Ima be real with you, I am pure ass at this games mechanics and I am mainly here for the story.

[Rant]

Yes, its about 8-30.
No, I have not been win-rating, I have not only tried 2 times and given up, I have sunk around 8 hours of my limited time into trying to beat this boss.
I've tried a variety of strategies, different status (As much as my team would allow me).
But nothing really worked.

I don't care about beating this "Pre-Nerf" to stroke my ego over beating up pixels in an interactive software, I am here specifically because I want to read the story, watch the cutscenes and then hold my hands into the air and say "This is cinema".

I understand people want a challenge, but maybe have a "Story Mode" slider in the chapters in the same way we had the Hard-Mode slider during event re-runs, and just make the node not give ex-rewards or something.

Beating my head against this boss till it works out isn't gonna make me feel a sense of fulfilment and pride in myself, it will just make me be happy that the ass experience is over so I can move on in the story (The thing I actually care about).

It's so frustrating too, because on my first try with this boss I got hit with the cutscene and thought "Holy shit Cinema", and when I saw my sinners able to clash I was so filled with motivation and awe for the battle- in the moment I didn't care if it was an "easy" battle where I could have just clashed and win-rated till I won- I was fully immersed and it would have been perfect for me to just be able to win and move on.

Sadly my immersion was broken by questionable design choices (Yes, 6 Coin unbreakable skill that nukes your team isn't good game design, I will die on this hill).

Now all that's left is a feeling of bitterness and disappointment that I can't get through this roadblock, it almost feels like I am being punished for not investing in the Gacha to get top tier ID's and Ego's.

"Just grind more, you can get everything for free!"
Most I can do is open the game once a day to make Modules and do Luxcavation, doing a Mirror once a week is already stretching the amount of time I can invest for a game (Note I say "invest" because grinding resources isn't for me playing and enjoying the game).
I got to take care of an apartment, cats, uni, friends, etc.
I do not have the time to do 12 Mirror Dungeons a week to be able to have every ID in my deck, I am sure you understand.

"Just watch the cutscenes on Youtube"
Just go watch videos of people beating it pre-nerf.
Yeah ain't the same is it? Hope I don't need to argue this further.

Sorry, rant over.
Just needed to get this out because this really ruined my experience of the chapter this far, I hope the nerfs will come swift and hit the right areas.
