This doesn't surprise me. If you go on Hoyolab, it was packed with complaints from people who couldn't beat the boss (some saying they tried for hours, 20+ attempts, etc.). I do think the mechanic actually wasn't that bad, but I guess some players won't have characters built that are well-suited to this, and the punishment was a bit harsh. Plus, it probably would have been a bit safer to introduce the mechanic with another enemy/encounter sooner so people can get used to it.
Spoiler for 2.1 Original Boss Mechanic - not sure how it changed now:
Spoiler for 2.1 Trailblaze Mission:
Hopefully at least they flesh out the epilogue more this time because this plot has a lot more loose ends given all the different factions involved. I guess I'm anticipating that next patch we'll resolve the main mystery and face the final boss, and 2.3 should be resolving the loose ends with all the factions and "where do we go from here" denouement. All in all, I do think they've improved the pacing a fair bit since the Luofu arc.

which new boss got nerfed? Curious on this, as I did not really encounter any boss particularly hard in Penacony.
the "hardest" thing I encountered is the powered up dinosaur guarding treasure on top of the buildings while I escorted Firefly to her hideout. lol

____________ hmm, and really liking the battle bgm's used in Penacony... gives the mood that something sinister is going on behind the scenes.

I think they mentioned on one of streams that story will end on 2.3. Story is looking more complicated than Luofu one so hopefully it will not be just epilogue there...
Anyway, my plan was save all for Sam and get Acheron on rerun (like Blade... that is still waiting) but Acheron animations and unique teams looked so fun that I wished for her already. For now she got Good Night and Sleep Well 4* LC but maybe I will get her dedicated LC on rerun. For now it seems it's not really needed. Yeah, other options loose some damage and it takes a little longer to charge ultimate but IMO it's not that necessary as people say. |

got to make some tough decisions again. Will be content to have Acheron's signature light cone in just one server.. in other two servers, will settle for GNSW or some other reasonable substitute.
need to conserve resources, since Robin is saying hi in the not so distant future. the other minor problem is.. Good Night and Sleep Well is being used by Guinaifen. Have to think of a cone for little Gui to use if I take GNSW from her.

yeah, Resolution is another decent option for Gui. But I need to pull more of it. The superimpose of the Resolution cones in my inventory are low, only 1 or two.

haha, yes.
well, 2 peaches is better than 1 peach? She give the other one to Swan. __________ anyway, on to a bit more serious stuff. Has anyone here tested Passing Shore (Acheron's signature light cone) vs. GNSW? I saw Sevyplay's guide on youtube testing it out with Acheron's ultimate hitting 4 enemies.. and the damage difference is huge. Passing Shore hit 4 enemies = 761k, GNSW = 664k, Welt LC = 600k, Fermata = 579k. With Fermata being the worst. has anyone here tested? Would be nice to even just Passing Shore vs GNSW, using same team, and against same enemy. So we could have some more data. edit: could not do my own testings yet. But if I could pull Acheron in EU server, would do a few test, and share result here. edit 2: sorry for late. Comparing between my accounts that only have GNSW vs the account with Passing Shore. Her signature light cone is the best, but GNSW is an acceptable substitute.

My current team is Acheron, Black Swam, HouHou, and Fu Xuan. Not the beast for using Acheron to her destructive potential but it does an insane amount of damage with her light cone. |
