And just think, in Psi-Ops GMs there are 3 Savathuns spamming those insta death bolts at you, at 35 under

BUNGO must have some of the worst boss fight designs in the whole video game history. Damage mitigation is completely broken since they introduced prismatic, so everything needs to hit harder to compensate for the dr given by transcendence. Best dr nowadays is amplified, because not only reduce the damage you take, but also reduces the likelihood of being hit by anything. I did several flawless runs on expert, and it's always the same bs. If I'm on arc, is a walk in the park; anything else, besides prismatic, you will be fried, even if you only get hit by the splash damage. And all that for what? Some crap weapons we will never use or are only useful to undergeared people, which will not be doing the expert version unless if they are being carried or really hate themselves that much to die every second or so after the first encounter, when the damage of everything there ramps up like crazy.

Have you tried a stronghold block?

Try using the Titan stronghold build people have been having fun with. It’s a Gm because it’s supposed to be brutal and unforgiving

The main issue is that glaives only block damage from the front. The attack hits so often that you are likely taking damage from behind or directly on top.
