Hello. I started explore 12 today and the enemies just hit right through my barriers. I play on Switch and it makes high difficulty contents unplayable coz barrier simply doesn’t work. I paid a lot of money in the game and I hope that the bug will be fix because right now it’s impossible for me. Thank you. ---

there is currently a bug where enemy deals double skull damage, or skull damage twice that will be looked into next week. ---

Thanks for quick reply Eika! I am fairly new to the game and it’s been such a great experience so far. I will take a break and wait for the skull damage bug to be fixed. ---

Gnome band is on Switch already. It’s a great event. ---

Try reducing the speed multiplier from x4 to x3 This has worked for some people, but it does seem to be dependent on the device you use. ---

Barrier works at 2x speed on switch but the game feels like slow motion at that speed… Hopefully the bug will be fixed soon. ---

It will still happens on 3x, more rare but still possible at 2x. Barrier is useless, use Entangled. Archer class can be helpful but in the end avoid any hard battle.
