Trokka feels like bad game design

[kdoggdracul]

Her overall design is amazing, as everything else in this game, pure class, but her gameplay
seems beyond overpowered at this point.

As a GS player, based on blocking and charged attacks, there's a huge spike in difficulty that seems really artificial. I've been demolishing pretty much everything up to this point, and I've been stuck here for a while.

This lady has everything: insane mobility, attacks that basically negate my guard, one billion HP, as combos that shredded everything else in the game seem to barely touch her, and really absurd damage on top of everything, for my level of Defense.

Yes, I momentarily switched to Spear and it seems to be easy time, but I haven't played the damn spear until now, I don't know how to play it, what can I do? Reset all stats for the damn spear? (btw, saving slots for equipment, Monster Hunter style, would be a huge boon)

After a long while, I constantly take her to 25% HP, and I will probably beat her soon. I've beaten much worse in my 100% Soulsborne history, but they were fair game (she doesn't seem fair, she has too much). Running around, hitting her once and then constantly dodging her OP bs, for a random boss in the middle of the game, is neither fun, nor good game design. This is not f'in Midir, it's a random boss.

Just putting it out there for the devs. There are other people on YT, far more experienced than me, who are complaining about her bs.

stop spamming charge attacks, this is not mhworld

It should be obvious not to haplessly flail at a tiny little flying mage with lumbering charged greatsword attacks but this is 2025 and a lot of low IQ people are allowed to use computers. It used to be that they would just be put to work in the salt mines or something like that. But modern technology and comforts have diverted them to ends far beyond their natural mental capacity.

People in this thread ripping on OP for not switching weapons... Apart of good game design is allowing players to beat the game with the limitations provided to them... I've seen a lot of GS users complain Trokka is borderline impossible. Yes, switching to spear or duel-wield will likely be better, but you can't provide players a weapon and then make it nonviable when there's no pattern earlier in the game of the 'right weapon for the right boss'.

She is harder for gs type playstyle (charging/blocking) you gotta switch up, I was countering/blocking/charging for all boss fights till her, I got myself some gap closer attacks, and then switched to dodging and timing attacks/combos, and she got down in 2 tries.

[Mordred]

yes, she has WAY too much hp

[vunn]

GS main, its not that bad. She is not OP or even close. You play less agressive with her, let her attack. Every attack is easy as hell to dodge or deflect and one of the easiest counter attacks. When shes in projectile phase, dodge the BIG PINK and spam deflect and then dodge the Pink again. I love her fight, i think its fair where its at

Her biggest issue is honestly just that she has excessive amounts of hp

That's the biggest issue with every boss in the entire game, tbh.

As a GS main who loved spamming charged attacks, she is the only boss that you cant do that for. GS has one of the best combos with infinite charge combos with high stagger. However you HAVE to dodge on this boss and shouldnt even use potent blows by itself.

GS has one of the best dodge skills that will keep your spirit economy up the entire fight. As long as you spec into swift/dodge charge attacks with the dodge skill, you can trivialize this fight. This boss fight kinda forces you to learn how to dodge, as her combos are INSTANTLY interrupted when you dodge even the first projectile.

I mean respecs are free and every weapon tree can beat any boss. They all have the same category of skills to utilize

It is a very annoying boss. I had to shorten combos in order to dodge her counter attacks. After a few dozens of deaths I found she recovers hyper armor after 3 seconds or so.

nah some of them have just the right amount of hp, I didn't have any issues with hp in endgame

maybe my dmg just got high enough to not care about the bloat
