This new endless battle mode is super awesome! It's pretty tough, and the person who's picking the enemy lineups is not pulling any punches whatsoever. I wonder if the gamemaster for Helldivers 2 got snagged by mihoyo.

This was the last floor for the current stage I was on (I think it was floor 20) and this was the team I had to use. I reset every time Piper died because she was my damage dealer and therefore my win condition. Lucy does okay damage and Ben too, but I would more likely lose to a fumble if they were my only damage dealers. Later on I ended up losing to an enemy while they were on like 2HP and Ben crumpled and died. That was tough. Piper was SUPER LOW because I played carelessly, but Doppelganger Jane does so much damage anyways that it honestly doesn't matter that much how low Piper was.

Doppel Jane is super cool. She isn't the most complicated enemy AI out there, but she has some cool stuff in her kit. You can open her fight in 3 different ways, depending on how you attack. At close range she'll counter you, and at far range she'll wait for a bit or close the distance if you attack first. It's cinematic and cool.

Hopefully we get some more interesting enemies with difficult patterns, rather than big enemies with alot of HP. Balancing that from a game design perspective is tough, and doing so for such a large audience is even tougher. But what we have is alright. I still think it's fun.
