So, i noticed that gremlin demos are one of the most annoying enemies in the game, but the biggest problem with this is that gremlins can just "spam" bombs eveywhere and throw them at players wich is way too overpowered, since gremlins are supposed to be like the players and do the same attacks.

So, there are 2 ways to fix this, change the gremlin demo or change the player bombs

1.) The Gremlin demo should place way less bombs, only 1 and not 4 at a time, he could still place them quickly, he is a demo, so he probably has charge time reduction. Bomb throwing would also be removed.

2.) Change the bombs so you can place bombs without charging them, but they will only have half of the range and do less damage(not sure if 50 or 75 %) A bomb attack speed increase should be added, wich speeds up the bomb "exploding" when you place one on the ground. There will be a limit on how many bombs you can place, but i'm not exactly sure on how many a player should place.(The highest number of bombs is 5 in blast network, but i think this would be already too much.)

That sounds pretty much what players do as well.

Bomb throwing would also be removed.

So you're saying the Polaris, Catalyzer, Troika, Brandish, and Alchemer lines should be removed?

So what is wrong with that? Man up you sissypants and take a challenge, and if you die do it like a man and stop whinning on forum how "OMGOMGO ITS so OPPPP IT Kilelg meh" some enemy is and either avoid it or just learn how to fight it or how to play this game (since complaining on monster like that really question your ability)....

This game is designed to have weaker monsters and stronger monsters. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE ABLE TO KILL EVERYTHING or be the best. Especially when instead of improving yourself you demand to make whole game easier to match your skill.

But wit. THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE GAME EASIER. EVER heard about difficulty levels? Play easy and stop whining.

I'm not saying that i can't defeat it.

The gremlin demos can place 4 or 5 bombs down at a time while players can only have 2-3 with full demo gear

Gremlin demo bombs are substantially smaller than ours.

Trust me, if gremlin demos started chargespamming Nitronomes anywhere near at the capacity we could, you would find it much worse.

How is that any comparison?
Gremlin Demo bombs only cover 7m².
Blast Bombs cover 20m² and Nitronomes cover 50m² per bomb.

Even worse

Gremlin demos started spamming every 5 star bomb possible, chhanging every couple of bombs. One demo would be able to wipe out a team on Normal mode.
