Boss Fight Difficulty Survey

Game Discussion
1

So I thought I would make a little survey asking how everyone would rate the story bosses difficulty on a scale of 0-10 to see how well balanced the difficulties are.

0 means the boss is extremely easy, not a challenge whatsoever and even boring. 10 means the boss is extraordinarily difficult and unfair, even impossible

The most ideal result would be a straight line with no gradient or a small positive gradient. What I will do is average out the results for each boss and plot them on a graph.

Please take some time to consider the unfairness or fairness of each boss, it shouldn’t take too long anyway. Make sure you rate it from the level you are meant to fight them at, e.g rate shura from the perspective of a level 10 player,elius from level 50 etc

Thank you for answering, I may also do another survey for the non-story bosses/minibosses in the future but I’m unsure how I would go about that so I’ll leave it for the moment

Goodbye and thank you again!

Is 10 least or most balanced?

3

10 is the highest difficulty, so it is extremely difficult and downright unfair

0 is the lowest difficulty, so it’s brain-numbingly easy

I’ll edit the post to make it more clear

So i’m assuming 5 is the sweet spot?

5

Yeah, 5-7 is probably what I wold call the best difficulty because it is challenging but not unfair

6

Ivar harder than allanon? no way

7

Inb4 vetex votes every boss a 5 to glaze himself further

8

They’re anonymous this time, we will never know

Ivar is a 8, his main flaw is that he just needs more room to actually fight him.

let us fight him on the deck of the fenrir or something. that would be the perfect balancing measure.

allanon just plain sucks, 10 easy. If we’re fighting him twice, make it so he has a pattern we can learn so theres a point.

So fight 1 its a bit easier and you learn the pattern, like he after a certain point collapses and falls to the ground with an opening to hit him.

Then fight 2 you do the same. Maybe hitting him while he’s trying to attack the chain, and regularly he will go for the chain leaving you an opening.

Right now he’s just a Napalm Siren, and its just not very fun.

10

Allanon is a 0 if you stay just out of his aggro range and pick him off with a siren bow

11

thats what i mean though.

it feels like the only way to reasonably deal with allanon is to deliberately avoid actually fighting the boss, or getting it over with as quickly as possible.

Its just not fun at all.

I think Ivar could be fun if we had a large battlefield to work with especially since the fenrir has a huge main deck that mostly goes unused.
