Hey furude, you might want to consider the context in which that player nuked. The very same boss in your screenshot got down to 17mins, I finished it off to make sure it didn't time out. I'm not sure when that player did 600k but he might've felt the raid boss had been up long enough and wanted to kill it to play it safe.

I always consider that. In this case as an example, only 2 and you attack before this nuking guy came. And there is still a lot of time left (1hr+) when it happens. Also there's only 3 of us excluding the nuking guy who attacked it so far. He did it before with 1 hit ko style so 1 or 2 more deed from him and I'm removing.

Don't worry, I also won't randomly throw ppl out of the first crazily without looking at the why. Usually those who nuke wrongly are quite obvious.

I'm just saying the things earlier because I want to point out that not all forumers are aware of the strategy behind raid bosses. And that is annoying to me.

I am sorry for nuking that boss. I really did not know that we have to keep the boss for other people (yeah the boss spawning every 10-15 minutes). Next time i ll use weaker team. Really sorry man i am "that guy"

Just to be safe, try to remember the names on your friendslist, and only use weak lvl 1 attacks against bosses spawned by those people. Well, except maybe when their boss is about to expire.
If they wanted the boss to get killed as fast as possible to make place for another, they should've released it to nuka town instead of allies only.

The special 100 million HP event bosses rarely happen. In case they do have one sometime, I'm sure it'll be all over these forums to keep an eye out for those.

Yup, usually the rule of thumb is hitting with a single unit (a lvl 1 against a seed bearer) to any boss. Unless it's 45-15min to expire, in which case, it might be better to nuke. While it's true some players finish their oown bosses, there are also people that fire and forget, thus they expect some ally to kill it, so nuking when the timer is low is not frwoned upon.

Btw, since i play at night, i'm one of those "fire and forgeters", i usually try to nuke my own boss to 50-30% so it can be killed by someone whn the timer is low as i'm not gonna get up at 4 am to finish it =.=

PS: How do you get so many seed bearers? I haven't found any for months ;_;

I'll be posting my friendly reminder as well, as far as my raid bosses are concerned...

The following are the only ones that matter to me: Seed Bearer, Scolls, Level 70+ event bosses (except during RB events), and occasionally, whatever boss I could share in the midst of a dry spell (e.g. E14 Phase 1). I will share any of them to allies right away even if I haven't tagged them myself (especially if I ran out of points) as I expect them NOT to be killed right away. Moreover, I'm only able to summon a Level 70-80 RB once or twice at most in a day (usually at game reset), and I typically will not waste another 80 stamina to find another one as I'd be better off doing something else, e.g. running dailies. If my RB has 30 minutes left on the timer, then definitely nuke if you want. I generally finish my boss quest early though, so I can build up a few points to rescue kill that boss if I have to.

Of course, I will tap a friend's raid boss with a single 2*, regardless of its level or if it's shared to allies or public, while keeping the 30-minute rule in mind.

Are they the ones that need to be killed within 15 minutes? (or so I read...)

Yes. I think they've been in an event only once so far though, and quite a while ago too. I think it was around the Star Lily event, but I might be 1-2 events off. At the time, very few people had maxed even their helper squad, so they were pretty difficult to kill. Nowadays, they should be easier to handle, provided most attackers go all-out against them with full (3 raid-point) attacks.

Maintenance is coming up everyone. Wrap up those Raid Bosses while you can, because we just hit the half hour mark.

Taking out Ivan's and Luxrain's in slow motion. Here's hoping the next event spawns Lv90s; Helper squad got too stronk for me to use Lv80 Bosses for squad testing

So I once again find my level 79 boss dying faster than I would like.



This kind of damage on a boss that still had 78 minutes.. I don't quite like it. Opinions?

I wouldn't like it either. I either use a 2* poke or a team of 3 6*s (only if boss is >80% HP or more at 1.5 hours or >50% with less than 1 hour; this team is not strong enough to take out even half the HP of a Level 65+ boss, but does do about 15-20%), only doing full nukes if the timer is in danger of expiring (if we're coming up on patch time, this counts as almost expired)
