Few of the combat skills alleviate this either, and really just add a bunch of proc effects. So combat boils down to using your 1 or 2 AoE specials on normal encounters, and the ones with the least endlag/most hits to stunlock bosses. Most characters don't really have many specials without a ton of endlag, and generally the higher level or steps it takes to unlock a special, the laggier it is.


Once you can meet the stat check you just apply the same optimal strategy as the rest of the game. Sure, there are bonus bosses for a "real challenge" but those just require preparation. You can try playing a spellcaster character if you want, but the damage doesn't scale well compared to martial characters, and the game COMPLETELY pasues for every single spell.

Even if you don't know how to unlock the most abusable specials, stunlocking enemies is trivial. I encountered many of Y-axis issues, with my character running around aimlessly trying to find a place to attack while next to an enemy. The battles being 3D instead of 2D doesn't add a great deal. The inability to equip more specials, input block, or alter your 3-hit normal attack makes the combat extremely repetitive and auto-piloty. Optimal combat involves stun-locking enemies with your basic 3-hit combo into one of your 2 (lol) equipped specials in battle. The unmodded game lacking difficulty settings does not help this, but the combat has problems that wouldn't be solved but adding more health and damage to enemies.
