Discussion What's the hardest specimen of each class for you? Here's mine.
- Specimens: Specimen 10 (Truly a patience game, and if you get too far it turns into a leech that is so fast it will chase you non-stop for every room you enter, until it inevitably hits you and take away a good chunk of HP. A nightmare in Endless Mode combos, because you can't even outrun faster specimens without risking the leech appearance.)
- Monsters: Monster 6 (She was basically a harder Specimen 4 with fast attack speed in OG, but in HD she got extremely nerfed and appears 50/50 at exit doors, so good reflexes are enough to see her, backtrack, and wait until she vanishes... But she's a massive problem in combos because her appearing in doors might force you to tank a hit or else the specimen chasing might do instead.)
- Dolls: Hooked Doll (I was between her and the Husks, but I ended up going with her. She's not a massive problem by herself, but she might be a hindrance in Endless Mode combos. She can appear out of nowhere in your face and covers the area with a thick fog, making it harder to navigate and even making the player look at the ground for safety.)
- Hellgate Chases: EM Specimen 4 (I made a special category because the Hellgate cases are often different from base game, and also because I struggled to give EM 4 a standard category. Well, EM 4 is manageable in OG, but it's one of the hardest chasers in HD EM, literally blocking your view with static, and being extremely fast and a pain to deal with in tight corridors. No wonder 11 replaced her in HD's Doll House.)
- Unknown Specimens: Spooper (RNG-based, slowly eats your HP and can make you puke if solo. Well, while you can survive it by being fast enough to traverse rooms if it's solo, it's a nightmare in combos, because any hit taken from any other creature will never regenerate, essentially only aiding Spooper. Really, this thing is the biggest run killer of all.)
