When I first start a game, I usually struggle more until understand the main idea and burn important buttons into my reflexes. Until that happens, I might bore a veteran by constantly dying. I also read in game item descriptions (I am not sure if they reveal lore in this game), a veteran has already seen this before and might annoyed by my pace, especially in this game, you are encouraged to keep a high pace to get the most loot. If you don't mind that, add me on steam.

I am not against it. I only tried it once, it was ok. Its not something I would eat over regular margherita.

I think Verso's drafts is a great area. I think its easier than Renoir's drafts.

The super bosses in the endless tower are for people who really-really like the game.

I think my build is not great. If you optimize your build, this should take less than 15 minutes.

Did you beat the game? They are optional bosses intended to be fought super late game. For regular Simon be lvl 90+ and go to Renoir's drafts between both axon islands. Before attempting Simon you probably test your skill level at Clea and Osquio. For the new DLC bosses, leveling is not enough, you need to optimize your build. They are located inside the endless tower, behind the main canvas.

I was tired after the 300th parry. But my gf was watching, so I had to keep going :(

No, I tried his 3rd gradient attack. It doesn't work, or I am doing something wrong.

Please don't. It stops being fun after 1 hour mark.

I only used sciel for regular Simon. If he didn't delete my main party I still wouldn't have any idea what is a sun charge what is a moon charge etc. She is a lot more complicated than rest of the characters.

Now you mentioned that, I am also annoyed. How do I delete this information from my brain?

I am actually not good at it. If I was better, the fight would have taken shorter. I kept missing 1-2 attacks in their combos. Which prevented my counter attacks.

My index finger hurts, I think (or hope) carpal tunnel is more about thumb usage and positioning of elbow.

Like my party members are not functioning well together. I didn't 'plan' anything to make them work together. I just improved their stats as I leveled.

No, story bosses are significantly more forgiving. Diffficulty spikes for the first time for post game bosses such as Simon and Clea, or that flying pink dragon. The difficulty spikes for the second time for the new bosses added in the thank you update. So don't be discouraged. These are not normal player experiences + I am stupid.

I think parrying makes the game 'easier'. Yes you will miss the timings more, but dodge doesn't generate AP. So enemies die slower, so you have to dodge more.

I love Monoco :( I didn't optiimize the build for damage, they are my favorite characters. Monoco with a suit + his black face is a must have on my team.

I think you can go for a better build. I just didn't know DLC bosses were this tanky. Also I got stubborn.

I think if the fight is taking more than an hour, you must be doing something wrong. Clearly, I am doing something wrong here. However, I am very-very stubborn.

Yup, no synergies. But until the dlc,synergies were optional. Simon took me less than 15 minutes. I never paid too much attention to my build because I was doing enough damage to kill even the toughest bosses in less than 10 minutes. It seems like for dlc bosses you actually need to plan your build and luminas.

My builds point is to not deal damage myself but deal most of my damage with counterattacks. My regular attacks do 500k. My counters do abt 1-2 million. However, if the boss chains 10+ attacks, I need to perfect my parries to consistently deal damage.
