Something feels off about 1010 fight.

[Mr Darkly Beard]

I've been trying to do the 1010 fight on Hard and their projectile barrage seems unavoidable for some reason. At least 3 out of 5 band members seem to lock onto me, leaving no space for retaliation/parrying. It is possible that i am just bad at the game, so any tips are welcome.
Though this still feels like some sort of bug.

stand near a corner in the front ( close to you on the monitor side ) and just make your way right withouth didge rolling. swicth to Zuke, if you must - his dodges are faster out of attacks and whatnot.
if youre int he middle of the satage, the attack perojectiles wille asily close ther gap on you.

as wwith any game using this sort of tracking attack - start from extreme side of screen, and slwoly make your way to ther exact opposite -0 saving your didge for a pinch

gotcha, will try that

Yeah no, those projectiles don't seem dodgeable at all. Looking at online footage of the fight those projectiles seem to have a bit more travel time there.

did they change them since the firsat game? im on 1010 next in my game, ill let ya know how it fares for encroe.
the first game that boss was a joke, tbh

It is very much beatable, but it really seems like not getting hit there is not much of an option. Guess i should've mentioned that i am just trying to not take excess damage in general. Still got S rank without much issue by now, with only subpar score being "Damage Taken".

oh going for them plat records, alright. yeah THAt can be tough. i suggest you pump stickers into Zuke to increase his shooting damage , use him primarily - and do you have bunkbed junctions powerup for collecting notes = overflow to partner? that helps a ton in that battle.

always try to stay on Zuke bc he is qujicker and more nimble, but his mellee is bad

i don't have those yet, i will try and max out the upgrades before attempting that again. Thanks for tips!

the one thing i hated about 1010 is the fight took AGES in the old version. im hoping some rebalancing went into it, bc whew. it's just insane.

also keep in mind you can parry purple colored attacks for massive damage as well!
