Do you have a full party? Keeping up on hear and leveling arts? How do you usually approach these fights? Some early game unique monsters like the one in Tephra Cave can be a bit difficult. Once you have a better understanding of the battle system and have more arts options, you can take on enemies a couple levels higher.
I don't really agree. I found 2 to have the least variety of the lot, everyone plays very similarly. That said, I do think 2 has the best battle system overall -- just not the best variety.
Yup as soon as that was unlocked, you're holding was to smash them asap. Either enemies died before the orb break or they definitely would after final boss included.
With three people in your party, yeah, you should be able to beat the unique monsters at the same level as them. Sounds like you don't have the healer yet though, so come back when you get her.
No I just have 2 people.
The only heal I have is Shulk's little heal. It doesnt do a lot.
Yeah continue until you get the third character. You can beat them with your current party but it's going to be a lot tougher until you have a full party. Make sure you understand break/topple and how Shulk's buffs/debuffs set up things like a stronger backslash.
They'd be red icon if they were dangerous / unbeatable. It's really just your mastery of the combat system. Use positional attacks, get your QTE prompts, chain attacks, etc.
Unique monsters are much more difficult than the run of the mill enemies. Try again when you have a third party member and see if that turns the tides. Them being the same level as you doesn't mean they won't tear you apart. The game gives you free rein to engage with enemies as you wish. Some are beyond your current strength, while others are not.
Lack of time/resources and means rebalancing the game when it's been kept basically exactly the same
No but the party member strategy commands with ZR will let you ROUGHLY dictate when they go in
You've got most of the core stuff but there's a lot more Monado abilities to come and the other characters play radically differently, plenty more to learn and doing real builds with gems is much later
Ok cool. This wasn't too bad then. Not like Persona 5 where the first 10 hours are tutorial.
Certain enemies and characters (for getting or turning in quests) are only active at certain times of the day. Collectables also spawn in different areas. Haven't had any problems with them yet so that might be it.
Make Reyn your party leader, makes it much easier to just use Wild Down after Shulk uses Stream Edge.
My neighbor probably thinks that I'm murdering Juju or something.
ZR+Up to focus on a single enemy will encourage your party members to use abilities on whoever you're targeting. Won't always work but I've found it helps them break/topple
Nah you've got most of the fundamentals now but it can still get a lot more complicated or varied if you play as someone other than Shulk later
There are many ways to get the job done but you have to use the stats, gears, gems, characters... as best as you can when you're 1, 2 level under or same level.
Yes for that reason I will avoid to commit myself in completing all of them. I will just explore, and in the meantime many side quests will be completed almost automatically.
