Defeating the Cyberdemon
Numbernaut:
Hello all.
I wasn't sure where to turn for advice on this, and I really haven't found anything through thorough searching of the forum yet.
Usually in DoomRL I am able to stand my ground and kill everything until I get to the Tower of Babel level with the Cyberdemon. To be honest, I've only defeated the Cyberdemon about once, with a BFG9000 and a bit of luck. So far, corner shooting and sidestepping don't really help me that much. Most of the time, I easily get overwhelmed by lost souls, demons, and/or arachnotrons, forgive me.
I usually play as a scout for pistol builds, a marine for shotgun builds, and usually a scout for primary non-challenge games.
Any help on this? I will post my (poorly made) builds if requested.
I usually consult the wiki when I want to find some assemblies to make.

Easiest way is to take dodgemaster. The trait allows you to dodge all cyberdemon's projectiles, so as long as you stay out of his melee reach and don't stand near walls/pillars, you shoud be able to survive indefinetly against him. Once he shoots at you (and you successfully dodge), shoot at him until you hear him reload. At that point move around until you dodge another rocket and repeat.
Another option is to go melee. Once you get zerked, you should be able to chop him up with your chainsaw in short order.

I guess that just means I haven't been properly using dodgemaster then. I'm not really great at sidestepping and all, I need to think about timing my attacks. Spending too much time corner shooting the Cyberdemon was a bad idea after all.
Also, on an AoMr run, when it comes to Hell, I start to lose 10mm ammunition a lot. There just isn't enough for my pistols and then I die.
Surprisingly, AoB works really well with Vampyre and the City of Skulls.

By the time i get to cybie, i usually have a hyperblaster or assault rifle with 2 TH and 2 SOB so i never had issues killing him.
Rocket spamming and BFG spamming helps aswell, besides that just chain fire and heal till it dies.

PROTIP: To defeat the Cyberdemon, shoot at it until it dies.
