gladiator side quest fight

is the ai supposed to be like that? ‘cause it says he’s more aggressive but he just isn’t, he’s the opposite of that, and the movements are just so strange. and it’s not even really a hard fight, it’s just incredibly annoying and makes me wonder if he’s meant to be like that or if they did something wrong when developing the character or the quest because it’s kinda taking all the fun out of it and it’s just super annoying to get through.

Yeah I've found him super inconsistent - some fights he's throwing his SP1 like nobody's business so you're dancing around his unstoppable, other times he's sitting back on his block.

It's not just you. It is extremely weird and inconsistent. When the sidequest first dropped we had a pretty long thread on it discussing it. It super lost now but you might be able to find it if you search for it. Dont remember if we ever got a reply though

I don't think it's the character, because the 3.2 EQ version isn't like that.

The AI on the tier 8 Unstoppable colossus boss is the most frustrating one I have ever seen. That dude does not play into you at all (holds block way too often, dashes back and light intercepts you, full combo into block instead of throwing a heavy, etc).

Probably sunk more revives on him than I have for any of the story bosses (genuinely true, and I have completed 8.2 to put things into perspective).

The uncooperative AI and the insane bane dmg is just horrible. I'm using a r5 silk btw, she destroys him if the AI behaves, but more often than not the AI plays like an absolute prat.

Try using Shang-Chi, makes the fight alot easier because you can just hit into his block and stun him.
