does anyone else think the rooftops are a bit over tuned?

[Shadowfang]

so i haven't been able to compare the streets to the junkyard yet but holy cowabunga does going from the streets to the roof top feel like a difficulty spike the elites and even the normal enemys feel like they hit harder then be bop and rock steady and they take at lest 5 times as long to take down as there counter parts on the streets am i just bad and this is intended?

Its the last stage before the last boss, so of course its going to be the hardest section. Its a test of your build and skill at that point.

I actually kind of like how the rooftops feel compared to the streets or junkyards: Getting to face primarily the Foot means that your pizza drops turn back on (since you can't get them on mousers or frogs or mutants) and it really challenges what build you ended up with since you don't even get a chance to buy anything until directly before the final boss.

It adds a really fun tension especially when going for a Perfect Run where each room can be a run-ender and it tests you.

Once you upgrade enough the rooftops are trivial. Only Shredder is still annoying.

Not even hard, just annoying. And the Gauntlet Challenge is easier because it's only one phase!

Yeah, I found it odd Shredder felt easier on gauntlet because of that one phase.

Hmm, I have actually found Shredder suprisingly "easy" - it just need full focus and permanent dash but to my suprise I can do the fight quite reliably with very little HP loses.

In almost every miniboss fights or even groups of elites in those last levels are much bigger danger/life loses for me.

Did not tried gauntlet fight yet, even Leatherhead feels super buffed so I skiped all but some minibosses (did 3 in one run so far). Might give it a try though/
