Is switching characters suppose to be this op?

[Eldrin]

The moment i ♥♥♥ up, get in a bad position or am about to get hit i just switch character. The AI when controlling allied characters basically has perfect defense so i basically get immortality?

I even took this a bit further and just swapped characters the moment the one i controlled is focused so i can backstab with the other. A boss fight literally went from hard to what is this joke the AI ally just blocks everything and i never take a hit because i just swap the second they focus me.

Is it suppose to work like that? I play on the hardest difficulty, does this kind of abuse get fixed later on in the game? I am still in the early game and just beat gonzo doing this swapping BS.

That's funny i'll have to try it. It is very strong yeah, if you think it's too op you could just fight the boss alone though.
Gonzo isn't supposed to be very hard and he has very slow attacks so maybe it doesn't work as well on harder bosses?

Yes. The caveat is that AI characters won't heal themselves so if you get downed as the second character, you're boned. It evens out later on when you fight bosses that are harder than Gonzo. Gonzo's an extremely easy boss and is meant to teach you the strengths of character swapping (in this case to take advantage of style advantages.)
