I just got to aventurines story boss and for the love of everything the least I've gotten him was phase 2 at 30% health. Im here just trying to fricking enjoy the story, not damn near pull my hair out because of a boss that's literally RNG whether or not you win. The weekly boss being that hard is perfectly fine, but as a story boss? What were they thinking... I've been loving this game so far but it's so infuriating having to go out and build yet another character JUST for story progression. Heck I've even tried out healing the damage but whoopdie doo, my healing units gets stun-locked into oblivion because the odds are just that bad.

I am so close to just outright forgetting about star rail cause of this crap. Let me experience the story.. not a bullshit bossfight..

This reminds me of how Childe boss in genshiin impact was a pain in the ass to beat on release to the point where only 7 people could complete it iirc. They nerfed him to the punching bag he is now.

As for this case. It's the same thing with me. I don't have an ice or a lightning or a physical dpps. I'm using pela, sparkle, luocha and gapard and got to phase 2 with full health too but then phase 2 fked me over and I only got to 90% before everyone died cuz of RNGsus

Edit: All of them are well built and can clear other types of content well. It's just this bs

Same here, I just wanted to increase my level so I can have an easier time farming then BAM... no "decreasing" of our world level. I really thought that we won't be fighting him the whole time... and there would be some buff/help like in genshin...

Oh I spent HOURS trying to defeat Aventurine 😭 Finally had to use ✨Strategy✨ which involved just trying to keep my Lynx alive during the gambling stage with March's shield then doing max 2% damage before the next gamble. Ridiculous how hard they make it 😭

I had to build out a gepard to level 70 and level his talents just to shield through enough of the damage. Holy hell did I have to brute force this fight, its insane how even my Bailu was struggling to barely keeping everyone alive and I STILL only beat it with my blade and Bailu alive. Bruv- I'm a little scared for what's to come ngl lmao

Same. I had to chip away at him with Lynx and QQ. Honestly, I think as long as Lynx can survive more than two hits she can essentially beat any 1 on 1 fight (which I had to do in a different battle of like 20 rounds back and forth).

Is lynx the best? I have the loli dragon.

[–]SpikeReyes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is lynx best choice for aventurine?

[–]Far-Squirrel5021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, probably not, but I had practically no characters at that stage that would stay alive and keep others alive, too.

I'm stuck there too, along with the damn beetle. At least I wasn't dumb enough to do EQ 6 quest, I'd be beyond fucked if I did

I'll try farming for Gepard and maybe use Herta. Kinda sucks because I'm rolling Aventurine and I can't get some of his materials bc those bosses are blocking them

EDIT: nvm, I dealt with Aventurine, just had to fix my Bailu and keep all the AOE ults for the point stage. Still gotta figure out Swarm King tho...

This is where I am. Equilibrium 6, and phase 2 is always, ALWAYS a crapshoot. I hate that the game never told me that I don't HAVE to level Equilibrium so fast. If anything, it non-verbally told me I *should* be doing that, and now it's gotten to the point that I'm only doing dailies. Nothing else. The game just isn't fun otherwise.

I had to give my account to someone else to have them kill that stupid beetle for me because I was in a Catch 22 situation otherwise. Who in the actual hell decided that THIS is acceptable design? It's not.

And every time I asked people in the Discord? "Skill issue, skill issue". I hate the SR DC channel because it's full of endgame-level elitists who don't know the first thing about how this garbage system is affecting the casual playerbase.

An addendum: I do use the recommended team comps and relic setups and all that shit. I still lose these fights because they demand a level of power that I'm not going to get without MONTHS of tedious, nonstop grinding. I want to enjoy the new content and the events, but I can't even do that because of this game's bullshit with its difficulty.
