-The Cyberdemon is a particularly bulky boss who will greet you at the end of Deimos (Deimos 8: The Tower of Babel) and occasionally in the final levels of Ao100. He packs a melee attack that does 1d3 + 15 damage and a ranged rocket attack that does 6d6 damage. He is unique from most other DoomRL enemies in two ways—first, he knows where you are and he will get into range and attack unwaveringly. Second, he has a longer sight range than you do (unless you have MCe). Indeed, his large sight range makes it difficult to outspeed him, even though he only has 110% speed.

 There are three basic strategies often employed to take down the Cyberdemon.

 *Gather a large amount of [[dodge]]. Two levels in Hellrunner and donning [[Tactical armor]] is an example of having high dodge. This will ensure that most of the Cyberdemon's attacks will miss if the player dodges correctly. An even more surefire way to handle him using this method is to take the Dodgemaster trait. This will guarantee that his rockets will never score a direct hit. Be careful, though; the level is a bit cramped, considering the pillars. It is easy to get hit by the splash from the explosion. Also note that he will slowly close to melee range over the course of his attacks. You may need to retreat if you're in danger of being melee'd. This method is advised for low-DPS builds that rely on speed (i.e., MSh).
-*Build a high-DPS character. Some characters do so much damage that they can kill the Cyberdemon before he is able to fire more than 4 or 5 rockets. Even if you get hit by 2 or 3 of them, that damage is easily mitigated by armor and medkits. An example of a typical high-DPS build might be a focus on rapid-fire, with traits such as SoB and TH. Dual pistols often fall into this category as well. Outside of weapon-restricted builds, rocket launchers and BFGs perform well against him. Remember to to time your shots so that you can still get a dodge off before he fires! Fire speed helps a lot here.

 *Melee him. The Cyberdemon doesn't do as much damage in melee as getting hit directly by a rocket. Even a non-melee build is able to make good use of the guaranteed chainsaw (from [[The Chained Court]]) to attack him, provided an armor with high melee resistance and/or armor value has been found. A red armor is doable with a melee build; for a non-melee build, it is advised to have something a little beefier.
