@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM Yes, ERAM is optional, but its primary reward is an item for people who aren’t that skilled at the game. It should be expected that ERAM has nerfs, unless you wanted it to have an easier fight in general.
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM I think it is still adequately learning, you’re tested on your TP management in both fights
I used to suck ass at the game. I didn’t lose to the Titan because Jackenstein didn’t prepare me. I knew exactly what to do. I lost because I sucked at bullet-hells.
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM both of these fights are really similar except one is easier and earlier in the chapter, and you must demonstrate the skills required in the titan fight to pass it. making the bullet patterns easier doesn’t affect your TP management
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM but you are still required to demonstrate the skill that is being taught for jackenstein to beat it at all. you must accumulate TP, like you do in the titan battle. you can use susie’s and ralsei’s abilities to help you in both, and you need to unleash in both.
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM the nerfs or without it doesn’t make a difference since it is just establishing the darkness mechanic + adding a unique twist
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM it is okay to attribute some things to a lack of skill. jackenstein’s fight serves as that tutor for the titan fight, and shouldn’t be extremely challenging. it is just a lesson on what to expect later, and does not need to be challenging
if you can beat the jack battle with+
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM while yes there is warps before the climbing section it is reasonable for there to be items for struggling players who should not have to go back through the climbing sequence (which is too long and sucks)
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM warrants minuscule nerfs (MANTLE’s healing additions are very little until you die a lot more, and are farmable anyway just by killing the FRIENDs and not attacking ERAM)
@Deltacriticism@CrimsonSkySM mantle’s fight i’ll speak on later, the other two are unconventional and main line and thus nerfs can be warranted, especially jack
mantle is an optional fight which itself is a crutch for the Roaring Knight, on top of the new gameplay style+
