Target lock in combat not working

[Haujorgospanos]

So, as im dueling 4 vs 1 in a battle (as it wouldnt be fair already), the actual combat mechanic when locking in to target with R3 does not work. literally cant target what i want, change the target, and when i finally target someone in that mayhem, my character cast spells to someone im not even targetting?!?! fix this please. omg its so frustrating.

otherwise 5/5 combat, very satisfying. or would be...

OR is this some sort of hidden easter egg about the phoenix feather core wand? Since in lore, that sort of wand might do as it pleases sometimes.

It's not the phoenix core, targeting is broken

Well, atleast the game is challenging as im also playing it on hard mode.

Same issue here. On hard mode, this is getting a little bit frustrating....

Honestly, I gave in and bought the defense potion and all the available health pots and just face-tanked half the fight

im gonna do this. its just impossible with 1 heal potion. too much spells, cant dodge all. which is kinda realistic tbh, not gonna give minus from that. just the target lock is god awful atm.

i just change it from lookinh aim locking to aiming where you are moving instead.

no way of doing that with a controller, aiming takes too long. maybe with keyboard its possible.

I'm experiencing that too. Tried to switch on/off targeting settings but seems nothing changes.
It feels awful in battles, I'm just turning the camera in hope the target will be the enemy i need at the moment.
What controller do you use? As for me it's dualshock

I've found it a bit iffy at times with M&K. I haven't actually tried using the lock on, I just look where I want to cast. My issue with combat is that the enemy protection bubble doesn't always show. Sometimes it's just invisible and you gotta poke at them to see what they're resistant to. As for the 1v4, I found it best to focus on one and just keep deflecting all their attacks into him and keeping him in the air until he's out of the fight, then move to the next. I didn't even need to look around to see that they were doing. Of course, if combat notifications were turned off, this would be another story.

Yeah doesn't work at all. There is no actual lock and when it does lock it seems completely at random. The 4v1 duel really shows off this issue.

[Toktar]

Im glad Im not the only one with this problem... this is beyond infuriating

[Raven]

the targeting really blows...

I've had no issue with the targeting. I highly suggest turning off the target by aim and make it just flicking the right stick. I lock targets just fine and switch targets just fine and if you can't beat the duel fight with the targeting the way it is, you have no chance with some of the wild encounters.

Skipped the duel fight, wild encounters are no issue. Something about the camera in that room against 4 enemies is the problem. It continues to not adjust the lock or not respond to inputs or just not lock at all.
