That is all. The Devil Dino team up is exactly what the Groot team up should be. Healing shared between the two, and the Devil Dino team up has a far higher damage reduction percent than the Groot team up.
I want to ride Groot's shoulder so bad, but with our critical hit box being larger than Mantis and characters like Phoenix/MK existing, I can't even really use that team up.
So, I went to board a ship one level higher than me that only had a single escort. Great! Combat is going well, I sink the escort and disable the hauler.
Oh what's that? Two patrols with haulers spawned right on top of you and engaged as well? Well, that sucks, but you managed to deal with those as well. Now you have 4 disabled haulers to loot. Fantastic!
Oh, you made one mistake in boarding combat and got stunlocked & killed? Too bad! All the work you put in disabling all those haulers is lost. They despawn because you are playing solo and there is nobody in the region to keep them loaded.
Please stop punishing me for playing solo. I put in all that work, at least give me some time to return and finish the ships I already disabled. Right now boarding combat is awful for solo play since any mistake can result in you getting stunlocked due to the shear number of enemies who hit wide sweeping attacks and can hit through your crewmates.
