Key Changes in the Uber Exarch Encounter:

Area Mod: Monsters take 70% less damage, making it more difficult to bring down enemies quickly and extending the duration of the fight.

Enhanced Exarch Abilities:

Exarch’s Mortar: Fires 2 additional projectiles per projectile fired, greatly increasing the danger and requiring precise movement to avoid.
Molten Minotaur Minion: Summoned at the start of each Rolling Meteor phase, this minion persists throughout the fight until killed, adding an additional layer of difficulty and a continuous threat.
Rolling Meteor Walls: The walls now range from 16 to 18 lines, rather than the usual 8 to 16, making this phase significantly harder to navigate.
