persistent New game issue

[JZilla]

starting the game and picking the first area, then picking a character and begin. walking around swatting at skeletons barely doing any dps until you get your first upgrade. the issue is the period before you get your first upgrade, the DPS is so low I am running away from mobs because they are killing me faster than I can kill them, so I am constatly restarting the game. So far in 10 tries I have managed to get the first upgrade only 1 time, the other 9 times I have died before getting the upgrade. Yes I suck. But I won't be the only one to have this issue. Once you get the first upgrade then its smooth sailing.

The glowing skeleton that has arrow on top of its head drops a weapon. Should die with a few hits. It's a bit unclear atm that you need to kill it first.

yeah i died first time cause i thought it was a boss monster, so i went to punch the "weak" mobs and hit it by mistake and noticed it took a lot of damage.

def needs to be removed, or re-imagined altogether.

maybe make a first wave of all weak skeletons, then have it appear as boss, get weapon and level up. or shrink it or something. it is the worst communicated mechanic so far.
