==== Strategy without Man-at-Arms ==== If you do not have a Man at Arms for this fight, fret not. One perfectly viable team that works quite well is: Vestal, Hellion, Crusader, Leper. '''Vestal''': Dual healing trinkets to help sustain the group. Good group healing. '''Hellion and Crusader''' can switch places via ''Breakthrough'' and ''Holy Lance'' in the event the bomb lands on either position where one might be too low on health to take the hit. Crusader is great for handling stress prior to the boss fight itself. You do indeed want some form of stress heal as you don't want to be at high stress for the boss fight. '''Hellion:''' Adrenaline Rush on your Hellion makes it so your Hellion can recover from Death's Door by herself while clearing any Bleed/Blight. Similarly, Crusader with Battle-Heal and/or Inspiring Cry can achieve the same thing. '''Leper''': Extremely handy for handling pre boss fight stress. Also has a potent self-heal which takes some load off your Vestal. Leper also does great damage to the boss, usually as result of hitting ranks 1,2 that the boss will usually be guarding. '''Conclusion:''' Having a group where each hero has their own self-heal is great at denying Death's Door, and is particularly useful for this specific boss. Overall the group has extremely solid stress-heal capability in addition to healing. Limiting stress prior to the fight is quite literally half the battle. I strongly recommend giving ACC, PROT and Max HP trinkets to all but your Vestal. It should mean that everyone bar the Vestal can take at least two bomb blasts before reaching DD. It should also mean your Leper and Crusader can actually take a bomb critical hit without reaching DD, provided they are near max HP and have fully upgraded armour. I did this fight for the first time today with this group and nobody even reached 50 stress. I was then free to loot and pillage the entire map. Despite dealing with multiple stress-heavy fights thereafter, nobody had reached 100 stress.
