Crisanta kinda ruined the game for me

[Dorfsowjet]

Not only because her voice acting is so incredibly bad and feels extremely out of place but also because fighting her is the most annoying bullsh*t ever. I really hope Crisanta gets a workover in future updates because in her current state she is a real stain for this game.

Whats exactly wrong with her fight?

[Water Ｖａｐｏｒ Merchant]

Her fight is difficult, but once you figure out her patterns and fight with caution, she isn't too terrible. In the second phase of her fight she will often get stuck offscreen for a bit, which will give you time to heal up and be better prepared once she frees herself.

Also, the voice acting is pretty bad, though I imagine she's probably either one of the devs or a friend of them, and not a professional voice actor.

EDIT: As a tip, it's very easy to work in chip damage against her by combining blocks with dodge thrusts.

I don't understand, why are some people saying her voice acting is bad. She sounds exaggeratedly dramatic and solemnly like religious fanatic at important ceremony, and that's exactly how it shoud be. About bossfight - it's great and lots of fun. The only small problem I can think about is, that she is doing her teleport attack a little bit too often in second phase (maybe).

Yeah, I thought it was great for those reasons.

Interesting to see these different takes. Crisanta was my favourite fight in the entire game. What don't you like about her fight's design?

[oktchau]

With the mea culpa core that extends the block/parry stance she is super easy. All her moves are extremely telegraphed and, unlike Esdras, you can easily block all her attacks.

But I agree with the voice. It's pretty bad.

I think my game is broken then. Her movements seem clunky to me most of the time, sound effects and movements often don't fit together.
For example, she "feigns" attacks and enters the parry stance, yet I hear the sound effect of her swinging her sword two times as if she was attacking normally. Or the sound effect for her sword swing starts way earlier than she actually swings. Or the sound comes very late, usually when I already blocked the attack.
Whenever she parries me it also seems to "lag" (I assume this is supposed to be "pixel graphics slow motion", but it often looks like the game doesn't load her animations in time and just skips them, similar to how you can heal twice and kinda "skip" the second animation and have TPO just stand there with a facepalm).

Yeah, the fight is glitchy as hell for me, too.

Hardest fight in the game by far. Every other boss was a breeze compared to Crisanta, including the final boss. Not only is she a ♥♥♥♥♥, but having to wait half a minute every single time for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ elevator to descend and rise back up is a pain the ass and kills the mood quick. Must have taken me 20-30 tries to beat her, whereas every other boss took me less than 5.

She sounds very amateurish and feeble. There are great voice actors who can absolutely pull off this feeling of over the top zealot. She is NOT one of them

whats so bad about the voice acting

[Akumaryu]

Crisanta has been tough, yes, but that´s what I expect from a 2nd Endboss. The first thing I tried to figure out was when I was able to heal w.o. getting hit, that´s when she does her backflip. The second has been how to determine her attack patterns, which is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Still, you will have to concentrate, but she wasn´t unfair.

I am tempted to reply with "everything".

[4Evan4Life]

Yeah, I share most of these sentiments. What was most annoying to me was how often the boss would get to the parry stance, then I'd break it or trigger it, then the next move....would just be another parry stance. Then the second phase was even more tedious as it seemed the only good opportunity to hit was after she dive bombs the ground. But yeah, the trip back and the parry stance were what made the fight the least fun in the game.
