====== 🪲 Doom Tower: Scarab King (Borgoth) ======

[[games:raid:teams:start|👥 Teams Index]] > **🪲 Scarab King**

The **Scarab King (Borgoth)** is a mechanical check. If your champions do not have a [Shield] buff when they attack, he will counterattack, steal buffs, and potentially provoke your entire team.

===== 🏗️ The Strategy =====
1.  **Keep Shields Up:** Every champion MUST be shielded before they take a turn.
2.  **Destroy Max HP:** Borgoth has a massive "Hard Shell" that reduces incoming damage by 90%. You must use **Destroy Set** gear or champions with [Destroy MAX HP] skills to break this shell.
3.  **Turn Meter Control:** Keep the boss from moving as much as possible to prevent his "Vile Feast" (which steals shields).

===== 📈 Recommended Team Lineup =====
**Focus:** 100% Shield uptime + Turn Meter lock.

^ Slot ^ Champion ^ Role / Use Case ^ Gear Note ^
| 1 (Lead) | **High Khatun** | Speed Aura + TM Boost + Decrease SPD | High Speed / Accuracy |
| 2 | **Valkyrie** | Massive Shields + Counterattack | **High DEF** (Shield Scaling) |
| 3 | **Armiger** | Turn Meter Drop (A1) + Max HP Hit (A2) | **Destroy Set** / 100% Crit |
| 4 | **Rector Drath** | Healing + Revive + Veil (Safety Net) | Bloodshield Ring (if possible) |
| 5 | **Psylar** | Massive TM Drop + AOE Decrease SPD | Stun or Speed Set |

===== 🛠️ AI Setup (Skill Prioritization) =====
^ Champion ^ Skill ^ Round 3 (Boss) ^ Reason ^
| **High Khatun** | A1 | Default | - |
| ::: | A2 | 1 (Opener) | TM Boost for team |
| ::: | A3 | 2 | TM Drop for boss |
| **Valkyrie** | A1 | Default | - |
| ::: | A2 | **1 (Opener)** | MUST maintain Shield |
| ::: | A3 | Not Used | Do not waste turns on non-shield skills |
| **Armiger** | A1 | **Priority 1** | Keep Boss TM down |
| ::: | A2 | Priority 2 | Use only if Boss TM is low (<30%) |
| **Psylar** | A1 | Default | - |
| ::: | A2 | 2 | Decrease SPD |
| ::: | A3 | **1 (Opener)** | 40% TM Drop |

===== 💎 Essential Gear & Artifacts =====
  * **Destroy Set:** At least one champion (ideally **Armiger**) should be in a Destroy Set. This reduces the boss"s MAX HP by 40% of damage dealt, eventually removing his damage reduction.
  * **Bloodshield Rings:** If available (from CvC), these grant a small shield after attacking. This is a "failsafe" to ensure a champion always has a shield even if the main shielder (Valkyrie) is delayed.
  * **Resistance:** High RES (250+) on your main shielder helps prevent the boss from stealing/removing the shield.

===== ⚠️ Common Pitfalls =====
  * **Too Fast for Shields:** If a champion is too fast and takes two turns for every one turn of the shielder, their shield might expire before it is refreshed.
  * **Masteries:** Avoid the **Evil Eye** mastery on everyone if the boss is too fast; however, for this team, Evil Eye on High Khatun/Psylar is beneficial to lock him down.
