I died a lot of times there, I did bring a bad loadout, but I felt that was okay for a team with correct gear, not for a solo player. The zombie wave was okay, but the kat wave has a dozen kats and snarbolax covers almost all the map with its spikes, leaving no room to dodge, if your shield cant take the hits you are done for (I brought ironmight expecting lots of piercing, and that specific arena is full shadow, not like I want wolvers plus kats :P), I can only imagine a team with a shivermist user or at least a vortex or some other crowd control device, or great timing on the spawn, to kill all the kats on the first charge, since I wasnt expecting them I lost that chance. The final wave is also doable with a team or good gear too. The other arenas I had were nothing compared to that one though, was there a stun bell around I missed? That would have made it much easier. But really that arena is misplaced for the middle of the first level, that or the other arenas should be made as hard as that one lol.

Snarbolax seemed to hit me out of the blue as well, I think it does damage when it jumps out of the ground, sometimes that felt unfair.

Did you solo it? what gear did you use for the kat wave?, would using other gear be as easy or make it even "impossible" to do without deaths?

I could have done it without deaths, but wouldnt have been easy at all, the success rate wouldnt be 100% even with practice, using that gear of course.

yeah just with polaris the fight is easy because you can just hide in a corner and run to another if snarby comes for you. For the kats FOV, keep the charge up, draw all attention at the beginning and nuke all the kats away on the first attack. Divine avenger etc would also work, etc.

My problem personally is that I dont like the idea that you need specific gear for this, and that the gear is the usual gear I see everyday. It should be doable with more varied stuff, it goes back to the normal jelly king fight where people without the right gear will usually get slaughtered. All they need is to open up a bit the traps so that you have room to run away. The zombies reach is long enough to get you if you try to do that usually.

Although now that I think of it, the checkered room's spikes only stun you, originally I thought they did damage you too, and in general wasn't that hard, if the vines only poison and dont damage you then I have no problem with the fight at all, because you could do it with any weapon.

I wasnt talking about any kind of resistance, I meant weapons. If you dont have the usual weapons or good uvs that fight is way difficult (solo). Like I said once I brought polaris it was much easier. To be able to keep the difficulty but open up more weapons to use, the brambles should do no damage, just status, that way you can exchange not losing health for some status effect.
