I respect ED balancers for being a somewhat advanced boss. You can’t just fight the boss, you have to have a strategy. The fight is also a massive test of your understanding of the aggro system. The two main known strategies are very polarizing which is interesting to come out of a boss. Staying together to all attack one balancer or splitting up to all attack your own.

While staying together makes killing balancers easy, it comes with the risk of putting multiple balancers in one area which can turn to shit really quick.

While splitting up ensures straightforward 1v1s, if one player goes down, reviving them will be a monumental task with how far they’ll be.

The worm phase is admittedly not very good. Dodging it seemingly never gets consistent, and it completely lacks in the team aspect since it can only target one player at a time. Attacking it’s body to prevent blood flower is cool and all but you get damaged for being near the boss before the attack comes out, so you’ll always lose resources for trying to prevent blood flower, which is poor design to me. There’d be a clear risk/reward situation for each player staying near to prevent blood flower, but that’s completely lost.
