[BST] Took me a whole week... Crucible Master achievement done!!

[RSS News]

It's done. I can go back to my friends now. They've been asking where I was the entire week, and now I'm free!!!! Leaving info here on what I did. All my clears were done with 3 mons of the same types to bump up the scores. Viable ones I've found to work personally are, Cu Sith + Behemoth + Any Beastkin, Geshunpest + Slime + Any Ashkin, and, Mantis + Wespe + Worm (vilekin). The beastkin combo is best for rushing down fights or borrowing beast kinship to mitigate or stack damage on top of gear damage bonuses. The Ashkin combo is best for survivability with the HP absorption and for learning fights. The vilekin combo is great for more consistent big damage rushing with Mantis trick + Wespe trick, and the worm's AOE trick is there to clean up mob piles. Beastkin combo cleared my 1st and 2nd board, both with First Degree. 3rd board was cleared with Ashkin combo on standard. Vilekin combo cleared 4th and 5th on standard as well. Crucible boards 1 to 3 is probably(?) easier to attain Legendary with hot degree. Couldn't do enough damage to survive and clear for 4th and 5th on hot degree. 4th's final boss stacks poison the longer the fight dragged on so the Vilekin bursts did a lot of work. 5th board was the most difficult, until I noticed hp gave points, so I tried to increase the hp cap as much as I could and keep it high with pots before finishing the run. Ending with 15,553 hp gave 2616 extra points despite being hit by damage down and vuln debuffs. Going right for the heroic equipment on the final split was essential for getting the biggest hp boost. I also abandoned my friends for a few days by changing data centers for the last 2 boards for better ping for this. submitted by /u/nutting_ham [link] [comments]
