First impressions of Everdark Caligo:
Pretty bad, but not anywhere near as bad as Augur
More or less in the same vein as the Pests, hard mode doesn't really feel any different from fighting the normal version. The attacks all have identical animations but slightly different particle effects and the only one that's actually any more dangerous for that is the tail swipe (in theory, in practice two people are behind her anyway so it's exactly the same). The armor doesn't seem to actually have any effect, maybe you have to break it all over for it to matter but just breaking the head armor and hitting the exposed skin didn't seem to change any behaviors.
It's maybe a mild improvement on the normal version for not doing the retarded "summon mist and hide" moves, but "unavoidable map-wide frostbite cloud" is almost equally annoying as Augur's sleeps where if your teammates go down it'll be a guaranteed wipe from attrition, there's no clutching it out with bodies on the ground. The boss still just generally sucks for flying away too much and moving its head away from you to force you to hit shitzones and the HP values are just annoying.

How does Caligo do it, /vg/? Despite her obvious flaws, she mantains a level of quality far above any other Everdark
