I started raiding in Eden’s Verse so I don’t have a ton of experience compared to others. I will say I think as a single tier Anabaseios is the one I’ve enjoyed the most. 11 is a bit lame and I’m still not a huge fan of body checks, but I absolutely loved 9/10/12. Abyssos was alright, I loved 5 and 8. Asphodelos was kinda meh overall. What did you all think about it?

    I didn’t play Abyssos but I have played Asphodelos and Anabaseios. I’m enjoying Anabaseios overall. I felt that 9 and 10 both had a weird distribution of difficulty in their mechanics. Levinstrike and Harrowing Hell both feel like mechs I’d expect in a 3rd floor, not 1st or 2nd. 11 would be better imo if it had less rng. I like the theme and aesthetic, but 11 minutes of coin flips isn’t really exciting to me, especially in a fight that is essentially e11s 2: electric boogaloo. Personally I’m still working through 12, so I can’t comment too much there. Excellent boss design at least.

    Asphodelos would’ve been a lot better without Phoinix. That bird can go die in a hole. 1 felt like a typical 1st floor. Easier than e1s was for sure. 2 was a lot of fun, since I enjoy arena manipulation. 4 was interesting, since I started raiding in Eden’s Gate, it was only the 2nd door boss I’d seen and the first to be a continuation of the first phase instead of an entirely new boss like promise & oracle. It felt true to its theme and knew what it wanted to be, unlike 9 and 10.

      I’m of the opposite opinion when it comes to P3S. I think P3S is the best designed fight of the whole tier, and actually probably still a top tier fight across the whole expansion.
