After the Update 2.0 i expected Adam Smasher boss fight improvement but it’s still kinda same..(They just added more health bar) I think Edgerunner version will always stay the superior one.

Should’ve been many mid fight cut scenes showing struggle and combat like in that one fight with the giant robot in PL
something something main story, adam smasher “get off my damn lawn”
That’s because compared to Smasher, David and his crew were nobodies. David had an above average Cyberware tolerance, and by the time David got on the level of Smasher via the skeleton, he was too far gone. V is the modern day Smasher, with an insane skill set, resilience, and Cyberware tolerance to boot.
If u are a netrunner, u can literally melt him like a chocolate.
The fact that u grown so strong but he stay the same was too shame
Kurt Hansen makes Smasher look like a teddy bear.
There was a mod out called Enemies of NC that gave Smasher a Sandi, and he was actually faster than the player if they activated Sandivestan.
Also he had much thicker Ice and Armor, as well as Health regeneration.
I mean, you’re welcome to just stand there and let him flatline you then leave.
I literally cannot complete this fight without the game glitching out and closing. I had to giveup the game entirely!
I remember beating smasher is 1.0. He was hard on normal. I was lvl 40 ish. Played him just recently on normal(I like story over combat) and at lvl 51, I LOLd punching him in the face. They made him WAYYY easier in 2.0 imo
It’s obviously a weak boss fight but we also got to keep in mind that V is a god compared to David and probably is the best Merc night city has ever seen. Ya Suck on it Morgan Blackhand.
Should have pulled out the dragoon body as a second phase or something
“Edge runners version” Am I the only one who finds this statement dumb? There is no edge runners version of Adam Smasher. ER was not a game. It wasn’t a boss fight. Hell if you want to compare, the Arasaka Tower attack version is right there. Also Adam is an end level boss in a game with 25 different ways to kill an enemy. It is never going to be good. They can add unique attacks and all the other stuff but if you have a busted build you are going to destroy him every time.
Yeah the Devs were just lazy on that one.
Smasher along other Bosses should’ve got a full rework treatment. All bosses should be in Real time when you quickhack instead of being magically frozen in time while you can One shot them.
* Smasher should’ve got Sandevistan, breaking yours when you use it.
* A melee counter to Berserk
* Additionnal ICE
* Self-ICE cyberware cancelling your Quickhacks every x seconds
* Grab attacks
* Ability for him to heal himself at fixed points in the fight
* WAY WAY more moves, tactics and specific phases with cinematics, arena changes etc basically, a real boss fight, not a shitty mid-boss arena.
* A damage cap on how much he can take in a set time interval with invulnerability in between
* Why not QTE’s that uses your companion if you have one, yourself if you don’t.
Same for all story bosses.
Eh 🤷♂️
My honest opinion is that while Smasher’s depiction in Edgerunners is really cool (and more accurate to the character power-wise than CP77), it only hits as hard as it does if you’ve played the game before watching the show. Otherwise I feel like it would be pretty unsatisfying for a new character to come out of nowhere and kill all the heroes with little to no explanation
>Proceeds to die to a schizophrenic a year later
Smasher had ICE and a Sandy in the anime, bring that back.
People forget and does not noticed Alt in the background suppressing Smasher. Noticed how once Alt goes silent when Smasher enters the scene? Alt was disabling security left and right once she was plugged in Arasaka server.
V is just built different sorry
When you grind the whole game to max level and still can’t win , skill issue!
My gunslinger Solo Stealth V had trouble with Smasher.
I was doing the Don’t Fear the Reaper ending and i almost died multiple times. I was at 2 digit hp more than 5 times.
Smasher did give me some trouble. Not a *lot*, because I’d specced into swords with the Apogee Sandevistan, but the bastard turns invincible from time to time and still does quite a bit of damage.
The Relic slowly reducing my max health did *not* help.
It’s not that Smasher is easy. It’s just that V is a monster.
Think about it a person air dashing on roads just goes on a kill rampage on all nearby gangoons just cause they felt like it, incapacitating 17 cyberpsychos and so much more feats like this.
Smasher is not easy V is just too hard for Smasher.
