Not bringing a geo is breaking my brain lol
As i'm learning sortie and currently trying out Aita, i'm surprised theres no big healer here, does dnc heal that well and full support?

And why would aminion + whatever else be easier, isnt aminion hard? Does he give more gall?

Cause aita, along with gartel, and dhartok(or stun lock him) are kited so healing is minimal unless the pld loses hate

Aminon is debateably easier than the others so long as you get the abs tp / ws tempo going, he doesnt do anything but minor dmg AAs and gives 3x the galli of a normal basement boss, so its better to work him in even if you cant full clear

Because we are lumping in two different scenarios into one.


You responded on SAM, which led me to believe you were talking about Taint's comment regarding 8b using SAM + DNC


Generally speaking, you don't usually bring GEO to 8boss, though you can if you drop a DD. RDM is invaluable in 8 or 9 boss, due to Dia3*, Distract/Frazzle, Gravity, stronger Black Halo, Chainspell/Stymie etc. What Dodik responded to was doing Aminon, plus whatever else you can fit (which might be 8 or 9b), in which case, you want a GEO if killing Aminon is in play in order to cap attack. If not, GEO isn't part of the comp unless you want safer/more consistent bosses (which is actually a much more PUG-friendly comp for beating Aita/Gartell).
