>Is this normal too?
Of course it is, because you foolishly and mindlessly grinded for stats instead of techs, you sparked nothing good at all and now you have trouble doing so due to being so stat inflated you get no bonuses, and you probably use the wrong formation for damage purposes to begin with.
Not like it matters much either since you can just slap quicktime on anyone and steamroll the destroyer all the same, but that's what happens when you listen to the people who tell you to grind, and I guess due to the recent problem of people telling you it's okay to grind but not explaining HOW TO DO SO in the first place, which often makes people end up with this kind of situation.

Either way you're more than enough bloated in stats to make it through the boss and you're being overly paranoid for no reason at all, just save before getting into Gen Castle and try to fight the destroyer and see how it goes, I doubt you'll have problems at those HP levels, and if you did get there in the first place and can get to the abyss it would be pretty embarassing to lose to the final boss, unless of course you fight him at full power.

Because casual mouthbreathers in this shithole absolutely love to talk about games they never played and also make wide generalizations about genres they do not know, and then desperately pretend that people who actually know their shit and expose them are in the wrong.
This is a problem made exponentially worse by the fact that most people in /vr/ specifically are just low standard casuals with their nostalgia goggles firmly glued onto their skulls and with no actual interest in retro stuff other than "talking about the good days".
And they pretend their opinion must be taken seriously despite being not even an opinion, just straight up wrong misconception and misinformation, that is kept alive by virtue of being generations old nonsense parroted ad libitum in a media made up for an impressionable audience that also never goes beyond that.

Look at this place and you'll see the same four or five threads, with the same exact posts on repeat since years, all of the good threads about people actually branching out and talking about lesser known subjects like the PC88-98 threads or JP only games have died out, discussion about pre 3rd gen games is dead and so on, this board has become just looped background noise with the occasional decent thread that isn't people parroting 30 year old nonsense, the only thing that breaks the droning monotony is the seasonal chronic shitposting, like the recent SHMUP vs JRPG trend.

Honestly, doesn't fell much different from unmodded zdoom.
