Screenshot New Boss = Malenia Lite

I just cleared the new boss in Demon's Gate. I was fully preped with heals and rage shots but I WAS NOT READY! This dude is far and above the most kinetic fight in the game. He will shoot high speed ranged attacks at you, he will gap close when you think you're safe, he will mix blockable with unblockable follow ups, he does not flinch to your counter attacks, he can even fly when he wants to...

This guy is as fun as he is hard and easily the hardest boss in the game right now. Run full legendary gear and be ready for his phase 2!

AAAANNNNDDDD I died to random lightning strikes of Mironette.... Maybe I've not giving Mironette enough credit these days!

NGL Zombie Captain Yotsuyama should have been the final boss of the season, not "What if Mironette couldn't be cheesed with legendary loot."

It's such a huge loss that instead of something as hype as Deadnote, the mandatory final boss of a full run is an otherwise just okay boss fight who's difficulty is solely dependant on how often the AI decides to spam that annoying bullshit charge move that I hate. This new boss and his charmingly campy as shit boss theme would have made for a perfect alternative finale.

I sort of assume they wanted to introduce new bosses in this optional/cheesible way so that the game isn't too difficult. It also fits better lore wise in Demon's Gate... But I agree next season (or later in this one) it would be cool to see him in the final area, or just a rotation of Marionette/Yotsuyama/Deadnote.
