Lynx totems should NEVER be able to be elite

[Vahnkiljoy]

Holy hell getting any kind of elite of them is a death sentence since they just endlessly spawn elite lynxs, they should be white listed good gods.

Leeching, blazing, volatile, or frenzied Lynx Totems are whatever. They're slightly more challenging, but they're still manageable. Overloading, though? Absolutely ridiculous. You either have range, or you're dead.

Overloading elites are still passable as melee characters as you can time moves that grant invincibility around when you're about to get zapped, or you can hit and run as needed. You can't do that against five overloading enemies at once, especially when some of the tribesmen (hunters, I think?) outpace you on the ground even with mobility items, so you can't even create distance to avoid a fifth of your health getting zapped every three seconds. Your only real option is to try and bait them away as engaging with the mob is instant death, but the second the totem spawns more, you're back at square one.

I will never not be salty over an Acrid run I had where the game spawned an overloading Lynx Totem in the corner on stage five. The terrain boxed them all in there and also blocked ranged attacks, so I couldn't even bait the tribesmen away or take potshots from a distance, but there was no feasible way to safely approach. Every time I tried to go in and attack, 90% of my health would be gone in literal seconds. It was one of the most frustrating moments I've ever had playing RoR.

No no, blazing lynx totems are near if not guaranteed death early on, the fact that they are spawning fire elite totems endlessly, which ALSO have elite health values, you still have to contend with everything else spawning. Dodging the spears being hucked at you, spear lynx soldiers and the annoyingly fast af sword ones, unless you got insanely lucky on items, there really isn't much to do but go down fighting.

they arent THAT bad. not bad enough to be taken out of the game. all melee survivors have some form of invincibility you can use to deal with enemies like this. Not saying its easy or fun or even balanced. But its not a death sentence

This shouldn't be an elite, that shouldn't be an elite, just learn how to deal with them cause all i'm hearing is skill issue.
