How can you find any challenge in a game where your plans never fail? How is it strategic when there are no decisions to be made, no possibilities to consider, no cost-benefit to be weighed when something may or may not work?
Probably because not everyone is Qiox: The Best Player In The World. Unfortunately no game has yet been invented which Qiox cannot beat while sleeping.
Take that personal attack and shove it.
There's a very simple fact behind how this armor system works.
Option 1: Use a direct damage attack costing 2 AP
Option 2: Use a CC with no direct damage component costing 2 AP
Case 1: CC has 40% chance of success
Case 2: CC has 0% or 100% chance of success depending on armor or no armor
Which case involves an actual decision? Which case involves strategy?
In Case 1 the two options have an actual cost vs benefit that must be considered. Can you afford to have the CC fail?
In Case 2, there is no longer any decision making needed. If your CC chance is 0% you never use CC. If your CC chance is 100% you always use CC.
How on earth is that a 'more strategic' system? How on earth is that anything other than a complete lack of decision making required.
They have dumbed down the combat with this idiotic system. And I get it. Lots of people like to never fail. But that kind of result does not belong on a game's highest difficulty setting.
