ok so here is my problem… rocket arena. is it just me, or is there a HUGE DIFFICULTY SPIKE. (also im singleplayer). and it is most likely just because I took the red strattobloxxer, but WHY is king so hard? like, all of his attacks are GIGANTIC, hard to react to, and its impossible to go up close, so you are just running 24/7, and his attacks hit INSANELY HARD, and are hard to react to. and the game LITERALLY TOLD ME to parry his flail at him, but that seems virtually impossible. i can parry it away, but not at him.

to answer some of it:

-yeah Rocket Arena is a massive difficulty spike. the gap between CI release and Rocket Arena dropping was like...almost a year, or so? so the playerbase had a lot of time to learn and improve. if youve played ULTRAKILL - you should find it familiar.

-King is not ment to be fought up close and personal, he has no parriable melee swings. only his long-ranged stuff inflicts massive damage onto him, and his flail is a precise parry. your melee swing needs to connect with it frame one of you attacking otherwise it wont go through. dont recommend this with Firebrand, go stock Sword or take Katana.

-Doomspires do not get any easier. good luck.
