So, I have a new least favourite level. It's 12.2
I'm playing on hard. I have about 7.7k HP, about 930 attack and defense. I can kick the living snot out of any enemy I find. But Carla is dead in virtually four hits of anything. Desk stomps take her down by over half her health, it seems. She's too stupid to jump fire. If I stay close to her, I risk spraying her to death with the yo-yo, water plane launcher or some other weapon because she has a nasty habit of getting in front of me...oh and also, she takes damage every time I jump fireballs. If I stay far away, she'll hold her own for awhile, then I'll take twenty seconds to clear an area and the next thing I know she's at 5% health, and I get back in time to hear her die.
Given that this level is random (i.e., the same enemies don't appear in the same place at the same time), I feel like pulling my hair out. is there any way at all for me to make Carla stronger? Is there any way to get her to avoid stuff more? Cats don't work either, I've tried.
I mean, okay, I have always hated this level, even from my first playthrough, but it's getting rapidly too hard to handle. And all the HP, atk and def in the world won't help me much when it's Carla who's dying so fast.
If you folks have any foolproof strats to do this level well, please do let me know, because I'm getting pretty sick and tired of doing it over and over again.
Incidentally, even slimes now do enormous damage to me. I thought 920 atk/def would be enough, but apparently I can be splatted for over 2k damage now. Scary stuff. Looks like maybe I will have to go back and grind on "difficult", maybe. If so, though, that's going to be very, very disappointing.
