eidolon battles are poorly thought out

every time i get to one i say the same thing "great another one of these idiotic fights"

right now im trying to bahumat or whatever for fang, except he does idiotic amounts of damage even with 2 med, sen/med/med can survive the fight but that alone wont fill the gauge fast enough, sab/med/med fills its decently but you take stupid amounts of extra damage. theres pretty much no way to do anything b ut one of those 2 set ups unless you spent time grinding earlier to get your CP way higher than normal for that point in the game. his knock up lasts so long that by time the party recovers you have no time to do anything but pray the heals go off in time for the next round of attacks


another incredibly(even if petty) stupid thing is if you die and have to retry, the game by default doesn't even give you a sab/med/med set up so you need to go into the menu and make it, every. single. time.


edit: of course i say all this and the very next attempt i face roll the entire encounter, which just further prove how stupid these fights are because of how RNG it can be

i just did alexander and i thought he was the easiest one in the game so far, did it int eh first try with zero issues, but so far Fangs has been the hardest in the game by far for me
