GUIDE to the Perfect Descent:
You need a full team and no one can go down the whole way. So be prepared for a careful run, where it is not good to take risks, and also for the fact that the game can randomly choose a really murderous Nemesis for you several times and you will have to start over and over again.
Nemesis is basically a legendary Rogue crossed with a Hunter. One shot will strip you of all your armor and leave you with about a millimeter of life left.
Perfect Descent is about a good team, good strategy and ultimately a lot of luck.
Many players only run hard rooms, and while it's not a bad strategy for building damage, it's tedious for Perfect Descent and you're taking unnecessary risks along the way.
In addition, if you are stronger, Nemesis is also stronger, and four strong Nemesis is really a horror.
So some advice from someone who's done it a few times:
1. a full team of quality players who know how to play from cover and are disciplined.
2. use only defensive skills throughout the run - preferably foam, hologram or blinder, because Nemesis often copies used skills and you definitely don't want these killers to have drones, turrets, mines, burning gas, oxide or stinger hives. Oxyd and stinger hive are almost certain death.
I also don't recommend any healing skills because if Nemesis copies them, she's almost immortal as she heals completely in seconds.
And of course he can also hack your drones, turrets or hives as a Hunter and you are dead. I wouldn't even count when you write this to the players, they will tell you that they know it, then they will use the skill and in a second you will all be lying on the ground.
Unfortunately, this strategy of Nemesis copying defensive skills doesn't always work. Sometimes they have absolutely everything and it's a lottery. You need to be lucky.
3. run only easy or middle rooms, which always have at least one inactive door - you can reach Nemesis after four loops, when only in the fourth there are 2 enemy waves and if you are not downright unlucky, good players will not fall.
Plus, if you're unlucky and someone falls, you won't lose as much time as you would if you were running hard rooms.
4. Keep your back covered in rooms. Either inactive doors or elevated and covered places where you won't get an accidental shot in the back. Never have the red door behind you. I recommend taking a position so that each side is guarded by two.
The third loop (mostly) has suicide bombers running out, so don't be too close to the door.
5. Remember to cover with the possibility of retreat. Many enemies will come to you despite taking damage, and if you face them head-on, you will fall. The same goes for bosses. Better to run to safety than face the boss alone. It is best to completely clear the arena first and only then kill the boss with the whole team.
6. Anyone who has fought four Nemesis knows that the only place to hide is in the upper left. For Perfect Run, I recommend taking cover and just waiting. Don't shoot!
If you are very lucky and the Nemesis do not have killer skills, then after a short first onslaught, when they shower you with grenades and gunfire, they will hide or run from side to side to take a firing position.
But since they don't see anyone, they will come for you. And it's time to ambush!
He usually walks on the right. Once he comes up the stairs, use the foam and the hologram as a lure for the others and all four of you shoot - from cover - just at him. Once the foam is gone, apply more foam or blind. In the ideal case, he will not survive or run away badly damaged without armor and it is then easier to kill him from a distance.
Don't shoot others unless necessary!
And wait again. If another one comes up, repeat. If the other Nemesis don't come, they can be provoked by shooting. But only one. Don't shoot everyone!
Sometimes - if you're lucky - the Nemesis will hide and become inactive until you shoot them.
There is good communication here, but if no one is talking, always shoot the one closest and to the right.
And if you're lucky, they are (4vs1 ambush) - you'll kill them one by one.
Don't risk it, stay covered, be patient and good luck.
