Hey guys,

This thread is for any player who is looking for more information on how to deal with annoying boss units. Each video is about 4-5 minutes and explains almost everything you need to know about dealing with these enemies:

Preatorians
Scions
Phantoms
Atlas'
Banshees
Being Immune to Sync Kills

Special thanks to Jeremiah for editing and being willing to record and upload these videos.

Questions and future topics are welcome.

Well said Professor Stikman!

Nicely done!

Anyone who needs a tutorial on how to deal with boss enemies this late in the game's life cycle is probably a lost cause.

There is no way those vids will reach the intended audience.

[NYG1991]

Nice, will watch later

there's still new players showing up on this forum every day a**hat.

It's downright bizarre how some BSNers seem to think BSN is some kind of out-of-way obscure destination that only the fortunate few are lucky enough to stumble upon. It's like, c'mon, this is the friggin' OFFICIAL ME3 MP FORUM. If anyone new is looking for info, they're probably going to come here

Good work on the vids, Stikman

I'd stick around to see this trend repeat itself but the real world is calling.

I should go

Some characters can take advantage of the on host flippy flip phantom.

Ex-cerberus can lash her as soon as she flips.
Adepts can set up a bio explosion during flips.
Submission net during flip. Etc.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that most of the people who come here don't post. The game is still on shelves, there are still new players, and it's useful information. Good on Stikman for putting in the effort to help out the community.

Theres a few noobs lurking around here.  I didnt know that running at a praetorian was what made him stop flying so I learned something.

There are still small details that experienced players might not have known. For example, I was unaware/did not realize that charging the Praetorian would cause it to change it's behavior/attack pattern.

I'm very very bad at recognizing boss paterns, always have been, wayyyyy back from the NES days so things like this are helpful.

[Placentypus]

I'm relatively new, and this is the first i've heard of 90% damage reduction on mobile Phantoms.

I mean, i've always suspected it when I unload multiple clips of Hurricane into them while they dance around, but I chalked it up to my utter failure at aiming.

[bondiboy]

Any info that helps new players makes it easier for all of us.

i originally named the thread elite units/bosses, i can change it back, unless you really appreciate the title:D

[Caineghis2500]

It would have been better to fade in the clips together instead of seperating them. Other than that great video

I'l remember that for next time.  The titles should probably be replaced in the long run, too. They're more like "place-holders" for now.

What editing program are you using?

[Computron2000]

Eh no talk about flipping the praetorian by shooting the head while its flying? When the armor plate comes off, it staggers so you can actually just keep shooting at a praetorian getting into laser mode and beginning its laser, stagger it out of laser mode and kill it just after it recovers from its stagger. Works if you're a weapons class specced for weapon damage + using a good weapon (no GPSMG need apply).

Also flipping the praetorian jams up everything behind it if in a narrow area such as Rio's walkways
