OVERVIEW
This mod reduces the stamina recovery rate of human bosses (20% by default). This affects the bosses Blade Phantom, Rangkus, Maluca, Elamein, Bellerian, Ilyna, and Ozma (phase 1). Repeats/variations of these encounters (Keshta, Bringkus, etc) are also affected.
To compensate for this change, or if you just want an increased challenge, an optional module that enables stamina recovery for non-human bosses is also available. This affects the bosses Yetuga, Viper, Volbaino, Aratra, Shactuka, Trokka, Skalpel, Hismar, Reese, and Ozma (phase 2 and 3). Their recovery rate scales with their position in game/boss progression.
These two modules can be used together or separately.
Balanced around Expert (previously Normal) difficulty - mileage may vary on other settings.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
In my first playthrough of this game I felt that bosses had both too much HP and, in the case of humans (or "player-type" bosses), ridiculously overtuned stamina recovery. Like many players, I found once I adapted to how aggressive the game wanted me to play, maximizing combo damage and skill usage, the boss HP levels make much more sense - but their stamina recovery continues to feel extremely cheap, IMO. I also felt the bosses that don't regain stamina (except after exhaustion) were comparatively much easier to deal with, which seemed a bit out of balance. So, for my second run, I decided to make some tweaks.
The stamina recovery for non-human bosses module is experimental and may have its values tweaked over time based on additional testing / feedback. For the human boss module, I'd recommend the 20% (default) option, but a 35% option is also available.
