So I beat the game once. I dunno how difficult some route's bosses were but generally it's like IB-01 is the hardest, but by then you have so many tools. Balteus is the hardest in context because you have so little options and not enough familiarity with the game yet. I was also cosplaying a Breloom and had quad energy shotgun to simulate bullet seed with a leap type leg that makes you jump a bit on dashes. I will tell you it makes the IB-01 fight complete hell because it's easy to get hit multiple times before you can even land, but I won regardless after many tries.

But the nerfs have the community in an uproar due to the casualization of the game. Well the datamines are starting to come out and this seems to be the consensus:

Balteus' missiles have significantly worse tracking, which is good cuz that shit fucking hits me sometimes by looping around AFTER I already dashed past it, which is impossible to see cuz they're bh you

Sea Spider takes approx 1.3-1.5x dmg from various weapon types

IB-01's dmgs on certain attacks straight up got reduced by 15-25%. so despite the reports, it seems the hardest nerf was actually on IB-01 than anything else

I don't think this game was that hard overall. Some pretty hard stuff that can usually be countered with better builds, and at one point you just get so good, nothing is a threat. The last 3 Arena fights, for example, took me 4 tries total, meaning I only lost once. They're really easy once you realize you can have tank legs to dodge everything, and decent enough tracking to stun them before they can stun you.
