Since The First Descendant was officially released, we got two new Colossi. The players engage these huge monsters in a special arena, and each Colossus has its own mechanic (usually), requiring different approaches. They are practically the bosses of TFD. Unfortunately, the Colossi have a bad reputation for having some unfair and annoying mechanics (usually insta-kill ones). On the other hand, they usually serve as bullet sponges, there to simply be shot at, without more complex engagement, leading to the rise of builds that only serve to one-shot them. In the last update before Season 1, we got Gluttony, which proved to be very unpopular, due to its confusing party-wipe mechanics. However, in Season 1 (second update), we got Death Stalker, and after a while, the players really started appreciating the engaging mechanics of this boss, offering words of praise and claiming that it should set a new standard for future bosses in The First Descendant.
Players Adamant That More Colossi in The First Descendant Should Be Like Death Stalker
TFD has a couple of Colossi that really have unengaging gameplay and deadly yet random mechanics. The worst part is that they are among the top-tier ones, meaning that you must defeat them in order to progress the main plot and get to the next boss. Currently, Death Stalker is the last boss, meaning that you have to defeat the likes of Molten Fortress and Gluttony before you can fight it. But, if you do, you’re in for a treat.
One player, named Front_Confection_487 on Reddit, started a thread praising the Death Stalker, saying that it is one of the best-designed bosses in the game. “…challenging, forces you to focus at all times for dps and evading attacks, alongside acting as a gear/dps/knowledge check without being annoying, “ and they are from being the only one.
Others chime in, adding that it is a rare boss that any Descendant can realistically beat, ie, you don’t have to rely on some gimmick in order to win. Furthermore, some players say that Death Stalker changed a couple of their viewpoints. “1- I never thought about building any descendants with a shield. 2- I didn’t have any purpose for ult Ajax. This boss made me build Ajax with shield and invest in him , I even made a max HP build with him, too.“ said theoutsider95 and “…And it made us switch out building tactics around to building into shields which I appreciate allot. Just a great designed fight,” added xBlack_Heartx.
All in all, The First Descendant players have nothing but praise of the Death Stalker. We hope this will inspire Nexon to make more content like this.
