Anyone else finding Mother's health inconsistant AF?

[JizWizzard]

Sometimes fighting her isn't so bad bu other time it just seems to go on waaaaaaay longer than it should and the fact that she doesn't have a health bar really doesnt help.

She has boss armor. Maybe that's the issue

Boss armor provides good damage scaling that prevents any super-damage run from going overboard, but still let's super-overpowered runs deal good damage if you can burst them down. I think the exact formula for boss armor could be adjusted so it's a little less strong, but it's definitely healthy for the game as it let's bosses health to be not horribly high on a decent run/ below average run, but not so low that it becomes brainless like Isaac or satan with high damage.

Don't think it's boss armor as I don't get the same gut feeling against any other boss with armor. Pre sure she doesn't even have the highest boss armor in the game.

I get the same feeling but I think it's just the combination of boss armor and lack of an HP bar combined with how deadly the fight is in general that makes it feel really long and stressful when your damage is bad.

boss armor itself is honestly just really inconsistent, some builds work fine against it while others don't.

her boss armor is also one of the highest in the game aswell so maybe it does have something to do with it
