I can't stand this. I played battlefleet gothic (story mode) recently and fighting Abaddon was annoying as fuck. I'm good at the game so I'd set up my attack and basically melt his ship's entire shield and armour down to like 0.000001% and then lol cutscene. I just wanted to see that scummy fuck blow up. I sent him packing by fucking ramming him in the final mission.

this is like in wrestling whenever hulk hogan would be put in a sleeper hold for like 5 minutes straight, then suddenly get pumped up and have superhuman strength.

then you see the video of hulk hogan putting a tv show host in a sleeper hold for just a few seconds, and he's barely conscious, falls, and hits his head.

You can attack her arms. Once you do enough damage, they'll shrink back to normal. Do that to both hands and her crown will fall off temporarily allowing you to damage her.

Of course if you've already got the advanced version of splash bros you can just use that and make the fight a joke as well.
