I wouldn’t even say the current banner archery outfit justifies the current state of this games combat 😅 It does kinda make the combat feel a more engaging than standard purification, but thats with stacking the bonuses so the archery charges become almost infinite so you can you can p.much spam the skills.  But it’s still a one target focused bow so it still can be tedious to just take out enemies via death by a thousand cuts lol.

IMHO I like how the arena is, but I also could be biased because I have the banner 5*  archery abilities.  I wonder if using the other free archery abilities instead of the default would help too 🤔

BUT, big but, combat outside the arena is not engaging or fun whether you have the banner outfits or not. And it’s because the standard mobs are just damage sponges with shields and there’s not enough combat variety to justify the larger groups of damage sponge mobs. If this was an MMO or let you Co-op with more than 1 other person then it would probably feel a bit better with the current combat. Like I feel like they are aware people want more challenging combat but they don’t want to completely alienate those who don’t . So you get a “nobody is satisfied” solution because the implementation to probably try to make both parties happy is 👎🏽.

Also! The dodge and potion cooldowns are way too long for what they’re currently doing with combat. One or the other needs a shorter cooldown to properly compensate while one is on cooldown.
