If you’re looking to get geared up quickly in Warhammer Chaosbane, especially right after hitting level 50, this guide is for you. I’ve been able to progress to Chaos 3 within about an hour and a half of reaching level 50, and I’ll show you how to farm heroic items efficiently using a simple and effective method.

Method Overview: Boss Rush

Why Boss Rush?

• Best for Gear: Boss Rush provides a high chance of obtaining multiple heroic items per run, especially as you progress to higher Chaos difficulties.
• Quick and Efficient: A typical run can yield several heroic items in just a few minutes.
• Scalability: As you get better gear, you can move up to higher Chaos levels, increasing your chances of getting even better items.

Essential Gear: Dashing Daggers

Why Dashing Daggers?

• Permanent Spinning Blades: This weapon summons spinning blades that stay active around your character.
• Hands-Free Damage: As long as you keep moving, these blades will continuously damage enemies, allowing you to focus on avoiding attacks and healing.
• High Drop Rate: Dashing Daggers are relatively common, so you should find them easily.

Recommended Gear Setup:

• Dashing Daggers: Core to this farming method for consistent passive damage.
• Healing Ability: Essential for survivability during boss fights.
• Any Defensive Gear: Focus on damage mitigation or health regeneration if you don’t have a healing ability.

Choosing the Right Boss: Act 2 Boss (Blood Boss)

Why the Act 2 Boss?

• Easiest of the Four: Compared to other bosses, the Act 2 boss has more predictable and avoidable mechanics, making it a safer and quicker farm.
• Synergy with Dashing Daggers: The nature of this boss fight allows you to stay close enough for the spinning blades to do maximum damage.

Step-by-Step Boss Rush Strategy

1. Preparing for the Fight

• Choose Boss Rush: Select it from the main menu.
• Select Act 2 Boss: Blood Boss is the most manageable for this strategy.
• Difficulty: Start with the highest difficulty you can manage without dying often. Chaos 1-3 is a good starting point if you’re newly level 50.

2. Boss Fight Mechanics

Phase 1:

• Destroy Blood Lines:
  • At the start, destroy the red lines of blood extending from the boss to the arena’s edge.
  • If left intact, these will make the boss immune to damage periodically.
• Avoid Blood Wave:
  • When the boss leaps into the air, move to the platform at the arena’s entrance to avoid the massive AoE attack.

Phase 2:

• Watch for Ground Slam:
  • The boss telegraphs this attack with a red symbol on the ground. Move immediately once it appears.
  • Getting hit by this is usually fatal.
• Suction Attack:
  • Occasionally, the boss will pull you in and perform a cleave.
  • Roll away quickly to avoid it.
  • TIP: Right after this attack, you have a small window to deal free damage as the boss prepares for the next move.

Phase 3: Rinse and Repeat

• Cycle Attacks: Continue to dodge, heal, and let your Dashing Daggers do the damage.
• Familiar Damage: Keep moving into your familiars for energy regen and the bonus damage if you have the Tireless Guardians equipped.

3. Key Tips for the Boss Fight

• Always keep moving: Dashing Daggers work best while you’re mobile.
• Positioning: Stick to the outer ring of the arena when possible to avoid getting surrounded by adds.
• Healing: Use a healing ability or potion immediately if you drop below 50% health.
• Utilize Platforms: Use the platform by the door to avoid the boss’s ultimate AoE attack.

Loot Results

Heroic Items:

• Typically, you will get 3-4 heroic items per run at higher difficulties.
• Dashing Daggers themselves are a frequent drop and can be used to upgrade or sell for resources.
• Key Drops to Look For:
  • Weapons with crit or damage boosts.
  • Armor with cooldown reduction or cost reduction.
  • Rings and Amulets that boost survivability (life on hit, healing effects).

If You’re Not Ready for Chaos 3+

Start Lower:

• If you’re struggling, start on Hard or Chaos 1 and work your way up.
• Upgrade Gear Gradually: Prioritize crit chance, crit damage, and cooldown reduction.

Alternative Farming:

• Relic Hunts: Good for farming fragments if you need to bless items.
• Boss Rush: Focuses more on gear than fragments, so switch if you need blessings.

Summary

• Farm Method: Boss Rush with Act 2 Boss.

• Difficulty: Start on Chaos 1-3 and move up.
• Time Investment: 5-10 minutes per run, depending on your damage output.
