Monolith area difficulty spike wtf?

[Helldivers™ 2]

I have been doing fine my entire playthrough, and suddenly im in the monolith area and EVERY enemy has the ability to one shot me.

How is this normal or even playtested?

Most of my characters are level 45 with 35 vitality and 30 defense. how..

Edit: I was playing on expert LMAO

i didn't got one shotted when i went to the Monolith i don't know what you're talking about

did you just rushed the main quest/story and ignored everything else?

How is it possible? A single enemy just did 2k damage. 2k.

maybe need pictos with more health+def

[Sailor Gloom]

your attribute points are negligible, make sure you have defensive stat pictos equipped and then use shell and possibly defense mode pictos that reduces damage by 30% for 1 ap, and then in general try to just burst through them with your own high dps before they can attack.

If you can't take a 2k hit in the monolith, I don't know what to tell you...

You should have the levels and Pictos you need to give your characters 4K health by now

I am at this point too and I took a break. Weird area to be honest. Difficulty is all over the place. I got one shotted and died a few times. Then I get to the next area and suddenly I'm tanking three hits without trying lol. Trying to cope as well that they must have made the animations on the enemies faster because no way I can't parry the first area mobs now while I did it flawlessly in act 1.

That is literally impossible, i am putting lots of points into vitality and most of my pictos are health, and it's like 2100 on my tankiest char (verso)

Pay attention to the stats on your equipped pictos, not just the passive abilities. Get your HP higher. Use luminas to get the passives you need, equip pictos with the stats you need.

edit: higher level versions of equippable pictos will have higher health amounts. I have a single picto with 2k hp on it.

I got 2k health without adding any pictos that add health. You must not have been putting anything on vitality.

Then you've missed some of the best Pictos already

Go back and try the Chromatic Abbest

Also the fountain in Red Woods (You need 90K Chroma, it's worth it)

See. This is what you need if you're stuck. Pictos Stats. There should be a 2K health one and a 1200 health one available in Act 2
