Could Someone Give Me Advice on Optimal Gear & Tactics for Late-Game Bosses

Post by hitzxa »

Hello everyone :D :D

I hve been playing Andor's Trail for a while; and I m really enjoying it so far. The game's deep quests; exploration; and turn based battles have me completely hooked; I presently feel very strong; but the late game bosses are causing me a lot of grief, and I would appreciate some ideas on how to increase my odds.

I hve mostly focused on a balanced build, with points split evenly between attack and defense; I hve invested a little more in critical hit probability and damage. I assumed this would make me versatile enough for a variety of situations; but it appears that some of the monsters' defenses or attacks are simply too powerful for this strategy.

Weapon Balanced Iron Sword for Fighting I enjoy its adaptability, however I m wondering if anything more specialized could be useful versus bosses.
Armor High-Defense Plate Armor; which has worked well against general mobs but may be limiting my attack speed.

Accessories Ring of Damage and a general-purpose amulet that regenerates tiny amounts of health.

The bosses I m presently fighting with have large health pools and do a lot of damage per turn. My plan thus far has been to keep chipping away while relying on potions to get me through lengthier fights, but it's been hit-and-miss. I find myself running out of potions or simply being overwhelmed by the bosses' damage.

Do you have any recommendations for weapons or armor that are better suited for boss battles? I hve heard that some gear can inflict status ailments; are those worth seeking for bosses?

Is there a skill build or skill that you would prioritize in these types of battles?

When it comes to boss fights, how crucial is agility or attack speed? Should I consider gear that reduces my defense but increases my turn frequency?

Is there any lesser-known strategies or hidden spots where I can farm rare things to improve my efficiency versus bosses?

Also I explored some topics related to this https://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?pdevopscourseonline but I did not get the sufficient solution of my query so I would really want to get some help from a more experienced person

Any ideas; recommendations; & general insights will be highly welcomed.

Thank you so much, and good exploring.
