Boss Strategies in Noob Incremental

# Boss Strategies in Noob Incremental: How to Defeat Every Boss

Introduction

Boss fights in **Noob Incremental** mark major milestones in your progress. Each boss has unique mechanics, health pools, and attack patterns that require specific strategies to overcome. Whether you're facing the early-game **Goblin King** or the endgame **Eternal Void**, this guide covers every boss encounter, from preparation to execution. You'll learn which upgrades to prioritize, which click patterns work best, and how to use your resources efficiently to emerge victorious.

General Boss Fighting Tips

• **Always Prestige before a new boss if you're stuck.** Prestiging resets your progress but gives ascendancy tokens that permanently boost your stats. It's better to prestige and try again than to waste hours hitting a wall.
• **Stockpile resources.** Many bosses require a specific resource (e.g., Mana for the Lich King, Gems for the Crystal Golem). Keep at least 10% of your maximum storage free for emergency clicks.
• **Use autoclickers wisely.** Automating clicks is helpful, but manual clicking during boss fights can double your damage output by timing critical abilities.
• **Activate all temporary buffs before engaging.** Pop your potions, activate your artifact bonuses, and ensure your active skills are off cooldown.
• **Learn the attack patterns.** Every boss has a predictable sequence of attacks. Once you recognize it, you can time your heals and shields perfectly.

Early Game Bosses (Level 1–100)

The Goblin King (Level 10)

Your first boss. The Goblin King has 500 HP and attacks every 2 seconds for 10 damage. His special ability: **Goblin Rush** – every 4 attacks, he deals double damage.

**Strategy:**

• Upgrade your click damage to at least 50 before attempting.
• Buy the **Wooden Shield** (reduces incoming damage by 10%).
• Click rapidly during the first 8 seconds; when he winds up for Goblin Rush, activate **Defense Stance** (if available) or use a health potion.
• Focus on upgrading your **Sword** and **Gloves** for attack speed.

**Rewards:** Unlocks the **Trading Post** and grants 3 Ascendancy Tokens.

The Stone Giant (Level 30)

6000 HP, slow attacks every 3 seconds for 50 damage. His special: **Ground Slam** – deals 200 damage and stuns your clicks for 2 seconds.

**Strategy:**

• Increase your health to at least 5000 via **Vitality** upgrades.
• The **Auto-Repair** upgrade is crucial – it heals you for 1% HP every 5 seconds.
• During Ground Slam animation (giant raises foot), stop clicking and wait it out. The stun only affects clicks during the roar.
• Use **Rage** ability after Ground Slam to get free damage while he recovers.

**Rewards:** Access to **Mining** resource and a **Ruby Gem** (used for crafting).

The Lich King (Level 60)

15000 HP, attacks every 1.5 seconds for 80 damage. Special: **Life Drain** – every 5th attack heals him for 10% of his HP and reduces your max HP by 100.

**Strategy:**

• This boss is a DPS race. You need high burst damage.
• Disable autoclicker, because continuous clicking heals him more (since he drains more often). Instead, use **Click Burst** (spend 100 Mana for 5x click damage for 3 seconds).
• Time your heavy hits after his Life Drain: he is vulnerable for 2 seconds after draining.
• Equip the **Silver Amulet** (increases healing reduction resistance).
• Use **Mana Shield** to absorb his attacks when he's about to Life Drain.

**Rewards:** **Soul Gem** and **Necromancy Skill** (unlock zombie minions).

Mid Game Bosses (Level 100–500)

The Crystal Golem (Level 120)

40000 HP, attacks every 2 seconds for 200 damage. Special: **Crystal Shards** – rains shards dealing 50 damage each for 5 seconds (total ~300 damage).

**Strategy:**

• Invest in **Magic Resistance** (at least 20% reduction).
• Use **Scatter** ability to avoid shard pattern (move your character slightly left/right by clicking the edges of the screen).
• Bring **Health Potions** (at least 10).
• The golem's weakness is **Fire Damage**. Craft a **Fire Sword** if possible.
• Click continuously, but pause during shard rain to reposition.

**Rewards:** **Crystal Heart** (artifact component) and **Gem Polishing** skill.

The Warlord (Level 200)

120000 HP, attacks every 1 second for 150 damage. Special: **War Cry** – increases his attack speed by 50% for 10 seconds (every 20 seconds).

