This might be a failing of the PlayStation version since I couldn't even bring up the actions guide in the menu to look at them. I just had to press whatever when it came off cooldown and guess at what it was doing (apart from the obvious ones of course. I know what a potion is)
    Thing is you don't need to know anything about Dragoon for the fight because he has 4 skills for the second part a DoT a single target skill that always heals you Stardiver another damage skill that has a seperate cd and roar(aoe). It was an easy fight not once was i in danger of dying avoid the aoes from the boss and you never drop below 80% hp. Only time i went below that was the adds and that was 70%.

    Its not a hard fight i dont see how people are struggling with it. No knowledge of DRG is needed because its 241114112114 the entire fight. And aoe when the 1 set of adds shows up. Wait for the LB queue to pop hit LB and fights over.

    I personally love these fights because its not oh hey another fight on my over tuned main character thats easier yet.

    I saw I was doing some kind of roar and had no idea what it was... then ended up dying to mechanics I didn't know or didn't see coming (like I didn't realize I could target the turrets the first time) then being sent back to fight my way through the trash all over again because the turrets exploded and instant killed me wasn't a very fun design. I probably would have been more forgiving of the idea if instead of being popped back to the beginning of the cutscenes and the trash pulls with Gaius, you just started at the boss encounter again. But really it felt like a bullshit KO and I was so frustrated I immediately swapped off of it. It made it feel like a "gotcha" moment rather than something neat or exciting.

    I have the touchpad turned off.... and wasn't aware of the other option. But even then that's still not a very intuitive method for people on the PlayStation to see what the actions do, or at least not in my case where I'm used to reading them in the actions menu.
