In this guide, we’ll show you how to defeat Dread Maiden, one of the game’s major bosses in Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
How to beat Dread Maiden in Marvel’s Midnight Suns
Throughout the campaign, Dread Maiden make several appearances. She makes her debut during the mission A Not-So-Beautiful Mind. In some story missions, you must repeatedly drain her HP bar to complete the encounter. However, if she appears as reinforcements in general/side missions, you only need to KO her once. Here are the skills to look out for:
- Burning – Immune to Corrupted.
- Spirit Summon – Summon a swarm of flaming spirit mobs at the end of her turn.
- Dread Vigilance – Each direct attack increases her chances of countering.
Dread Maiden has brutal slashes that, if unchecked, can instantly kill your teammates. As a result, the goal whenever you encounter her is to reduce her HP through indirect attacks such as knocking other targets into her or making canisters explode. Dread Vigilance will not increase as long as you do not directly attack her, preventing you from being ripped apart by a counter.
From there, all you have to do is plan your setup, such as redrawing cards or increasing/lowering Heroism costs until you can unleash a devastating blow. If you can get eliminate her without raising Dread Vigilance to a dangerous level, you won’t have to worry too much. If you believe she is about to strike one of your characters, your best bet is to find a way to give them extra block or resist to mitigate the damage.
