Is Byakko the easiest Primal upon relase?

[Maero]

Susano and Lakshimi were by far the easiest thus far. Shiva at the time was only hard because it was too bright and i could never see the aoe attacks on the tv i had at the time, lol

I feel like I've the opposite opinion of most on meleeing this guy as it has you planning for movement alot more than the likes of the omnidirectional Shinryu, o5 and 6 where you're sitting still for extended periods of time and start becoming "numb" for lack of a better word.
Difficulty seemed about on par with Susano/Lakshmi and I felt this was by design, with this fight designed to be less difficult than the entry savage fight, and sigma being designed to stay around delta's difficulty. Falling phase is awful and is just there to talk smack on voice over people who manage to fail it.

I had a Susano clear after 4-5 pulls. Byakko took a whopping 6-8. To me, the former was much easier.

Byakko is a total joke from a difficulty standpoint. Much like other primals in the past (Think Ifrit EX), people tend to freak out because of visuals, voice acting, newness, etc.

It is super fun tho. I will give them that.

Its also completely EZ mode as a caster. U can stand by your marker for the whole fight (except for stacking and distant clap). I had 9 Raises 2 nights ago as an RDM as our DRG (and I have been this guy before) just couldn't avoid vuln stacks.

In terms of mechanics they are not easy.
Playing it synced is a real challenge.

I called Lakshmi, "Vrill: The Fight" for a reason. You literally ignore half her mechanics. The only vaguely "hard" aspect of Susano was the timing on Assail due to it having no cast bar. Otherwise, even at min ilvl, they both roll over.

Byakko was meant to provide entry level weapons for this tier to help people catch up, that being said, his difficulty is perfectly tuned for his reward and what he's intended to be.,

[Ayer2015]

It feels like an appropriate level of difficultly for an EX primal. If you want harder stuff, try Savage or Ultimate.

Don't be jerks to a player that struggled with a fight you breezed through.

[Aomine1992]

No Bismark was wayyyyy easier lol nothing changed besides the debuffs on the senua adds lol

Lakshmi

went in blind and cleared before time ran out
