How to beat Gas Bomb

  • You always get exactly one turn to deal with each bomb.
  • It has 7 HP (8 at Ascension 8+), so a single cheap attack defuses it; otherwise block 8 more than you otherwise would.
  • Living Fog bloats every other turn, so bombs arrive one at a time, up to five slots.
  • Because they are Minions, the cleanest answer is to kill Living Fog, which removes every unexploded bomb at once. Never spend a whole turn on a bomb if the same damage would finish the Fog.

Notes

  • Only found in the Living Fog fight in the Underdocks act; never present at the start.
  • The explosion is a real attack, so Weak on the bomb reduces it and your Block absorbs it.
  • A bomb killed before exploding uses a different death animation from one that blew up.
