Amius the Lunar Archon – Cursed City Boss Preview!

Plarium has just released the full skill breakdown of the Final Boss we will be facing in the Cursed City, expected to be released VERY soon.

Let’s check out both of the skill kits for the first-ever, Mythical Boss with two different forms!

Are you up for the challenge?

Hey folks! I have some pretty awesome news for you,

You’ve probably seen this pretty fella in the Short video we released the other day. A brand-new badass Boss you’ll have to deal with when raiding the Cursed City!

Behold ’cause here comes the Amius the Lunar Archon…

The first Boss to have two Forms, just like Mythical Champions! Each Form will require its own strategy. So prepare yourself before messing with this baddy Amius’ transformation is tied to a new unique buff that he places on himself.

In the Base Form, he doesn’t let you debuff himself and buffs himself instead, heals a lot, so it has more of a supportive purpose.

While in the Alternate Form, Amius becomes a killing machine – messing with your buffs, replacing them with debuffs, and hitting hard.
