[Spoiler] Ch. 17 battle boss balance
From Discord by Juffacake:
When the behemoth changes stances, it seems super punishing to get a "counter close ranged" but then have 3 close range break points. On top of the fact that return damage being 100% is brutal, and I'm not even playing on hard. You can pepper it down with ranged, but you're throwing away spell casts due to it having study defence as well. Am I missing something when this happens or is it literally an RNG fight?

ElysiumerI do not understand how can I pass this battle. Even if I make 1/3 damage of total health to Behemoth - it heals 100 or 200hp.
Also playing on normal or easy, I don't remenber -

Randy Ngelale MergedCh17 his gained some notoriety among fans for a number of reasons:
2) the behemoth can reflect 100% physical damage under certain circumstances but the weak points can require physical hits in order to damage them and overcome the oppressive healing.
To kill a few birds with one stone, how about adding a prompt that says (spoiler) can be used infinitely for this battle only. And when you hit the behemoth with it, you can stun it and disable the damage reflection temporarily? -

ODS GeeK AdminWhile the weakpoint system does contain random elements, it is actually not completely up to RNG--it does account for weapon types of the Tactician's units.
If we can offer a tip to Tacticians who find this battle difficult: if necessary, please feel free to wait out a turn as a tactical decision--this will allow for Tacticians to minimize damage taken but maximize damage inflicted. Some chances for attack can get you into tricky situations, especially with this fight where the boss can switch its status. Check its status frequently with Left Shift, and wait for the right opportunities and take victory!
