Give me some pointers for these bosses, damn

[anaid]

I tried booting up on hard, but after the second boss first boss in the creep subway with the shotgun and moltovs I turned it to normal.

I really can't figure out these bosses, their aim tracks me pretty well and my energy depletes pretty fast, I will dodge around nearly everything, but some times I go from full to 0 health in a single second.

2 hours in the game and it feels weird to be dying 40+ times to a single boss, am I missing something?

A couple bosses seem weak against melee. Others you can mostly defeat by dashing in a circle and shooting the basic gun if you are patient/lucky enough.

Clever use of the shield and melee usually does the trick. That, and some trial and error.

I couldn't beat the first two bosses, then i switched to melee and they were no problem.
just gotta dash in time, otherwise they can kill you very fast

Stun ability (on shift) is the key on some bosses

Stun works fine on him. I did not have it when I encountered him but I managed to do pretty fine by using the chain dash. I used the chain dash to get away from the boss and to place mitself away from him in a right angle to the boss. Then I fired some shots and repeated this. You can do the same to get the gift drops easily.

Early game bosses are not balanced well.

Just dash around him and hope for the best. After he gets low hp you can try finishing him off with the gun.

Forget about the guns and smack him with the pipe...

... and dodge the shotgun by the rhythm. I mean, seriuosly. If you are in his face all the time his shot gun attack will have a fixed interval. Use that to your advantage.

basically just use the pipe for the entire game because the guns are terrible

Hydra is terrible?

Yeah, it's really funny how you can basically just dash around enemies and keep hitting them in melee after a few upgrades and nothing will hit you

[Tusnayoshi]

Stick to the boss, they shoot and never hit you. Just stay very, very close to the point they will shoot and the bullets will pass behind your back.
