Alfa Victor. What is he worth?

[PoorTreeT]

Can you explain if it's worth leaving the dark divinity on it? Because I've won it 5 times and only got a normal ring. Should I expect more from it as I continue to play it, or should I get back the 100% bonus levels spawn rate?

The ring is the only reward, yes. If you beat him within a certain time (can't remember anymore what it was... 3 minutes maybe?), you get an excellent version.
I would say, you can turn off the divinity without regret at this point.

I think people use him to farm scrap becaue the ring is a guaranteed drop and it takes less time than the bonus stage. You can also get a little bit more scrap from the excellent version of the ring, which is guaranteed if you beat him in under 90 seconds.

I personally don't like the boss fights in this game and avoid them like the plague.

Alpha Victor is considered harder than Victor himself, especially his second stage where he spams attacks, making it almost impossible to get close enough to hit him with a sword. So I only hit him with arrows. Therefore, the battle takes about 5 minutes, making it with the bonus level the same in different ways.

He drops victors ring which is the best in slot ring in the game.
It is garaunteed to be excellent if you beat him in 90 seconds or under, which is insanely easy to do if you understand his really basic pattern. I average about 45 seconds or so each time but my best is so far 38. You basically want to leave him on permanently since he is free extra divinity points and free scrap.
You want to kill him at MINIMUM until you get an excellent Victors ring with all 3 of the options first.

This might be a good time to point out once again, that skill-based challenges are not what most of us "signed up" for, and some may have actively tried to avoid, when starting a self-proclaimed idle game; an idea that Pablo moves more and more away from.
From your position, Victor and his upgraded form may look simple in comparison to similar challenges in other games of the runner or shooter genre. Does not change the fact, that some of us struggled with his basic form already.

When I buy a train ticket, I do not expect to be tested for my cooking skills, even if it is only for simple dishes.

...What?
Explain what you mean by skill based.

You realise the way to win is to just press 2 buttons right? You run on the ground, when he attacks you jump over it, and you keep pressing boost to kill him with your sword.
This doesn't take skill, it takes a toddlers level of timing and the ability to press 2 different keys. Both my EIGHT YEAR OLD and SIX YEAR OLD kids can defeat him and it takes them about 90-120 seconds. You're suggesting you have less motor function and timing than a child in grade 1. I don't buy it.
