I need to find how to get a faster time in. I was hoping to get some feedback on my performance. I feel I did a pretty good minus a couple failed dodges.

I was using scholar and now just bought Strength to better my time.

So with strength I put it on my exotic set. Will it be too much of a difference NOT putting it on my ascended?

And also how do I upkeep high amounts of might with strength runes? (Never used em)

Thanks in advance guys!

look at the list of consumable, mainly the ember and ogre pet whistle (you ckittene them for the p2 transition so you don’t get the grub). Also try to dodge into him for phase 3, since it deals damage with the minor trait. Other than that, very nice solo

Yeah for p3 I suddenly wasn’t dodging into him for the first minute. I don’t know why I stopped.

And for the grub, for some reason when I summon the fire elemental, while yes he takes the grub, I can’t kill the grub in time for lupi to not eat it. Or lupi will start his blast and I’ll have to dodge and sacrifice not killing it.

I find going far away instead allows me to kill the grub. Idk

You should be using rush off cooldown, when you run out phase 3 aoe you don’t blade trail or throw axe + impale, as mentioned dodge in to him. You whirled away once so when whirling in to him always click the skill instead of aiming with your mouse. Pre stack adrenaline so you open up the fight with berserkers power, push him before actually attacking, consider using dragon breath bun when killing transition grub then switch back to dps food so you get 200 power and your deeps food. If you want to go even harder, kill a grub before you even attack, but the amount of times lupicus just resets randomly just makes it a waste of time unless pushing for a record. Use hylek poison or med kit after going out of phase 3 aoe so you have swiftness and don’t need to eviscerate back in (taking ticks of damage makes him heal, don’t do it). Also, try conditions. Although I haven’t put too much effort in to it, post patch I have a 5:25 berserker lupicus and a 5:15 condition, both which I haven’t uploaded. To maintain might with strength runes you just do your regular rotation. Typing from a phone so probably made a bunch of errors and it means I couldn’t format my post nicely but I think I covered it all.

Ah ok I’ll try to apply all of this.
Last Q I have is, how do you deal with transition grub? Should I move back like I did in my vid or use fire elemental? I find using fire elemental, lupi eats the grub before I can kill it.

Use fire elemental. It barely makes a noticeable difference on kill time if he eats 1 grub. Its only a 2% reduction.

Do neither, instead pop an Ogre Pet Whistle that is also a stun break after the transition grub erupts. This way you’ll remain on top of lupicus and be able to keep dishing out DPS that will more often than not take the grub down before he can eat it.
Though beware the timing of the stun break, usually after transition into p2 good old lupi likes to slash you right off the bat if you’re in melee.
Also in p1 you danced around too much, try finding the sweet spot on it’kittenbox as you did for a couple of seconds and you’ll have more free reign to get some deeps in without worrying about repositioning the big bad wolf. You’re already doing a pretty good job in using your WWA to avoid most of it’s kicks and grubs so it should be a walk in the park.

It’s those RNG locusts that make me move sadly

I think you did a very good job. Nitpicking here, but you can actually stand just outside his hit box in phase 1 to strafe the locusts and still hit him. Ogre Whistle/Ember the transition. Phase 3: I would suggest for his PBAoE to WWA into him, then dodge back and switch to axe/sword for sword 5.

Once again, nitpicking, but rip (sword 4) before you switch weapons, use rush more often, keep an eye on your gs cooldowns to make sure you’re always using 100b, rush and WWA to their fullest potential.

Good job though!!

Thanks haha I tried my best.

Attempting to do it today with strength was just bad. So many locust swarms and RNG blasts

That’s what the harpy feathers and spykits are for. Don’t let Lupi mistreat you with RNG!