**Strategy:**

• High health is critical: aim for at least 50000 HP.
• Use **Debuff** abilities like **Weaken** (reduces enemy attack by 20% for 15 seconds).
• Save your **Stun** ability for his War Cry: stun him immediately to cancel the buff.
• The **Thornmail** armor reflects 15% of damage back – extremely effective here.
• Upgrade **Lifesteal** to 5% to sustain through his attacks.

**Rewards:** **War Banner** (boosts all minion damage by 10%) and **Stronghold** building.

The Hydra (Level 350)

500000 HP, attacks every 2 seconds for 400 damage. Special: **Regrowth** – every 10 seconds, heals 5% HP and splits into three heads that each attack separately.

**Strategy:**

• This is a multi-target fight. Use **Area of Effect (AoE)** upgrades like **Splash Damage**.
• Kill the heads quickly before they multiply. Focus fire on one head at a time.
• Use **Petrification** to freeze the main head and deal with the others.
• **Burning** effect reduces healing – equip a **Flame Ring**.
• Keep your HP topped off with **Auto-Heal** skill.

**Rewards:** **Hydra Tooth** (crafting material) and **Multi-Target** skill.

Late Game Bosses (Level 500+)

The Elder Dragon (Level 600)

2,000,000 HP, attacks every 2.5 seconds for 1000 damage. Special: **Dragon Breath** – front cone attack dealing 3000 damage and burning for 500 damage per second for 5 seconds.

**Strategy:**

• Fire resistance is essential. Craft **Dragon Scale Armor** (80% fire resist).
• Keep distance: the breath only hits the front third of the arena. Position your character at the very back.
• Use **Projectile** attacks from range (bows or spells).
• **Cleanse** ability removes the burn effect.
• Bring **Antidote** potions.
• His breath cooldown is 15 seconds; after breath, he is vulnerable for 5 seconds – unleash all cooldowns then.

**Rewards:** **Dragon Soul** (upgrades all dragons) and **Sky City** access.

The Eternal Void (Level 1000)

10,000,000 HP, attacks every 1 second for 2000 damage. Special: **Void Tentacles** – pulls you toward the center and deals damage based on your distance (closer = more).

**Strategy:**

• This is the final boss. Requires near-maxed upgrades.
• **Void Resistance** from **Obsidian Amulet** is mandatory (100% resist reduces pull damage by 90%).
• Use **Teleport** ability to escape the pull every 15 seconds.
• **Protection Aura** reduces all damage by 50% for 10 seconds.
• **Empower** your abilities with **Mana Infusion** to increase their potency.
• Don't forget **Prestige** bonuses – you need at least 50 Ascendancy Tokens.
• The fight is a battle of attrition: focus on survivability over burst.
• **Auto-Potion** module is highly recommended.

**Rewards:** **Eternal Gem** (for ascension) and **Void Walker** title.

Recommended Upgrades and Artifacts

• **Sword of Light**: +200% damage against bosses – craft early.
• **Amulet of Courage**: reduces boss damage by 15%.
• **Boots of Swiftness**: +30% dodge chance against boss attacks.
• **Ring of Focus**: +25% critical hit chance during boss fights.
• **Artifact of Power**: every 100 clicks, next hit deals 500% damage. Great for burst windows.
• **Healing Totem**: automatically heals 2% HP per second when below 50% HP.

Consumables for Boss Fights

Always stock up on:

• **Health Potions** (restore 30% HP)
• **Mana Potions** (restore 50 Mana)
• **Strength Elixir** (+50% click damage for 30 seconds)
• **Defense Scroll** (-50% incoming damage for 20 seconds)
• **Speed Boost** (+50% attack speed for 15 seconds)

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

• **Not prestiging enough.** Each boss has a recommended number of prestige tokens. Check the in-game bestiary for hints. If you are struggling, prestige and try again.
• **Ignoring resource production.** If your resource generation is low, you'll run out of potions mid-fight. Upgrade mines, farms, and mana wells.
• **Using autoclickers incorrectly.** Some bosses punish rapid clicks (like Lich King). Adjust your strategy based on the boss.
• **Not upgrading defensive stats.** Many players focus only on damage, but HP and resistances are equally important.
