How to beat Crossbow Raider

  • Fire! is the biggest single hit in the raider pack, but it comes with a full turn of warning and only 3 Block in the way.
  • With 18 to 21 HP the Crossbow Raider dies to two attacks, so the clean play is to kill it during the Reload turn before it ever shoots.
  • If the Assassin Raider is also present, weigh the two: the Assassin hits for 10 (11) every turn, the Crossbow for 14 (16) every other turn, so over two turns the Assassin does more.
  • Block 14 (16) on Fire! turns and nothing on Reload turns.

Notes

  • 18 to 21 HP (19 to 22 on Ascension 8+), no starting powers.
  • Only in the Ruby Raiders fight of Overgrowth, which draws three different raiders from Axe, Assassin, Brute, Crossbow and Tracker.
  • The 3 Block is fixed at every ascension.
