My strategy was "Fuck this, I'm coming back in the post-game when I'll be overpowered". The wave with projectile enemies was still a crapshoot but once I made it past that it was just a matter of being careful and abusing axe throws and runic attacks. Which reminds me, I could swear there are no iframes at all during runic attacks and that's another thing that I found baffling. Makes them significantly less useful than they could be in some contexts and getting stunned out of your animation feels really bullshit sometimes.

Lol I guess that last paragraph didn't counter-balance all that criticism as much as I thought. I did love it, I just thought the combat had some significant flaws. Yeah, the Leviathan axe is a real joy to use and it kinda already felt like basically a Thor game to me hahaha. The shot from off-cam thing was really only egregious in that one "take no damage" challenge, I just found it very telling and it really validated my feelings on the combat in general. I haven't played Jedi Fallen Order but the way they handle it with stormtroopers is hilarious. I love it. And I don't think they necessarily need to drop the enemy levels entirely, I'd be fine if they just made it so that you can't be so hopelessly outlevelled that they one shot you. Whenever I'd see an enemy above my level, I'd always try my luck against them and when they didn't one-shot me it usually led to some of the most satisfying and thrilling fights in the game.

Khajiit has power, if you have coin.
