“Too Easy!” The First Descendant Players Disappointed WIth the New Colossus, Tormentor 

Even though The First Descendant S2E2 update is absolutely awesome, it looks like some parts are lacking, as the players are a bit disappointed with the Tormentor.

Just a few days ago, we got the long-awaited Season 2 Episode 2: Beyond the Void update, and it was huge. It moved the storyline forward (which is beyond cool), added Serena (who already stole the hearts and minds of all players), and introduced some new features (like Photo Mode and Arche Tuning), new weapons, a new Colossus, and more. On that last note, the new Colossus is Tormentor. Naturally, the newest Colossus in the game is supposed to be the toughest nut to crack. We all remember Gluttony and the chaos it wrought before the devs decided to nerf it. But, concerning Tormentor, it looks like the devs underestimated the players this time, as it proves to hardly be a challenge.

The Players Expected More From the Tormentor, the Newest Boss in The First Descendant

Tormentor was added as a new Abyss boss on March 13. Before the update, when Nexon revealed the design, the fans were a bit miffed with it being just a reskin of an existing Colossus. Regardless, every new Colossus is of a higher level than its predecessors, so the players expected that the Tormentor would be a tough nut to crack, especially after all the comments about the end-game not being challenging enough. Unfortunately, it seems that they hoped too much.

As it turns out, players can obliterate Tormentor in a matter of seconds. We all expected a bit more challenge and naturally, the players are not happy with this. When Nexon shared a post to “advertise” Tormentor a bit more, the players made their dissatisfaction known. 

“This is what’s wrong with tfd imo. This is the highest lvl boss in the game and on day one we’re killing him in 2 seconds. Where’s the difficulty at??” asked MGilman1204, “Gotta make the boss a bit more difficult, I remember when Gluttony came out that’s how a boss should be at least for the first month.” stated iDragonHeartz, and “Making the game this easy isn’t healthy for its future. Serena and Ines need nerfs, while collossi need buffs. Also you guys said designing collossi takes a long time, dont you think it’s a waste of time if you then make them beatable in under 2 seconds?” added GionF47.

Overpowered Serena & Underpowered Tormentor

Some players claim that the problem is actually Serena since there are issues with her as well (ie, she being way overpowered, even after the devs stated they are looking for a rebalance). As it turns out, it is not only Serena, as folks have been posting videos of other Descendants wrecking Tormentor in a matter of seconds. 

The S2E2 update is really something, so it is a great shame that it has issues like this one. We understand that the Colossi are in development for months before the release, but wouldn’t it be easier to tweak them while in development rather than releasing a boss and then tweaking them afterward? Provided Nexon does want to rebalance the Colossi as well. Hopefully, they will at least address this issue as soon as possible.
