Changes: Giant Head

Revision as of 21:14, 27 July 2020

Giant Head is an Act 3 elite encounter. Its high amount of HP and steadily scaling attacks make it a formidable foe for many decks. However, because of the Slow debuff it begins combat with, high-damage decks with the ability to play a decent number of cards each turn will have no problem taking it down.

Slow: Whenever you play a card, Giant Head takes 10% more damage from attacks for the rest of this turn. (Stacks additively; playing 3 cards will cause the next attack to do 30% more damage)

Pattern

50% chance of using Count and 50% chance of using Glare on the first 4 turns. Cannot use Count or Glare three times in a row. From turn 5 onward, always uses It Is Time.

In Ascension 18+, always uses It Is Time from turn 4 onward.

Name	Effect	Asc 3+
Count	Deals 13 damage.	Deals 13 damage.
Glare	Applies 1 Weak.	Applies 1 Weak.
It Is Time	Deals 30 + T* damage.	Deals 40 + T* damage.

*T starts at 0 and increases by 5 every time the attack is used, up to 30 additional damage.

Whenever the Giant Head uses one of its first two abilities, it will count down from 5 to 1, reducing the count by 1 each time. (Will say "5", then "4", then "3", then "2", and finally "1."). When the countdown is finished the Head will start using It Is Time.

Tips

Play all of your non-attack cards first, if possible; the Slow debuff will cause attacks to do more damage if played after several other cards.
High attack damage cards, such as Perfected Strike, do very well against this elite because the Slow bonus causes them to do even more damage.
