernova Overload Trailblazer: Skill Sam: Attack x2, Supernova Overlord x2 Repeat until Sam dies

[@eratheoracle]

Sam just... doesn't do much damage. I was running MOC12 with a team of Fu Xuan, SW, Sparkle and Qingque against him. SW got knocked pretty low from the miniboss on Sam's wave and using a few skills. She was at somewhere between 100 and 300 health. Sam *relentlessly* attacked her over and over and over again. Fu Xuan's damage mitigation and very small healing from her ults was enough to prevent her from dying, despite taking every attack from Sam over a cycle or two. My Silver Wolf is E2. She's uses her freedom of stat investment from not needing EHR for *damage*, not defences. A single strong attack from almost any enemy in MOC12 would kill her, even through Fu Xuan damage mitigation, at that hp range. She just stood there and took it from Sam. Sam isn't a damage dealer, he's a HP sponge.

"Proof-readers" Technically it's a valid sentence, here, lemmie just add some punctuation; "Consume Skill Points to attack, or Weakness Break, Sam out of the Secondary Combustion state" Just a really weirdly worded one without punctuation. Actually, there is probably a better way to phrase this "Inflict Weakness Break, or consume Skill points to Attack, Sam out of the Secondary Combustion state" I suppose the "attack Sam out of the Secondary Combustion state" is the more easily accepted phrasing of this sentence.
