Geomancer Nether Spider Speed Team

If you are looking for a speed farming method to destroy the Nether Spider, this Geomancer team will be the most effective way to get you on your way. This strategy revolves around Geomancer’s stone guard passive which deflects 30% of incoming damage, and a 30% chance of dealing additional damage equal to 3% of the target’s MAX HP (Whilst under his burns).

The amazing part of this strategy is the wide range of champions you can utilise. In the opening phase, Agreth & her spiderlings will place multiple poisons on your team, therefore bringing in a cleanser [Preferably those who can revive] will be optimal to counter this.

The Tide of Toxins [A3] will not only deal damage from poisons instantly but will place Poison Sensitivity Debuffs on those who attack her, therefore you will want to mitigate this damage to keep Geomancer alive for deflections.

You will also require a champion who can place Heal Reduction Debuffs, as you will be triggering the Spiderlings counterattacks, therefore reflecting more damage back to the boss without her healing. Finally, you will require champions that can heal / wave clear to coincide with the rest.

Below you will find some highlight champions that suit these roles:

Heal Reduction:
Venomage
Vizier Ovelis
Coldheart
Old Ghrukkus
Frostbringer
Archbishop Pinthroy
Mortu Macaab

Cleansers / Support & Revivers:
Skytouched Shaman
Pythion
Wight Queen Ankora
Raglin
Korugar Death Bell
Marichka the Unbreakable
Mithrala Lifebain
Wythir the Crowned
Vogoth
Reliquary Tender

When setting up your team, you will want to select your Pre-Sets wisely, especially when not manually this encounter. Some of the waves can be tedious, especially when facing champions such as Duchess on wave 1 [Floor 110], therefore using your active skills is great for clearing them out. However, as you get in to wave 2, you may want to prioritise default effects to give yourself the perfect set up against the boss.

Against the Nether Spider itself, you will want your champions tuned in this order. Opening you will have your Cleanser option to remove poisons, then the burns of Geomancer [Select the boss at all times], followed by your heal reduction especially if it’s an AOE hitter [You don’t want to trigger the counter attacks before the burn is active].

How should you build your Geomancer?

It’s no surprise that Geomancer is a fan favourite, however, not everyone has the luxury of multiples. If you’ve built your Geomancer as a boss killer, you should have no problems utilising it for this boss, granted you have the accuracy requirements for the stage that you’re facing.
