Deathsurge and Lusca are fairly comparable, really...'cause they're the two monsters that often have multiple copies running around at once. Leading to comments like:
[VirtueUnited]Player1: Lusca is up.
[VirtueUnited]Player2: Yeah? When is she ain't?
They're also annoying in different ways. Deathsurge tends to run around a lot, while Lusca has the multiple tentacles that need to be killed and the whole submerge-and-resurface bit.
Lusca also has some very nasty cone attacks, waves that travel along the surface of the water. Those are the usual source of player debt. There's a fairly easy way to avoid them, though...basically, park the tanks on one side of the tentacle/head that's being wailed on...
...and park everyone else on the other side, 180 degrees opposite the tanks. So they'll be out of the cone. Seriously, this works. If you're ever on a Lusca team and people aren't doing this, tell them to.
I've actually helped beat Lusca twice since the Giant Monster changes. The thing is, tho, each time it took over three full teams, like 24+ people.
