Why is it like that?

So the Shido-Boss fight made me loose all of the fun i had with the game so far.

Whats the point of establishing a system with weaknesses, special combination of abilities and status aberration if youre going to scrap everything and ignore all that exists for the bossfight??

I dont understand becouse I made pretty cool combinations and set ups for my team which in the end are completely worthless and have either no effect or no impact on the game becouse the bosses are immune towards everything anyway.

Is cant be only me, right?

boss is weak to ice, cool. perhaps its weak to mind, nice. it only uses a specific element thats a weakness you can exploit. or perhaps it has a set attack pattern it always uses thats a weakness you can exploit.

just because it dose not explicitly state "WEAKNESS" above a enemys head when you attack them dose not mean it has no weaknesses, you just have to find them. working out how to ensure the boss cant hurt you or only hurt a little is just as much a weakness as using watergun on a onix.

boss has a limited move pool while we can change around things to take advantage of the fact and even use items to resist, absorb or bounce the attack back assuming its not immune or absorbs it.

the vast majority of bosses have a weakness, the only ones that don't tend to spam almighty.

It can make some encounters drag on a bit, but when you can't do anything against weaknesses you just have to survive using your buffs, nerfs, levels and elemental affinities (although with Shido it can quickly descend into you and him casting Dekaja on each other :D )

It makes things more challenging but it can make some encounters more boring as well.
