This is the first boss I've had a lot of trouble with since the White-Clad Noble.

I can do some things with medicines etc that will make it easier but first I would like to get a feel for how to actually fight him, and that's where I'm running into problems.

Timing dodges, that will just take practice, that's fine.

I am level 59. I'm focused on smash stance and for the moment prefer to stick with it.

My questions are:

1. Is there any way to make immobilize actually work on him? My only alternative to immobilize is ring of fire, which isn't great because I have to stand in the ring for its benefits and Non-White jumps all over the place.

2. I can see that in frost mode, every fourth attack I make he does this standard counter-attack. Is there not some way for me to exploit this? Or do I have to just stop attacking and dodge? If I'm supposed to be able to interrupt it for example with resolute strike, I haven't figured out the timing.

3. I have seen people say that it's effective to break his shield using charged heavy attacks. Is that referencing specifically the thing where you hold down triangle (PS5) to charge your heavy? I have never understood how this is a useful thing to do under any circumstances because bosses never actually give you time to charge up and for mobs it's overkill. What am I missing?

Thank you for all insight!

Usually after a match the app gives me a rating and shows me some of my weaker moves and shows what the best move would have been. For much of today however it's not doing that. It does show the relevant screen but all the numbers stay blank and the analysis button is greyed out. Are others experiencing this, meaning it's maybe a server issue, or is it just me?

EDIT: I mean round 3, not overtime.

Eichenwald. Opponent on attack reached final point with no time. My team reached final point with a minute 41 seconds left.

What I expected based on what I thought I knew from playing for years and years, is we would each get a minute added to our time for r3.

Instead no time was added and we won when we filled a third of the meter on point one.

I remember it being like this in the distant past. But not in recent memory.

Have I teleported into an alternate timeline?

101 solved, and I've stared at this one (and moved around on it haplessly without plan) for almost half an hour.

Is this one where I'm forgetting something silly or is it as hard as it feels right now?

Are there dragons (as opposed to just crystals) here for a reason? If they were crystals I still would be utterly mystified.

Is there ever any reason to ever put anything on the blue button once you remove the dragon?

For whatever reason I'm completely stuck right now on getting this last crystal into place. Have I in some way screwed myself? The best I can imagine, if so, is that somehow one of the two in the upper left don't actually have to have been placed in the water there. But it sure seemed necessary at the time.

This probably differs from project to project (or maybe not) but I am wondering about how important it is to complete tasks quickly. Like if there's a 60 minute time limit and I tend to go right up to that limit, while others tend to finish in 30, does there come a point where they just kick me off? Do I get a warning first? Have you ever been told "hey you're working too slow, speed up in the future"?

Fwiw to be clear I'm taking more time not because I do the same thing slower but because I tend to be more detailed in my work. I'm trying to figure out ways to be less like that if necessary but for now here I am lol.

I don't at all know what to do from here, and a specific type of hint I'm looking for is -- have I messed it up or is it solvable from this position? (If you are familiar with this puzzle you know what that glass stone actually is. If you don't know what I mean by that, you probably don't know the answer to my question.)

Of the three main puzzle types we get to play in the demo -- heroes, mirror, and promise -- do you find them all equally fun/delightful/etc or do you find one or more of them more tiresome or less fun than the others? Asking because I'll be honest many of the mirror puzzles give me for whatever reason no feeling of satisfaction at all, just anger that I had to figure all that out, while the others I am having a fine time with. If I had to put my finger on why it's something about how the mirror puzzles often require explicitly spatial reasoning in a way that's different than the others, which, to my mind, are more about reasoning my way via logical inferences. In the mirror puzzles, I can have all the logic right and I still have to either do a lot of fiddling or counting. Not fun for me.

What about others' experience?

The one on the bottom left, on the yellow button. Am I right that he's still standing on that button once I've got the two heroes on the escape squares in the top right?

Does this have anything to do with the solution? Am I on anything close to a right track here? Do I just have to figure out a way to get that stone one of my guys is standing on to be reflected into the water a bit more south rather than where it is? Am I supposed to have stones sunk in a line up north like that? All three? Just two maybe? Or is this all completely barking up the wrong tree?

I had spaghetti at a restaurant today. The pasta was very chewy and mushy, such that at first I thought it had a bunch of mozzarella cheese melted into it or something. Then I realized it was the pasta itself, it felt like I was chewing raw dough with a thin string of spaghetti in the center.

I ate it because it tasted fine and I don't really like sending things back as long as they're edible. I can adjust my expectations and enjoy things it's fine.

But I did mention it to the manager when he walked by. He replied that that's actually the intended texture for their house-made pasta.

I don't think I've ever had it served to me with this texture before but that doesn't make him wrong.

I've never heard of this before but is it plausible?

Like I said it wasn't like inedible. It wasn't like crazy to think of it as an enjoyable food. I have a preference for food with textural variety so having the sauce and the pasta so close in texture wasn't my favorite but I wasn't mad it went in my mouth or anything. I just want to know if this is a style, I like to learn things.

Also I was dressed like a homeless person and came in all huffy from walking and it's kind of a nicer decor place so in the back of my head is the idea they didn't want me there lol.

Your thoughts?

It was going to be fixed by 230am, then that was bumped to 930am, and now it's bumped to 1230pm, we'll see...

I'm curious whether anyone here happens to know anything about what has caused this. The Spectrum website isn't informative on that.
