How to Beat Unstable Ballista Ram

Learn the best strategies and tips to defeat the Unstable Ballista Ram boss in Steelrising. Master its attacks and exploit its weaknesses to emerge victorious.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Elemental Weakness: Fire
• Damage Type Weakness: Frost

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Ranged Assault
   The Ram primarily uses its ballista to fire projectiles from a distance. It may also perform a charging attack if you stay too far away for too long.
2. Phase 2: Increased Aggression
   As its health depletes, the Ram becomes more aggressive, incorporating faster melee attacks and more complex projectile patterns.

Strategy:

• Dodge and Weave: Prioritize dodging the ballista shots. Learn the timing of its attacks to create openings.
• Close the Gap: Once you've dodged an attack, quickly close the distance to get in melee range. The Ram is less dangerous up close.
• Exploit Openings: After it finishes a volley of attacks or a charge, strike quickly with your most damaging combos.
• Use Elemental Damage: If your weapon has fire damage, use it to exploit the Ram's weakness. Frost damage can also be effective for slowing it down.
• Manage Stamina: Be mindful of your stamina, especially when dodging multiple projectiles. Don't overcommit to attacks and leave yourself vulnerable.
• Watch for the Charge: The Ram's charge attack is telegraphed. Dodge to the side at the last moment to avoid it.
