Can't do enough damage?

[Gantoris]

prioritizing xp, dmg upgrades, talent increasees... looked at the guides. as far as I can tell I'm doing everything "right" targeting green then orange then red.... entering boss fights at the correct level...

but even on easiest difficulty chapter 1, totally unable to do red stuff.
at chapter 2, green is hard, yellow is impossible, red is fuggetaboutit.

increases in dmg simply can't keep up with the scaling of the enemies, even when playing "optimally"

any genuine insight to offer here?

(ps keep the git gud comments to yourself)

Hard to have any insight with this little amount of information.

What character are you playing?

How long does it take for you to clear a camp? (Good clear speed give you 1-2 minutes after doing reds if you skip tumors, as you should, you always do tumors last.)

Do you fight inbetween camps or do you just go for objectives? (You're supposed to ignore anything outside of camps to save time)

Do you focus on one type of dmg or all at once? (Full hybrids are bad)

How much do you get hit? Do you lose any feathers at all?

Do you know what items/talents are good or bad depending on what talents/items you get?

At what levels are you doing each color of camps? (You should have ultimate ready before doing reds at that difficulty, making it a breeze, it one-shots most at that difficulty)

Are you killing the healer mobs before everything else? (The cultists with the Incense smoke balls)

Are you removing the "Guard" on monsters before dealing heavy dmg? (Leaving the "guard" alone for long enough makes it go back to 0, which is bad)

Are you doing the side-quest + optional boss for 2 Legendaries? (Its basically free)

etc etc.

I agree we need more info on which hero.

For me that matters a lot, cause depending on the hero there are certain "objectives" I have in my mind to make that character be able to snowball.

Like sometimes if my luck is bad and I don't roll certain traits/items, I actually just reset lol.

Im about 5 hours in, took some time to unlock all characters and finished my first run with snow queen. (my 3rd overall run with her)
I know you dont wanna hear it, but if you struggle that hard on the lowest difficulty, its on your end! Maybe try a different character, work on your combo flow or even watch some other players to see what they do different.

TL:DR: Git gud ;)

Get your char to level 8 so you have all the abilities. they are weak as ♥♥♥♥ without them.

the team cant balance for ♥♥♥♥.

Rude and False.

The game is beatable even at rank 1 characters. (I beat the game with all characters on the first rank on each one and on the first run on each character) while still learning the game.

Actually the most needed important stuff is play carefully without getting much hit.

However you talking easiest difficulty mean you really need more improvement at personal skill than laying blame

A lot of people will mention skill and whatever but what I've learned from the Ravenswatch subreddit that the most important thing is learning to skip enemies. A lot of skipping enemies. You pretty much only fight things around points of interest, otherwise you just run away from them. This allows you to get the the items and stat upgrades you need to beat the bosses.

Here's a video of me and my sister playing on Twilight and you can see how we prioritize points of interest and run from things when necessary. We also skip the quests in ACT 2 and ACT 3 because we found the legendaries usually aren't worth it. But since we have been struggling on Darkness difficulty (haven't beat it yet!) we'll maybe try giving them another go.

After several runs win twilight as a medium skill gamer.
My summary
- go for low tier POI if you not confident with your skill play yet
- always reserve ultimate for risky event, example grimore.
In fact don't save ultimate, just use for any hard enemies and save your time also fine.
- there is no shy in skipping stuff you afraid. I basically skip key boss and red grimore unless I feel very very confident with current run.
- i feel chapter 1 and 3 quest less worth it due to the time consumption. 2 Sinbad is much more straight forward and less running around
- no shame in buying feather, it give you exp and extra life. Buy once per level is fine.

I am not super pro and I am still struggling with darkness, holy the difficulty ramp is huge

Power comes from stats, talent choices and items / item sets. The more you level a hero the more available talents that can lead to a build that works well.

Just did a difficulty 1 run for fun with my level 9 Pied Piper going full rats and I ended up dealing the most damage by going for Vitality / Damage for raw rat power.
