How to beat Chomper

  • Dazed is Ethereal and Unplayable, so each Screech costs you three dead draws over the next passes through your deck.
  • Against the pair, the Chompers are out of step: one Screeches every turn. Kill the one that Screeched first, because the other is on the same clock one turn later and you will take a Clamp of 16 (18) that turn either way.
  • Two hits of 8 (9) reward per-hit Block and effects that trigger on each hit.
  • Artifact 2 eats your first two debuffs, so lead with the cheap ones.
  • Draw and discard tricks, or exhaust, clean up the Dazed. Thin decks feel them most.

Notes

  • 60 to 64 HP (63 to 67 on Ascension 8+).
  • An Automaton Pair is a normal Hive fight with two Chompers.
  • Tunneling Twosome pairs one Chomper with a Tunneler and is not listed in any act's pool.
  • The Screech intent shows 3 as its count, matching the three Dazed.
