Video game style, ofc. Riggs fight is in three parts, spaced out beginning/middle/end of story. Saro, Riggs, and The Worldeater.
You fight saro, the “powerful sorcerer”. it sucks. He’s good at magic, he’s pretty fast, but retry sturdy. He summons low level shadow monsters to fight alongside him. It’s mostly annoying. When beat he melts into black goo, laughing. He recorporates as Riggs in a later scene
Riggs is a glass canon. He’s hard to hit, being small/fast/incredibly magic, but he’s frail. Every attack he makes is devastating. But he spends a fair portion of the battle fuckin with you and not actually attacking you. He’s mad he lost once but doesn’t see you as a threat yet
The Worldeater is gloves off time. You’re fighting the herald of entropy, a world destroying space god. You have to chip away the armored carapace for an attack opening before you can deal damage, and it will grow back. But if you can hit in that time it’s good damage
Fighting the Worldeater is just bad because if things start to really go south, he’ll just destroy everything in the vicinity. the boss fight gets exponentially harder as his hp drains. If he goes down so will everything else around him
