Wind God too OP

[Porthunax]

Please Nerf the Wind God boss, he is rarely ever beaten by my friends and I no matter how good the run. He's just a tad too difficult, almost ridiculous.

[GrimFloof]

As many people clear him on higher difficulties on the regular, I doubt it's an issue of him being OP and perhaps an issue of you not understanding the mechanics of the boss fight. Depending on your build, the fight can be tedious, but not impossible.

[Niinix]

His sand traps are his own weakness, his invulnerability phase and tornadoes are countered through using those traps. Have a plan for where you're going and don't just glue your vision to him if you and your friends are having trouble with the fight. Save your dash for the last possible second to ensure he doesnt get a surprise dive off on you also. Beyond that if you just keep fighting him you and your friends will get the rhythm of the fight down in no time.

get good

[KesslerCOIL]

What difficulty? because ive had very little issue with him on Reincarnation lvl2.

[deadtoke14]

to be fair i think you just need to get more movement then cause even when i first fought him as long as i kept track mentally where his tornado is he isnt tough hits hard yes but not exactly the worst but i will agree that in coop of 2 or more his hp feels a little too high

He is a hard fight the trick is to get yourself behind the sand traps ASAP to destroy the homing dust devils, as well as making distance between you and him so when he does his plunge you have time to get out of the way. It's a super dodge heavy fight so just practice doing it more often, i've beaten it as Prince and Ao Bai who are slow so it's doable even with a slow character if you're solo.

There will be moments on Elite or higher though when he spams moves like crazy, though, giving you no time to breath, I think this is a DPS check.

Its really not too bad once you understand the mechanics. You need to lure the tornados through the traps on the ground to destroy them, and just dodge immediately if you get stuck in one. Try using a Dragonchaser to hit his crit spot if youre having trouble. The fight can be a bit annoying, but I dont think a nerf is needed.

kite shoot stay out of stupid, he fairly simple and easy and straight foward to be honest

Well there's the problem. Some mechanics are easy to figure out. But -that- is obscure. I don't think there's another enemy in the game that can effect themselves with their own attacks.

If they added a mini-wind god, or some other kind of enemy that shows this off and could make people think "Huh, that might work on something else", I'd be okay with it.

Just poor implementation.

That's the reason they removed Cube rooms from high difficulties

It feels like a lot of the content lately is, at least Reincarnation is optional.

make the other bosses as hard as the wind boss

Just your lazyness and no will to learn(by failing).

The reason they removed it - cuz a bunch of casuals cried all over the forums(again).

Everything is optional, even playing the game itself.

Nope, cube rooms were just horrible in reincarnation especially in higher difficulties. They were impossible to beat if you didn't get good rolls and the new desert cube room was the worst of them all. I'm no casual.

[Frisky]

personally I think the wind god is just more annoying and time wasting than OP
The original stage 2 boss tends to do more damage in my experience while the wind god is like getting annoyed by an oversized fly who won't hold his stupid head still for 2 seconds

[Ninja Zyborg]

yeah its much harder than the other boss option there.

[MagiMelkor]

If you didn't take any movement speed abilities by the time you run into him that is your own fault. He is easily doable even on reincarnation 7.
