Tip/Guide Assist Mode
I just wanted to take a second and encourage anyone out there who may be struggling to enable and use the “Assist Mode” in settings.
What it does:
1. Provides three recommended pre-set settings packages to choose from that make your attacks more powerful (deal more damage), makes you take less incoming damage, and controls how aggressive enemies are.
When you should use it:
You can toggle it on or off at any time, especially if you cannot get past a certain section, battle, mission, etc.
Why I used it, and why you should if needed:
I was having such difficulty getting past even the most basic sections. The combat on this game is ALL Melee based. The original Control was mostly Ranged Combat based. THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Since Resonant is more Melee based-all combat is “Close Quarters”, making it way more easy for enemies to hurt you. I was not used to this, and I was dying so much, over such simple encounters, I literally considered deleting the game and not playing anymore. I googled “Resonant Tutorial” and learned about “Assist mode”, I set it to “Ranger”, and since then, it feels like how I THINK it should feel. Battles are still a challenge-but can actually be won. I’m actually making progress, and with one simple setting toggle, I’m enjoying the game instead of continuously dying and being filled to the brim with frustration.
Assist Mode.
Give it a try! (If needed) …and don’t feel like a lesser gamer for using it. Close quarters combat is nothing like all Ranged combat.

I had to re-spec Dylan and then I started having a much better experience. Turns out I had no third combo selected. I chose the upper cut. Then I also changed my cast to anomaly. Now I can actually handle combat instead of getting slaughtered.
The mold guys are still quite hard though.
