I was enjoying Polymock until Gadd's encampment - been stuck there for a while. Got close to beating Blarp once, mainly get smashed though. I strafe & block, but still haven't worked out the best order of pieces to use. Are any of the gold pieces going to make it any easier? I would pay 100k just to progress atm. Any advice would be great thanks, Ample Handfull.

they have more HP, most importantly.

something i have found:
use block right before you cast your large spell. they usually waste the interrupt on it

Jecht Scye · Sep 11, 2007, 08:51 AM // 08:51

Use these pieces in order:
-Fire Imp
-Gargoyle
-Kappa

Right at the beginning use block followed by your large spell, then concentration followed by your second large spell. Try to interrupt their larger spells ei: Obsidian Flame, Deep Freeze, Fireball. After you get past half of your life, use the glyph that add's 200 damage to your next attack(farthest to the right.). Aside from that, just mash on the 1 energy spell, use block as often as possible, and replenish your energy when it reaches 0 with Ether Signet.

Blarp is easily the hardest Polymock guy in the game, once you get past him you'll have no problems at all.

I beat him with no problem.
I cheated cause I got a gold Naga Shaman.
Rit spike him to death.

Thanks for the tips, I'm stuck at Blarp for some time now.

Aside higher health, gold pieces also have more energy, just like purple ones.

All his pieces are purple which means that over your white pieces he has 3k health (hp of one whole white piece) and 15 energy advantage.

If you got one gold piece, he would still have 1k heath and 5e advantage, which would make him a lot easier.

Thou, what about actually getting better?

Polymock can be hard ... with 500ms ping.

All of the Polymock opponents follow a certain casting rhythm and you can easilly interrupt them through prediction. Because you gain back the energy you spend on the interrupt, it's never a waste. The dangerous spells are all 1 or 2s cast so save your block for those (treat it like an interrupt). When you want to cast a 1s bomb like your Fire Imp's meteor, time it like an interrupt on the enemy's glyph so that he won't have enough time to interrupt yours.

The more you spam skills, the more you'll lose. Be patient and outplay the AI.

Abbel Calima · Sep 11, 2007, 01:16 PM // 13:16

Polymock is rather easy, they all have the same AI.

So as some people said before, use your biggest spell first (ussually hotkey 2 or 3). Use block to defend their spell and spam your spammable skill (hotkey 1) untill they use power drain (and they will have used block as well)if they're casting their big spell, interrupt with power drain). Now you can use your 2nd big spell (hotkey 2 or 3). Then again, spam your nummber one skill and look whenever they cast block and power drain, then do your big spells again so they wont be interrupted. Spam your number one skill and look whenever they cast block and power drain, big spells again, etc etc.

Small notes:
Use block whenever its recharged
Use spammable skill whenever its recharged
Use power drain to interrupt their big spell
Use your big spells only if they've used block + power drain
Use your power buff under 50% health
Use your energy skill when reaching 0 energy.
(concentration skill is a waste of time and energy)

I hope it was understandable and easy to read, so i wish you good luck mate!

Get a gold piece.
That's all the strategy you need.

Or he could just do Sepulchre a few times until he gets a Gold Gaki.

Zodiak · Sep 11, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

I always open with the Glyph of Concentration and Degen skills the polymock piece i may hace chosen has.

Degen skills are worthless I find in the middle or end of a fight. always open with them

Or actually play smart on polymock, the mind > strength.

Also

Definatly SELL any additional Polymock pieces you may find from chests. Polymock is DEFINATLY NOT worth replaying once you've beaten all the oponents, which you can do incredibly easily if you either play normally and

- Open with Glyph of Concentration and Degen if its on your character
- Always keep your Block spell up
- Spam number 1
- Use Glyph of Concentration before using big spells
- Use 2 and 3 as they come up
- Get energy as soon as it hits 0
- Dont borther using your interupt or Number 8

If you cant beat someone, check wiki, it will tell you what pieces to chose and follow the steps mentioned.

Adding more polymock pieces is a WASTE as you need to register, which you lose them after for 50 very slow points.

Number 8 is the power buff when under 50% hp right? I would say, USE IT!
It does decent extra damage, so why dont utilize it? (if you we're referring to an other skill, please do ignore my post

)

The key stratagy in playing polymock is having a computer with more than a gig of ram.

... its all about speed the strat is not important.

i tried with a laptop and got killed every time --i was only able to kill hoff and the rest with one of my desktop computers.

LONGA · Sep 11, 2007, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I think all those basic and uncommon polymocks from ques are covered to beat all of those polymock opponent.

Like Ice imp good at killing weakened enemy,Ice golem for a long fight,Skale for bringing any high HP polymocks down.

And all of those opponent's polymock doesn't change order at all

I have beaten it with 128+265 ram, no problems here. So i'd say strategy IS important.

Selket · Sep 11, 2007, 02:27 PM // 14:27

Always cast glyph of concentration and queue up another skill at the very beginning.

That makes them always waste their powerdrain and their own glyph of concentration.

puffzilla · Sep 11, 2007, 02:39 PM // 14:39

A suggestion to make it easier for your next char would be to save the gold piece you get after betting the master or at the very least the purple Aloe for you next char you bring through.

Once you've finished the master quest you get a gold one. You techincally need a gold one if you want to continue on challenging people but the max points for the 3 rounds is 50 and well I wouldn't say it worth it.
