If you dare do that, be ready for people "correcting" you on a good day or downright question your playing abilities on a bad one.

Garuda specifically is two tiers above any other boss in the game bar IfEx, first phase (specially if skipping phase two) is a somewhat heavy gear check, second phase is so annoying that most LS strategies revolve around skipping it and clones require reasonably good tanking, positioning and plain HP burning skills to defeat.

It's not ball crushingly, "gotta try 100+ times to win" hard, and once you get the hang of it can be farmed without too much problem, but still is quite decently hard imo.

And before anyone checks to "discredit" my opnion, yes, I haven't beat her yet, it's on my plans. Tried very few times since I don't really have time to join my LS runs, sadly.

It's a gear/howmanskillsyoucanmashinto7minutes check. Unfortunately, a number of players can't keep up with that. The fight isn't impossible with AF. It just takes longer, and the longer the fight is, the more chances there are to make mistakes, making it harder to win. IMO, it is one of my favorite fights in the game, and I hope they don't change it because there is nothing wrong it as is.

However, when someone does come in and shit all over people who say it is difficult, I can imagine it is disheartening to be told "you suck lolol"
