Era of Stars is a space-themed sci-fi SLG game. Unlike strategy games that emphasize planning, it focuses on real-time positioning and requires operational skills. The game also features bosses or world leaders, which are highly challenging. Many players have asked how to defeat the bosses in Era of Stars. Below, we will provide a detailed explanation and use one of the leaders as an example to illustrate the specific operations.
World Leader Open Period and Search Method:
To challenge the world leader, you first need to wait for the game to progress to a certain stage and unlock the "Electromagnetic Pulse" technology before the BOSS battle officially opens. Only after this can players enter the world leader battlefield.
How do players find the BOSS once it's open? The method is very simple. After entering the map interface, zoom out, and multiple options will appear at the top of the interface, including "Battle Zone," "Mine Area," and "Leader." Select the "Leader" option, and the right side of the map will display the status of all BOSSes, including those that are already open and those that are not yet open. Only BOSSes in the "Open" state can be attacked by players, while "Not Open" BOSSes cannot be challenged temporarily. Usually, BOSSes that are not open are because the player has not yet entered the area where the BOSS is located, or the unlocking conditions for the BOSS have not been met.
Battle Strategy and Play Analysis:
When challenging world leaders, the approach to most BOSSes is similar. The key lies in reasonably avoiding skills, choosing troops and heroes that counter the BOSS, and fully utilizing the combat environment to improve survival. The BOSS has extremely high attack power and health, so it's best to team up with alliance members to avoid excessive casualties due to prolonged battles.
Taking the Hercules BOSS as an example, a detailed analysis of its skill characteristics and response strategies:
Blade (Straight Slash): Hercules releases a powerful slash forward, causing high damage. When the skill is cast, the BOSS will have a clear casting bar prompt. At this time, players should quickly move their troops to the sides to avoid the skill path, thus making the BOSS skill ineffective.
Ground Spikes (Fan-shaped AOE): This skill causes area damage in a fan-shaped region in front of the BOSS and knocks back all affected troops. Once the player sees the BOSS start casting, they should immediately adjust the troop marching route and retreat to the back of the BOSS to avoid being hit by the skill.
Hellfire (Summoning Evil Fire): This is a passive skill of Hercules. When the BOSS's health drops by 30%, it summons an evil fire that lasts for 15 seconds, dealing heavy attacks to our troops. Since this skill cannot be avoided through movement, it is recommended to dispatch high-durability tank-type troops like Titan Guards to draw aggro and protect the rear output troops when the BOSS triggers this skill.
Gamma Shield (Periodic Shield): This skill triggers every 90 seconds, generating a shield equivalent to 10% of the BOSS's maximum health. During the shield's existence, the BOSS's defense significantly increases, and the shield counters medium-sized troops but is more vulnerable to small-sized troops. Therefore, when forming an output team, it is suggested to carry small-sized troops (such as light mechs, drone units) to take advantage of their counter effect to quickly destroy the shield and shorten the battle time.
In the course of the battle, in addition to mastering the BOSS's skill mechanics, players also need to make reasonable use of the battlefield environment, such as positioning, marching routes, and how to counterattack during the intervals of BOSS skills. Additionally, properly arranging troop combinations and choosing suitable heroes for support are also key to winning the battle.
Finally, let's talk about the rewards for defeating the Era of Stars BOSS. Challenging the world leader BOSS not only tests the player's combat skills but is also a crucial way to obtain important game resources. Rewards are divided into two parts: one is the contribution ranking reward. During the BOSS battle, the system will tally the contributions of all participating players, including damage dealt, healing, and damage taken, among other factors, and distribute rewards based on the final rankings. The higher the player's rank, the richer the rewards.
The other part is the BOSS marker collection reward. After successfully defeating the BOSS, players can send troops to the BOSS marker point to collect important resources such as source code fragments, supercomputer crystals, and alliance coins. Each BOSS marker can only be collected once, with a collection limit of 100 times. The BOSS marker exists for 3 days, during which all alliance members can participate in the collection. Therefore, it is recommended that players reasonably arrange their time and complete the collection task as soon as possible to avoid missing the opportunity. This is the complete sharing of the Era of Stars BOSS guide.
