This is a guide on how to win at lock battles on any boss in Celtic Heroes.
- Get Dragonlord armor if you want to lock Dragonlord bosses. Extra divine damage helps. Occult is good too because of the skill bonuses.
- You need to be within 20 levels of the boss you are locking
- Example: Snorri is level 185, so do not level your character beyond level 205
- See my target lock guide for more details
- Be a Rogue
- Rogues are best for lock battles, because of multiple instant cast damage skills. You should get gear that gives bonuses to these skills:
- Shadowstrike
- Shadowstrike Hrungnir helm
- Occult Breaches (+500 Shadowstrike)
- Shadowstrike Rings (Royal and Grand)
- Quick Strike
- Occult Footguards (+500 Quick Strike)
- Sneaky Attack
- Occult Handwraps (+700 Sneaky)
- Occult Jerkin (+550 Sneaky)
- Other good gear includes
- Hrungnir braces that give a bonus to Cunning
- Rings, Ammys, and other gear that increase Dexterity
- Wyldshrine Amulet of the Sun - skill that does 4000 piercing damage
- Do about 2:1 Dexterity/Strength
- Max out Cunning ability
- Mages are also good for lock battles now that Firebolt is instant cast. However, Rogues are much more effective.
So now you have a full group of Rogues that are appropriate level and have all the right gear. You can still lose the lock if you aren't paying attention!
- Learn how to time bosses
- The spawn windows of armor bosses are 5 minutes. So if you know when they are going to open you can do this:
- Repeatedly tap the spawn location over and over again
- While you are doing this, also tap your Shadowstrike button
- When the boss spawns you will Shadowstrike to him
- Tap Quickstrike
- Tap Sneaky
- Tap your Wyldshrine Sun Ammy skill
- If everyone in our group does this, you will almost certainly lock whatever boss you are camping.
This build is not suitable for long term fights for 6* bosses. Locking groups full of rogues still have their place, but you will need a tank/druid and other classes to fight the boss.
