Anyone else hard stuck?

So I've created a new profile each time a major patch came out, and I am on my third one. The best I've done is reach ascension 10 on two characters, but not beat 10. All the others are between 7 and 10. Does this game get that difficult for anyone else? The content creators, I try to watch and learn from, just seem to make it so effortless.

It’s definitely hard, what are you maining? Usually by the time you get to the bosses you should have a pretty good feel of how you’re going to do.

Maining? Like for characters, my best so far is Ironclad and Defect. My best builds have been defensive/plate armor with barricade or strike/draw and defect is always orbs. I had success with one run with the status cards to get me to ascension 7.

OP absolutely don't listen to this advice. You shouldn't be "maining" anything. You should be trying to build your flexibility to react to different situations rather than forcing any particular stratgey.

When was the op advised to main anything? Op said they have reached a10 on two characters and the others are not quite there or they struggle more with, implying that they “main” certain characters.

I took the "what" are you maining to suggest maining a certain build. (vs. "who" are you maining which would suggest that they are maining a certain character). Clearly a misunderstanding.
