I’ve fought the tank/spider a few times now and every time it’s been a slog. It has some of the more annoying abilities grabbed from other bosses, ex the Eidolon’s stomp, and seems to have the most staggering attacks out of all bosses, or at least uses them very frequently.
With most other bosses, even the more annoying ones like Kela or Profit Taker, I’m mostly thinking about how to play better using normal means to beat the boss… with H-09 I am just thinking to myself: ‘OK, how do I cheese this?’ for most of the second phase.
One shots have been an issue for a long time. Shield gating was a demand from the community for over multiple years before it got implemented, exactly because players were getting sick of getting oneshof.
Hell the unreasonable squishiness of Limbo is why I’ve resolved to do Limbo Prime last. If I manage to max every other frame in the game I’ll deal with the frame that has realistic Human durability.
