Guide: How to Defeat Ruthless Warrior

Ruthless Warrior is a War Mode Boss with average and high damage. It is a hard boss to defeat, but with proper preparation you can defeat it. It can spawn randomly after defeating a War Mode Boss (except itself).

Arena:

 * Sky Bridge: Build a bridge high enough for the ground enemies to be unable to reach you and low enough for the Wyverns not to spawn. Make the bridge start from an edge of the map and end in the other edge. It has to be as long as the map and made of platforms. This is the best arena for Phase 4.
 * Lava Arena: Make a big arena filled with lava, prepare your lava resistance accesories/ potions and summon the boss. Try to keep it in the arena while shooting at it.
 * Classic Fight: Simply fight the boss on the ground. It's hard to defeat it this way but can work if you use proper equipment.

Armor:

 * It is recommended to use Magnet Armor if you prefer to use more weapon types in the fight, Moonlight Armor as a Mage, Pure God Armor as a Ranger and Dark God Armor as a Melee Fighter. It's not recommended to use Summoner Armor.

Accesories:

 * Ultima Boots are a good choice.
 * A Star Veil can be useful.
 * Any Shield will help.
 * Any damage increasing accesorry is great.
 * Use a Sniper Scope if you are a Ranger
 * Mana Flowers are very good for Mages as in War Mode the Mana Sickness debuff is a lot weaker.
 * Use lava resistance accesorries in a lava arena, as the Ruthless Warrior takes damage from lava.
 * Damage Pets will be useful to take out Spirits, but will have no effect againist the boss.

Potions:

 * Regeneration, Wrath, Ironkskin and Thorns potions are a common choice.
 * Anemona Potion is good for eliminating the Spirits in Phase 3.
 * Swiftness Potions or Turbo Potions are a must as the boss is very fast in Phase 2 and Phase 4. They will help you to dodge the attacks and reach him before getting at the map's edge.

Weapons:

 * Magic: A weapon with long reach that homes in enemies can be great as you won't have a lot contact with the boss with this type of weapons. Hell Scythe and Staff of Blueholes are good choices.


 * Ranged: A Moonshot with Virgo Bullets is the best ranged weapon you can use for this boss. A Golden Deagle with Gold Bullets can also be effective if you don't have the Moonshot.
 * Melee: All the War Mode Melee Weapons that shoot projectiles, have a good speed and deal at least 200 Damage are very good.
 * Summoner: No, don't try to defeat this boss as a summoner. It's totally immune to summon damage.
 * Throwing: Akrivide Probes can be very powerful when used right.
