Reiner Information

Basic Information

Outriders Reiner Boss Guide.jpg

A sadistic, cruel officer leading Insurgent forces opposite Rift Town. He captured you and sentenced you to death by forcing to walk across No Man's Land, and found pleasure in doing so.

Tips and Strategies

General Tips

Reiner always starts the battle by casting his Wandering Flame to cause you to run around escaping the fire pillar. It makes you an easy target for his men. Use your own Interrupt skill before he casts his Wandering Flame. It's easier to pick off his grunts before dealing with Reiner himself.

Recommended Level

Level 4

Technomancer

Launch a Scrapnel to interrupt Reiner's Wandering Flame then deploy a Cryo Turret in the center and Pain Launcher behind your turret. Sweep the side for Riflemen not caught by Pain Launcher's trajectory.

Recommended Weapon	Assault Rifle
Recommended Weapon Mod	Ricochet	Hot Blood

Recommended Mods
Hail Shot	Rain of Pain	Supplies	Surprise

Pyromancer

Overheat will be your best friend because of its ability to interrupt skills as well as mark every enemy in the area. The best moments to use Overheat is right after inflicting Heatwave on enemies because it lights them on fire and whenever Reiner wants to cast either Wandering Flame or Healing Light.

Recommended Weapon	Assault Rifle
Recommended Weapon Mod	Shield Maiden	Essence Thief

Recommended Mods
Burnt-Out	Fire Eater	Blacksmith	Third Degree

Devastator

Suit up your Golem and charge straight into the heart of battle. Use Earthquake to interrupt Reiner's skills. If he successfully casts Wandering Flame, put some distance between you and Reiner so the fire will try and follow you, then use Gravity Leap to close the distance again.

Recommended Weapon	Pump Action Shotgun
Recommended Weapon Mod	Soul Devourer

Recommended Mods
Resistance	Bleeding Impulse	Bloody Crush	LIfe Absorption

Trickster

You can use a Hunt The Prey-Slow Trap-Temporal Blade combo to temporarily incapacitate the center field. You can then start picking off the Riflemen at the sides hiding behind pillars.

Recommended Weapon	Pump Action Shotgun
Recommended Weapon Mod	Soul Devourer

Recommended Mods
Dance of Death	Weakening The Prey	Double Stop	Slasher
