Thank you. I know plenty of people toss up quick and simple instructions almost immediately after a new Boss Hunt comes around but I like things to be detailed and I enjoy writing things like this.
Bumped for obvious reasons.
I am extremely surprised that no one ever mentioned the great similarities between this boss hunt and another the zombie solo mission Strong Coffee. The latter was clearly the prototype for the Brothers Gnomus, and can be used to bone up for this hunt solo. I had all but forgotten about Strong Coffee until it was recently suggested that an all toxic brainz team on the mission can reap many coins per minute.
PSA:
The Chemist's weapon does not have enough range to help attune the spectrum. I just beat a round as Chemist, but if my team mates had not been on top of things during that phase, we would have been up the proverbial creek. The only thing I could do was pick a player and follow them with heal beam.
Think I'll try Toxic Brainz next. I'm a little nervous to do so as I am not terribly experienced with the super hero class. I hardly ever played it until I got Toxic last week. I've made a lot of progress, but I don't know if it's enough for boss hunt. I might just stick with All Star, who I used last time around.
I ran through The Brothers Gnomus with a random team yesterday who all happened to have microphones and who had completed the Boss Hunt when it first debuted. We coordinated a team setup of two Master Level Toxic Brainz and two Master level Computer Scientists and we steamrolled Normal, Hard and Crazy in under 10 minutes each with the two Toxic Brainz making short work of each Brother as they appeared and the Scientists adopting "cleanup" duty and healing Toxic Brainz to keep them in the fight.
This hunt followed the opposite pattern from normal for me. I had several successful rounds with randoms yesterday on the first day, but today everything's been a bust. Squeakers on the mic, imps, superbrainz trying to snipe from the tower in the middle of seeds of time for the entire game, teams almost knocked out before I even join. None of my usual playing friends are online this week.
I did try toxic brainz today, but with lousy teams and no scientists to help I didn't have much luck.
