End Boss of "Destroy Drive Block" is IMPOSSIBLE
If said boss didn't zip around so fast that it was IMPOSSIBLE to keep a lock on them, that would be enough.

If said boss didn't have a nasty one-two beam cannon shot that's IMPOSSIBLE to reliably dodge, that would be enough.

If said boss' shield took more damage from more weapon types, and thus wasn't such a hassle to bring down, that would be enough.

If said boss reliably HELD STILL when they were staggered, thus making it easier to land those precious hits, that would be enough.

But as it is, right now, beating this boss is next to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ IMPOSSIBLE.

It's not even close to impossible.

Uh huh. And once again...ABSURD speed, an entire ARSENAL of nearly-IMPOSSIBLE-to-dodge attacks, and not being properly staggered once its gauge is down.

I fire every chance I get. I try to keep up with a boost system that seems DELIBERATELY DESIGNED to crap out right when an enemy is winding up with their nastiest shots, against an enemy who can fly to either end of the arena before I can blink.

So, yeah. NOT working.

...Oh, wait, you're not using hard lock?

Yeah, you should probably do that.
Does your FCS compliment your loadout and playstyle? Makes a huge difference on whether you hit things or not at certain ranges.

You mean it's impossible to lose right?

Good man!
Spoilers he's not a unique boss, it's just an AC running the Coral gears. If you can't even dodge his lasers you prolly need to have your build looked at, is it too heavy?

Hard Lock? Oh yeah, of COURSE I'm using that. But, as I thought I explained before, he's flying around so fast that even Hard Lock can't STAY locked onto him.

From Software needs to buff that thing big-time.

I just got ripped apart by that damn thing close to fifteen times in a row. I'm not in the mood for you being a smart-mouth.

A boss should be manageable WITHOUT having to resort to heavy leg builds to support the only weapons that reliably damage that shield and the boss behind it.

I think we're talking about different bosses. I'm not talking about the boss of "Bring Down the Xylem," I'm talking about the boss of the mission before that.

Oh, Snailteus. It's possible to beat him. And he, oddly, fair boss. My loadout: Zimmerman, pile bunker, songbird and stun needle. Heavy reverse legs are pretty useful.

Dual Landau eats the shield quick, but for me switching weapons too much micromanagement.

I didn't need heavy legs. Use the lightweight chicken legs, overall build under 10K AP, dual machine guns, a vertical plasma cannon on shoulder, and the 2 swing energy sword. Took me 3 tries and he was out.
