CyberDemon dodging

(1/2) > >>

BrickGun:
I've been playing since .9.9.1 and have come up against the CB many times, and beaten him a fair number of them, but I don't feel I have ever gotten a grasp on the timing of dodging his shots. Even with Dodgemaster and a bunch of HR bumps. I've read all the strategy info I could find here, watched videos, etc. I understand the "move perp to his shots", etc. But how anyone manages to pull off a damageless run against him, dodging every shot and never getting spalsh damage from the pillars in the ToB is beyond me. Can anyone shed any light on the sequence/timing to outwit that punk? :P

Rajhin:
Move until he fires, shoot until he reloads. Thats all. You should also think about splash damage and pray to dodge RNG unless you have Dodgemaster.
There is also reliable way to kill him damageless - just shoot him with BFG splashes while hiding behing pillar.

ParaSait:
CornerBFG'ing FTW

Ashannar:
Isn't it difficult not to blow up the pillar with the BFG? It only has such a middling range...

Also, carrying enough plasma ammunition to do this, if your build isn't plasma friendly, seems a tad crippling. But I guess it could be worth it.

ParaSait:
Missile launcher works too I guess.

edit: but basically the way I get cyberdemon's head, personally, is usually in a totally incidental manner when I'm on a dodgemaster build, where I just shoot him till he reloads, and successfully dodge his missiles every time. That's probably the best way, but cornershooting whenever you get the opportunity certainly can't hurt either.
