(Very long "rant" incoming, also sorry if it sounds more like a lot of complaining rather than actual criticism.)
I seriously don't know if im just very bad at this game's new challenge content, or if I don't get how some people have strats that I can copy go super well for them, but have my attempts with said combo go extremely bad even tho I'm using the same gear, same combos, same dragon, everything. Using ranger with a dex build, max darkness resistance, protection dragon, blade of awe/doom blade of sorrows special depending on the situation, and I just get completely destroyed, tried with DK and the same thing happened.
I feel like no matter what I do I always stand no chance at actually winning these without getting lucky and it really has been pushing me away from clearing the new challenge content as it just never works for me even if I do exactly what other people do. Like the older challenge content I found to be hard as well but it wasn't as over the top brutal as it is now where you need to be basically perfect or you get 1 shot. B4 challenges at least had some lenience to them if you made a mistake, but here its just "oh you dont have defense up bc they're on cooldown? DEAD" or "oh my bonus and crit is way too high? DEAD even while you have shields on."
In my last ranger attempt i got nuked for 1700 evil damage bc the destroyer pierced my defense and crit 3/7 times even tho I had the +175 defense buff active. At this rate the question here isn't "Do I have the skills to actually beat this?" its "How many thousands of gold do I have to waste b4 the rng actually lets me have a chance?" Cause I shouldn't lose a run bc I have everything on thats supposed to make me not die, but bc of buffs you have no control over, he 1 shots you anyway.
Its just completely unfun for me to work on these anymore, and I really don't like that, these challenges began as fair fights where anyone stood a chance as long as you understood the gimmicks, and now its just a chore bc theres so many more factors that can kill a run thats not under your control. It really disappoints me that these challenges have become this way, cause I really liked going into a challenge, taking like an hour or 2 to understand the fights, then work on the duos, now its the same starting process, but the gimmicks have gotten so unbelievably difficult, and sometimes unfair, that even perfect knowledge of the fight isn't enough to consistently push out a victory just bc theres factors like nukes happening out of rotation, bosses that raise their accuracy so even your shields are almost worthless, and its all due to luck.
A good example of the biggest one I hated grinding I actually cleared was wolfwing, as I found no way to even come close to a victory when you get him under 50% hp, I just had to grind attempt after attempt after attempt to pray that I could nuke him from half hp to 0 using doomknight's shadow dragon nuke which took like 50+ tries.
Don't get me wrong, this rant isn't about me not liking having challenging content in general, all games should have it, but the level of difficulty for these have been going higher and higher and higher to a point where pure skill is becoming less and less of a factor. Like the hardest challenges for me arent the ones that take forever and have you read a set attack rotation, its ones like this one where its just pure luck if you win or lose bc of accuracy buffs, 1 shot attacks, and resistance lowering attacks. At this rate I feel like I almost need someone to just tell me exactly how to beat these with the exact move order they used and just hope that works cause my own skill apparently isnt enough anymore just due to i guess always having too bad rng.
(Which btw I only got a single dragon to half hp once, every other attempt got nuked bc of bad rng or turn order.)
Really disappoints me that I feel this way about these now, but I guess i just dont have the skills to keep going up in difficulty anymore so I'm stuck at having the hardest thing I've cleared without the use of the DK op nuking bug b4 it was fixed, or pumpkinlord/guardian 1 shots being I think idk maybe tainted time or failed doom, or maybe frailmar and the hyperhydras. All good achievements, but nothing like clearing the Ice and dragons challenges, The corrupted 7 gauntlet and pandora EX, and the whole exaltia tower which I feel like I have 0 chance of winning without just a being shown a winning move order.
Rant over, I guess, sorry it ended up being a 5 page essay basically repeating the same things over and over again, but I just hate the feeling of never being good enough to finish something, especially when its in a game i've been loving to play for the past almost 14 years now, as you'd think I'd have developed the skills needed to do almost anything, but guess not.
(Well that got a bit depressing, but having failure after failure after failure as each challenge releases, really doesn't put me in a happy mindset, and if the difficulty of these keeps rising, I'm afraid that might not change in the future either if I can't even stand a chance to stuff released almost a year ago now.)
