There is a difference of skill between Clean Crony kills but wipe at 50% or 30%, and ugly failed Crony kills but wipe at 50% or 30%.
On Clean Crony kills, you just need consistency and you would have Underpin kill soon. On Ugly failed Crony kills, it’s unlikely you would have Underpin kill.
I dont think it’s buggy. It’s the feature. I think Underpin fight requires the player to follow the strict script. The moment the player get out of the script, the more failure he has done, the messier it gets. As the fight gets messier, the higher chance the player would fail.
The issue i think is there’s only 2 kinds of difficulty… Underpin? which is extremely Easy and Underpin?? which is extremely hard.
I failed a lot on this. But i did enjoy the experience. I had fun. I know, i felt it was almost impossible to beat it… the same hopeless experience i felt with Zekvir??. I have already accepted that i may not beat it but i kept making attempts until i got some clean kills on the Cronies and i got an opportunity to brute force Underpin on his remaining hp. Brann miraculously kept me alive. I thought i died but Brann got me a clutch healing. I got Underpin kill in the end. It’s all worth it to level up Brann to level 80. GG.
Btw, the mount may look ugly to some players. But i find prestige when i use it. People would know that i am one of the few 7% who put Underpin down.
