Lightning God of Yomi

[Vakula]

What a miserable fight. I beat it but it was completely unfun and frustrating. The whole DLC so far seems way overtuned.

[devious goon]

Did you use Daoi-Jins Sake + Lightningstop talisman ? You could argue that it's overtuned but I think it was necessary

[Angel]

the DLC was designed for you to have gone through dream of the strong first

use lightning stop talisman

It just feels like most enemies have insane poise and hit you for 75% hp. Why do you think such a huge jump in difficulty was necessary? I felt the ending chapters of the main story were fine difficulty wise. Final boss was really challenging.

Wym by poise? Also yes the tougher enemy types from the DLC are necessary for keeping the game fun and challenging in the long run, they start appearing in the base game levels on Dream of the Wise lol

Poise meaning hyper armor, like u cant stagger them. Fw im hearing dlc is balanced around u getting some time in ng+ so im gonna do that so i can at least enjoy the game. This ♥♥♥♥ isnt even fun rn :(

for what it's worth i feel like she is one of the weakest DLC fights. the slow gimmick is annoying until you figure out you can use lightningstop talisman/daion-jin sake and then it feels kinda cheap to nullify it so easily lol.
the aoe spam is also annoying, just had me feeling like im waiting for my turn to get a hit in lol before i was using a weapon with a good ranged attack

if you have some ranged skills and/or don't mind shooting the skulls off her body it helps.
you can break a good portion of them with your melee but depending on the moveset/skills it can be a pain with only that

i did the dlc after doing some missions in ng+, i don't think you need to complete ng+ but getting some better gear for some of the dlc boss fights should help a lot

Agree getting a full set of divine gear is ideal

Yeah lol right now Im at a point where if Im not at 100% hp and the enemy hits me, I die

[Simbolic]

Yeah I loath her and some of the others that look similar to her. Same for that 4 legged electric Yokai boss. Might hate him the most

You must be using purely light armour, not the greatest idea

I'm surprised you haven't figured this out yet, big yokais will never stagger unless you break their horn and/or deplete their ki then they will stagger with every hit while their ki is empty

most humans will stagger with every hit BUT there are exception especially bosses
