Plan your next He is Coming session
This guide isolates the core decision points in He is Coming, letting you compare short‑term survivability with the looming threat of the next hunt. By mapping boss traits, item trade‑offs, and multiplayer dynamics, you can shape a strategy that adapts to each three‑day cycle.
01 / THE GUIDE
Boss Weakness Chart
List each known boss, note its primary strength, and write a single item type that counters it. Use the chart to decide quickly when the timer resets.
- Track the boss timer and reserve inventory space for items that counter its known abilities.
- When the next boss is unknown, favor gear that offers broad defensive or offensive utility.
02 / THE GUIDE
Armor vs. Speed Test
Equip a high‑armor piece for one run, then swap it for a speed‑focused trinket in a second run. Record damage taken and attack frequency against two different bosses to see the trade‑off in practice.
- Balance immediate defensive needs with longer‑term offensive potential when selecting gear.
- Look for items that grant secondary benefits, such as speed‑based healing, to cover multiple scenarios.
03 / THE GUIDE
Targeted Challenge Run
Select three challenges that reward items effective against the upcoming boss. Complete them in a single run and observe how the focused rewards affect your success rate.
- Study opponent builds in Kingmaker to anticipate common item choices.
- Use real‑time duels to test risky combinations before applying them in solo runs.

Kingmaker Build Analysis
Watch a Kingmaker match, note the most common loadouts, then adjust your own build to either counter or emulate those strategies in your next solo attempt.
- Target challenges that reward items useful against upcoming bosses.
- Complete a variety of challenges to broaden the artifact pool for later runs.
