CyberDemon dodging

<< < (2/2)

Radagast:
I actually prefer to kill him damageless with a cateye build which makes it too easy. The weapon choices don't matter that much. It can be bfg/plasma/rocket or whatever that can hit from big range as an elephant gun, it doesn't really matter.

The only true caveat is that you should try and have enough ammunition, plus as much speed as possible on the char (tactical boot & armor for instance and a HR trait or even more movement speed if possible) and perhaps an EE trait point or 2, to actually make hits from large distance. Easier done in AoMC ofc.

Supposedly Cyberdemon had a bigger sight range than the doomguy, but cateye with INT2 actually reverses the roles.

With the above requirements you just run around the level trying max distance shooting and running again. If you do it correctly then Cybie will never even manage to throw a rocket.
Done it twice or thrice till now, it does work at least in 0.996 it worked. I find that method even easier than dodgemaster but maybe it's just me.

Also, if you get cornered due to the layout and the positioning "run" to get away fast enough and raise the distance. Use medpacks for fatigue for more running if needed.

PS: It's obvious that antigravity boots, and/or phaseshift/malek's armor make the cyberdemon head (as well as the masterminds), a walk in the park with the above build.

ParaSait:
Oh and that reminds me, I just "earned" Mastermind's Brain because I was invincible. Heh. Like, if you really wanna get it the lucky-piece-o-schmuck way... jus' sayin :p

Cornershooting isn't working AFAIR. Here I made a little picture about it, red circle represents BFG splash, orange circle - C's rocket splash. If you try to simple cornershoot him he will still blow you and your pylon because of his AI. Second variant is perfect, you will have enough time to  unload you bfg at target. Third variant is fine too, but pylon will be destroeyd very shortly.

Trar:
I find the best way to fight him (the few times I have beaten him anyway) is with Shottyman. Not having to stop to reload works wonders.
