Astarte here we are again

[whole crest]

This really needs a good old nerf just like every other time you over tune this boss. Stop doing it it’s really not good for anyone. Stop making your form of difficulty infuriating rng bullshit instead of actual mechanics that feel satisfying to work around. Until you can figure out a way for this boss to not just be an rng shit fest just get rid of it. Also get rid of the aoe effect that frostbite has. Why now do you want to start fucking the whole team when previous effects were manageable because they didn’t just fuck your insides completely?

[errant hare]

Run vice??

[whole crest]

I’ve tried everything and this is coming from someone who’s cleared anysync

It’s just a load of fuckin bullshit

Please just vote the shit out of this so they stop fucking us on ember

[upbeat acorn]

phase 2 is literally bullshit thb

even with bb its ass

[whole crest]

The whole fight is just way too overtuned and rng I don’t have fuckin 10 hours a day to sit there ripping my nut sack hairs out to beat this absolute dog shit boss mechanics

[tight hill]

I feel this way about shadowrunner. Idk how u sat thru that garbage I’m just sittin at nightmare SR like.. “is the lattice even worth the fuckin aggravation?”

And I’ve cleared ET/Rally

[mossy halo]

80% of their "challenge PVE" is just shit game design
either sit thru 40min fights with vice or etheria: restart until you don't get fucked by rng

at least its in theme with the game name

[tight hill]

Also just to add: I’ve found that going into p2 w LL s3 for immunity and trying to have most of my dmg window available got me through p2 fairly easily/safely. the immunity seems to prevent the dark stun, so if u can manage to get dark down before immunity is off/avoid rng for the turn or 2 u might have to cycle w/o the immunity up it makes it less miserable

[tight hill]

Real AF

Un-imaginative devs fs. No actual challenge, just rng focused nonsense. Just like the other 95% of their game

[mossy halo]

they have a huge hard-on with putting rng into everything. not satisfied with having these bullshit fights we still get rng on REWARDS
ethernet rally? get red cards
dreamscape? lottery rewards 500% variance
ember trek? spin a literal wheel
xDDDD

[cinder vine]

Have you tried using Viper? His passive helps a lot during wave 2

[cursive aurora]

Best rng ever

[formal slate]

they also should stop designing bosses around LD characters, the fights get so much easyer when u have Lily thats not even funny anymore eather u put lily on ur CC (vice for example) to raise ur odds not get fkt by RNG or u put it on your DPS to speed up the fight Drasticaly, i kinda understand they have to keep lily in mind, but that doesnt mean that they can overtune every boss so everyone who dont have lily has to invest 3x into theyr characters to even consider defeating some bosses

call me crazy but lily is a big balance problem for the endgame

[mossy halo]

its ok tho, febian 43 is way cooler
you miss 1 taunt on a boss that takes 1h and a half and its ggs restart
really cool mechanics
more hp = more fun

they really got how to make fun and engaging pve bosses

[formal slate]

Also why does Sharon in Embertrack and Anisync needs a Random Stun when heals are targeted its reset most of the time, like idk thats not a fun mechanic to engage with, she already has a Buff mechanic what i have to take care off if i fail that its mostly a fail aswell but that is something i can work with its not RNG its a gud mechanic play strip and its fine time phase switch to your strips and all good

All this RNG is making the game so frustrating to play in the endgame then there is a 10% absolute effect resistance what makes fights much more RNG ontop of all the RNG mechanics some bosses already have thats fkn unbelevable

[formal slate]

Rengo for example 1 missed debuff is reset all of that over and over again or i sit there 5-10 mins tank him down, might can do it or not it just depends with what element he starts its kinda wierd. Consistancy and Replication in Bossfights are key in designing them

[whole crest]

I’ve tried everything every day and just get cream pied so I’m at the point now where if I don’t just let it go it’ll destroy my love for the game

[proven goblet]

yeah and then you run vice for two hours , get mad st him not doing his job proberly one time XDdd , its actually hard this time around. Even with vice its still super rng.

[errant hare]

Yeah didnt realize they changed it like that mb*

[weak field]

Yeah like sometimes he miss taunt 3 times in a row

[terse bone]

shes so bad, i just got to her and wow. 0 enjoyment in this one

[halcyon trail]

I beat it get better

[terse bone]

i mean i beat it previously. could beat it this time around too. but whats fun abt spending 2-3 hrs resetting cuz random bs stun

[halcyon trail]

I beat it first try, just cheese with sania s3 on everyone. It is bs tho. Took 22 mins

[formal slate]

Gawd, tryin that fight and got to phase 3 once in over 100 trys, most of the trys are restarted directly in the beginning when i see the elements, this boss is way to overtuned

if she spawns Constant or Disorder its instant restart, this is such a bad design i cant beleve it this boss def needs a nerv

[cursive aurora]

Seems like kururu was a bigger threat than astarte

[azure trail]

Making this fight nothing more than an RNG shitshow is just pure laziness.

[craggy berry]

beat this first try and it felt like it would be impossible to lose tbh, i just did fuqiu, ling, vice, rosa and kloss

im not saying they shouldnt remove the rng, just saying that it is very doable and im sure there are many ways to do it consistently

[late bay]

now we wait for c to come over with typical gaslighting

"we're listening to your feedback", "devs are working hard to make gameplay engaging and fun", "its a marathon, rng will even out at the end"

[minor parrot]

We will release new unit for you to clear Astarte
