[Curly Jo]

best tactic I've found so far is shield + haste + spamming lightning bolt, kills pretty much every enemy in one. Occasionally throw down some freezing landmines just to slow them down and clear the area a bit

[Ivefan]

-snip-

best tactic for what?
simply lightning without wet enemies are rather poor mostly due to range but the damage is also rather low i comparison to other things.
Multiple weak enemies in one direction - qfasas (steam lightning ray)
Multiple weak enemies spread out but near - qrqrqrqrs (arcane ice shotgun)
Any 'pushable' foe near ledge - q*5 (do this to the ones before grimnir)
Any large foe - qfasas at range.
right. qfasas made things a bit duller so throw in some other things just for fun

[SalmonGod]

I tried arcane ice shotgun, but I think lightning does a bit more damage + minor electrical stun/interrupt on some enemies

You can't use Death on bosses. He just kills you instead even if you lowered their hp a lot. Keep that in mind...

Also, I finally figured out how to kill Fafnir in singleplayer mode. They even buffed him too in the recent patch @.@ Basically, I enchanted my sword with shield + 4xlightning, and cast the line of lightning at his stomach. Then hid in a corner. Repeated about two times and he was defeated. So much freaking easier than trying to time his fireballs and superlaserbeam.

Then of course, I see the ultimate final boss.... I really don't think singleplayer is intended to be able to defeat him...

I have to say that summon elemental in challenge mode is gamebreakingly OP. There doesn't seem to be any limit and just making arcane elemental hordes is unstoppable. They take a lot of pressure of you, do decent damage,block mob enemies and the best part, they heal with any type of arcane damage (AKA ALL BEAMS) and therefore, never die.

I like to stand nearby and spam arcane aoe blasts

[Rakonas]

I can get Nyarl Assatur down to half health singleplayer, but that enveloping lightning attack always takes me out, and the bastard heals himself quickly.
EDIT: Hell yes, just beat him. My tactics were

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Time Warp constantly, Lightning Bolt Spam, and quickly use Rock-Shield whenever he does the attack with the blue lightning. Also, move out of the center to avoid the vortex at the start of the battle.

[Farseer]

Maybe it's just the cheese tactics I use, but I didn't really have any trouble with any boss other than Death.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When I fought Fafnir, I hid in the crook of his neck, made sure to keep fire and arcane resistance up and just kept ice attacking his neck. Killed him easily.

When I fought Assatur, I just used the hilariously overpowered steam beam QF-A-S-S-S (found out this is the best one) and he died pretty easily.

Death is super easy.

Health Mines, Health Mines everywhere (Heal+Shield in an area of effect attack)

[Sensei]

It's fun but it seems to leak memory and get choppy after a while, also my screen flashes purple and the UI gets messed up.

[Moghjubar]

Wrong. I oneshotted Fafnir with death, and used him several times in a row (while flubbing the story spell) on the near-last boss.

Learn to teleport.

[Neonivek]

A lot of bosses seem to have a built in cheese tactic.

The first boss for example can be quite tough, and by tough I mean long, but can be easily defeated with shields.

[nenjin]

Speaking of an apparent cheese tactic....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I'm fighting Vlad, and he has a pretty nasty attack. As a mistake, I cast an area bubble around myself with him outside. I stop paying attention to him for a sec to heal....and suddenly he says "you've beaten me."

Is that fight intended to only last 20 seconds....or did he like jump into my bubble and fling himself out of the level? Because his health bar didn't move.

As a side note, I'm really enjoying the whole second half. I was kind of left thinking "man, there's so much they didn't cover."

And then I hit the pure awesome that is Chapter 9.
