NPCs have EXTREME bias when it comes to combat.
They clearly have Ultra Instinct, as they can block and parry 80% of all attacks and can do it even while doing their own moves.
When a player tries to use a grab move (thats not a snare) it misses most of the time, even if they make direct contact with their opponent. NPCs however, can miss a grab move by a mile and still land it somehow.
The dodge too much. Way too much. Especially Calvus and 2nd phase Elius.
Wanted NPCs aswell as ship NPCs can bypass the laws of the game and have 2nd awakening at level 130.
If anyone has anything to add, i would gladly like to see your opinions.
i mean otherwise everyone would just steamroll every single npc in the game but i get where youre coming from as a criminal being constantly chased by heavy ketches

two things:
Awakenings don’t all happen at the same point in a persons journey, levels are not canon to the story.
NPCs can also have zero awakenings at 130, such as my rival, who can be found using ice magic, sailor style and a katana (with skills) but without using a second FS or magic
My main problem with that, is that they can parry while they are doing their moves.
Grabs are junky, ESPECAILY SNARE, DONG USE IT
Skill issue, you dodge as well, so what?
its not a rule. Awakening as Warren describe “something that happens to a person after certain point of his carrerr, you have to be strong enough physicaly and mentaly to have awakening”
Plus dont forget that we are “the chosen one”
A few counter points because I don’t really have anything else to do
^ Parrying and block still deals damage, and if they usually do this to most of your attacks I’m pretty sure you’re not getting them with enough hits as the more hits you manage to put on them the less they parry or block attacks.
^ Most grab moves have terrible hitboxes, and they honestly are not worth using unless you absolutely know when and where to hit them.
^ This is partially true but only for bosses, most enemy NPCs will just swarm you and stick to you like glue doing melee attacks. If they have ranged attacks they mostly move in small movements and/or just stand still while spamming a magic move.
^ NPCs are NPCs, AI. Without awakenings they won’t be able to do jack shit against the player unless they are in the double digits of levels. AI are not perfect and this crutch is the only way you can actually have a fight without steam rolling them.
Just aim properly, we don’t even have mini bosses yet like in WoM, rivals are just NPCs with an extra +5 level.
I dong use snare
diagnosis: skill issue 
Snare is my favorite move. I like it ):
and so can you if you get rid of that skill issue
