Nice, not only you did it with a class that has no damage skills, you did it while you have to make you pawns avoid her front for the riddle, and still looking fabulous, nice outfit bro lmao!!!

Lol, she seems to say that if you “hit” her no-no sections. But since there’s no damage, it doesn’t send her off. But ya, I got pissed when she said that, so death by censer seemed like a demeaning enough end!

So the pawns know not to attack the Sphinx's face/chest? Or is that enemy knowledge gained from prior Sphinx kills?

I think it’s due to me having a Kindhearted pawn and where I placed my simulacrum. I positioned it at the corner, while I stood on the opposite end. Kindhearted Pawns on “To Me!” will attack in proximity to my position. So, by forcing the Sphinx to face the corner, I can stand towards her backside, direct the pawn to me, and the pawn will attack her backside. I’ve had some previous attempts where the pawn was attacking the head (and causing her to flee), until I realized how pawn inclination and behavior works. The other key to this is in the Dragon’s Delusion. Staggering her is important to buying time before she uses her dive attack or teleport (which messes up the positioning i set up for the pawn). Edit: It’s not from prior Sphinx kills as I reset my progress multiple times testing out different strategies and trying to speed kill it. Since I didn’t sleep at an Inn after each kill, the pawn never updated to learn the strategy.

It can be surprisingly active! I think a big mistake is that everyone assumes that the Trickster (outside of meme cliff/drowning kills) is to buff your pawns and run around tanking damage (illusion). That is only one aspect of the Trickster. The other aspects is attack misdirection, AI “pathing”, temporary AI shutdown. There are some new Delusory Screen and Espial Incense/Dragon’s Delusion stuff I need to test out. I heard a certain rumor and I’d like to have something definitive.

Nice job with this one. On my first playthrough, I cheesed her with the Unmaker Arrow she gives you as a reward since I failed the DPS check. Hopefully on my new game with a Warfarer Fighter/Magik Archer combo I should destroy her. But man, those are some good Trickster plays. I have no idea how Trickster actually works due to it being more a memey type vocation that makes you rely heavily on pawns (which can be really cool like in this battle or just watching them stand around and eat shit lmao) but mayhaps it is worth trying.

I’ve seen a video where someone one-shots the Sphinx with Magick Archer’s Martyr’s Bolt. But ya, Trickster is pretty crazy. The berserk ability Aromatic Resurgence is how you override their standing around and turn them into murder hobos. It’s not for everyone, but that’s ok!

@@toodleselnoodos6738It certainly looks that way. I guess its just one of those super potent support classes that requires a good team to truly get the most out of. Highest highs and lowest lows etc. Also real quick the Augments you get for Trickster are.... strange, to say the least.

@@ArrangedKarma Could say that, but again fits with someone who plays Trickster. Lots of out-of-combat (or stay out of combat) utility. Detection is one everyone wants. Enlightenment actually works out for Trickster to dump a Mage pawn and go for 3 DPS pawns, just grab some with Chirurgeon and give them time to heal each other after Aromatic wears off. Obfuscation works with Binding Effigy snipes or minimizing dealing with enemies. Fugacity is something you place on before an ox-cart and take off when you reach your destination. Detection helps you get a second Eternal Bond ring, which equip both and use the Allure augment to affinity a bunch of NPCs to leave gifts on your door. Trickster is funny because there’s a lot of different game systems you would never interact with, but you do when you can’t deal direct damage.

Yes and no! The Trickster has no damage abilities, instead supports their party by tanking with their illusion, directing enemies, giving a huge berserk buff, and staggering/interrupting enemies with their dragon illusion. But I ensured my pawn could safely attack the back the whole time (attacking the front can trigger the fight ending). But if you noticed, I got the killing blow grazing the Sphinx’s tail.
