How to Beat Unstable Lumberer

Learn the best strategies and tips to defeat the Unstable Lumberer boss in Steelrising. This guide covers its weaknesses, attack patterns, and effective tactics.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Elemental Weakness: Frost
• Resistances: Fire

Phases:

1. The Lumberer starts with a series of wide, sweeping attacks with its large axe. Dodge through these and look for opportunities to counter-attack.
2. It will begin to use a charging attack, often preceded by a brief wind-up. Dodge to the side to avoid this.
3. Periodically, the Lumberer will enter an enraged state, indicated by glowing parts or increased aggression. During this phase, its attacks are faster and hit harder, so be extra cautious with dodges.

Strategy:

• Maintain a medium distance to better react to its sweeping attacks.
• Dodge *through* its horizontal swings rather than away from them to position yourself for a counter-attack.
• Prioritize dodging its charged attacks; a mistimed dodge can be fatal.
• Exploit the openings after its combos or charged attacks to deal damage.
• If you have Frost-based weapons or abilities, use them to exploit its elemental weakness.
• Be patient and don't get greedy with your attacks. Focus on survival and chipping away at its health.
