View attachment 51765The Phantoms in Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Lemme tell you about these absolute fuckers.
The first time you ever fight them, it's an 8-chain ambush fight. Meaning there are 8 fights back to back, no healing in between.
Their shots are super fast and stun lock you very easily, from almost any distance.
If you get stun locked by 1, chances are, the other 2-4 are also shooting at you, stun locking you. Their shots don't knock you down, so you don't get I-frames from being on the ground.
Some of the fights have leaders that buff the entire rest of the enemy team. They look almost identical save for a slightly different helmet, and if you don't immediately focus them down, you're fucking cooked. You die. There is no salvation for your dumb slow bitch ass that couldn't speed run where's Waldo.
If you get too close, they do a cheeky little shoulder bump that always STUNS you, so the rest of his friends can get in on the non consensual pain train they're about to run on you.
If you make one misstep, the fight is a wash and you need to redo the entire thing.
This encounter sucked ass and I will always get so fucking mad about this enemy. It's definitely a 'do you understand the mechanics because if not, roll the fucking credits you uncultured swine'.
