Unreasonably Difficult Enemies?

[Moonface]

We have an Unreasonably Difficult Bosses? thread, so why not also have one for enemies instead because I'm sure we've all encountered at least one that feels ridiculous in some way.


To give one that always feels this way to me, there's a regular enemy encounter in Slay the Spire 2 in Act 3 called the Fabricator that to me feels like it could easily qualify as an Elite fight instead. This enemy can summon up to four minions, each with 19-24 HP and either attack, give block to the main enemy, or put status cards into your deck. The main enemy has 150 HP so you aren't going to kill him before he summons help, and once he does it means you're unlikely to attack anything without taking damage from a lack of block because you'll be taking a total of 48 attack damage unless you kill one of the two attacking minions, which will probably just be summoned back after the next turn. The fight only ends by killing the Fabricator itself, but if you focus on him his minions will give you trouble and one of them provides him with block that means your attacks are less effective, and if you focus on the minions he'll just replace the one or two you kill. I've gone into this fight so many times with full HP and had my arse absolutely mauled even with a decent deck. There was a fight in Slay the Spire 1 that was similar to this except that was actually an Elite fight so you expect to be in for a tough fight. x.x
