Is there some mechanical i am missing or is there a known bug, as while fighting the golem I noticed my smash guage was not filling up anymore.

Hey all, this is less of a complaint and more of a knowledge question. I just started playing this game a day or so ago and was really enjoying it and the grind up to the first chapter's main boss, the clay golem. However, it seems I was vastly underleveled/geared (stats and such) that I was barely making a dent.

So I set out to train and was able to level my weapons to lvl 20 and some of my gear to 10, and when I went back it still seemed like I wasnt making a big dent, though I did get a little further this time.

I guess my main question is, is the game just this extremely grindy or am I doing something wrong? The chapters leading up to the golem were all fairly simple, with one alpha making me check my levels a tiny bit, but then the Golem really seems out of place compared to the rest of them in terms of tankiness.

Game is fun so I'll probably stick around still for a little bit, but I assume the main course of action is to just grid training and level up gear until better?
