I think it's actually a great difficulty, adds a new twist to all bosses and overall more fun.

Nerf it yourself by lowering the difficulty.

one ice shot does like 140 damage and shoots faster than your counter and dash is up way too overtuned

As others have said, it's IS called brutal for a reason, if it feels unfair then it's working as intended imo. Think I've died at least once per boss so far, I've never blamed it on the game and eventually find a way to overcome them. If you don't like it then just play a lower difficulty, no one should judge you for that, go have fun.

Play on a easier difficulty. You can just accept you aren't good.

It's
V Bloods have additional abilities and modified combat behaviors
V Bloods have +3 Levels
V Bloods deal 70% more damage
V Bloods have 25% increased maximum health
Units deal 40% more damage
Loot drops are increased by 25%
Durability loss is reduced by 50%

Even compared to "Relaxed" it isn't 4x damage.

So, you're playing on a difficulty above your skill level, but don't want to play on the one you can handle.

This is, and I cannot stress this enough, a skill issue.

Most of these attacks and enemies have pretty easy tells for this stuff. Sounds like "getgud" situation. Ig you are trying to solo then it sounds like you have to be more cautious about when you are going in for the attack.

Well brutal implies it is brutal it is harsh it is unpleasant. And it does a good job of that in game. There is no shame to lowering the difficulty for a tough boss fight and than increasing it again. But asking to lower the meant to be most difficult default settings to be more easy strips away the meaning of the intended difficulty mode.

I do wish we could tweak the boss stats like in the beta version whether the disappearance of those options is an bug or intended only the developer will know. But should it be a bug and get fixed than that is going to be your ticket to resolving your complaint.
