Big Sword guys on Level 6

[Keiroki]

So how much health do these guys actually have, I got to the boss with no issues with a summon ocular build but eventually gave up due to boredom, spent about 20 minutes just plinking away at these big sword lads before giving up and exiting the level.

I gotta say the same, the level isnt a challenge, it's just tedious. Sword guys have WAY too much health, it's just kiting around forever. Eventually I just ignored them and went after the boss.

After seeing the level complete screen it shows I didn't kill a single one, so unless they are meant to be unkillable and just a mechanic for the boss, they either have way too much health, or are bugged.

I had great success with blaster and targetting. I keep 2 level 2 targetting and 1 level 1. The blaster hits for 720 damage.
After that I rush B tier and get the Supreme gun and the horde. It just melts them.

I can confirm they aren't unkillable, but when you've just unlocked the level, the abilities and meta upgrades you have mean they're very, very difficult to kill. your best bets are either to farm level 4 until you've unlocked more stuff, or go full piercing build to hit the boss through the crowd of swordsmen.

I beat the level eventually by just taking piercing laser weapons and ignoring the sword guys while sniping the boss, feel like this shouldn't have to be the case but at least its doable easily.

This is kinda what I assumed, that they're a weird gimmick for the boss and designed to be extremely high hp, later on big sword guys don't seem as bad but that might just because I had better upgrades at that point.

Came here to mention that they are either bugged or there's some secret mechanic to kill them. They have like 700 ♥♥♥♥♥♥ HP. Even a completely maxed build leaves me with like 100 of them and the boss.

And let's not even get started on how the bosses and enemies can start an attack that takes 2 seconds and it still hits you no matter if you zoom across the entire screen in that time

In my experience, pierce doesn't affect the blaster that has "targets one enemy" in the description

This is my biggest gripe about the game too. Makes no sense.

one of the achievements is to kill 999 of them - good luck you will need a good build i used summons to protect me and then lasers for massive damage dont forget piggy bank to get more money early on
