Abilities and Strategy

Topps has several abilities, although only one of his mechanics is truly important.

Throughout the fight, he will regularly cast Dino Dash Icon Dino Dash, charging forward in the direction he is facing after a short cast. If he hits you with this charge, you will instantly die, so it is important to avoid it. If he fails to hit you, he will keep going until he hits one of the walls of the arena, at which point he will become dazed (Dino Daze Icon Dino Daze), taking 50% increased damage and being stunned for 12 seconds.

When his Dino Daze Icon Dino Daze wears off, he will once again cast Dino Dash Icon Dino Dash, and so on until one of you is dead.

In addition to these two abilities, whenever he is not dazed (including right as Dino Daze Icon Dino Daze wears off) he will regularly cast Tail Whip Icon Tail Whip, which deals a small amount of damage behind him and stuns you for 1.5 seconds if you are hit.

Finally, every time Topps gets dazed, he gains a stack off a buff called Dino Determination Icon Dino Determination, which decreases the case time of Dino Dash Icon Dino Dash, which means that as the fight goes on, it will be increasingly difficult for you to avoid his charge.

The strategy for defeating Topps is simple.

  • Keep attacking him.
  • Avoid Dino Dash Icon Dino Dash at all costs.
  • Use cooldowns when he is dazed.
  • Avoid standing behind him (particularly when his daze wears off) so that you do not get hit by Tail Whip Icon Tail Whip.

Generic Advice

  • Do not panic. It does not matter if you mess up your rotation, but you need to stick to the strategy.
  • If you are in for a long Brawler's Guild session, you may want to use a flask.
  • Prepot! Use a Brawler's Battle Potion of Agility Icon Brawler's Battle Potion of Agility, a Brawler's Battle Potion of Intellect Icon Brawler's Battle Potion of Intellect, or a Brawler's Battle Potion of Strength Icon Brawler's Battle Potion of Strength.
  • When the 60-second cooldown on your potion is over, you can use the same potion again or you can use a Brawler's Coastal Healing Potion Icon Brawler's Coastal Healing Potion if you need healing.
  • Group up with other players so that you benefit from each other's buffs.
