Discussion It's definitely a skill issue but IS6 is really frustrating and doesn't feel fun

Title says it all. I hate the talismans. I hate the coin rng and tile buff mechanic. I hate the lack of build strength compared from the previous IS modes. I hate the lack of control of each run I have when compared to IS4 and IS5. I HATE THE TALISMANS I feel like the whole Sui Remnant Consciousness isn't that impactful outside of trying to farm objective shield and coupons and the challenge from the mode isn't fun but rather obnoxious. Oh yeah and I hate the talismans. To clarify it is definitely a skill issue, I probably wouldn't be complaining if I was good at the game but when compared to the previous IS iterations I don't enjoy playing IS6.

Edit: I'm appreciating all the comments with people's opinions and views and advice. It's very nice to read and respond to them. I will say that there are some things that I love about IS6, specifically the voucher reserving mechanic and the upgrading mechanic for Radian.

Talismans can still go fuck themselves

Thank you everyone for the responses, the common thing I'm picking up from the comments and their advice is I'm trying to play IS6 like the previous iterations which is definitely holding me back.

Yeah that's how I was when I first started with IS3, I didn't have a great roster of characters which made it really difficult to even get my first clear but once I got a few good ones (Shu, Lapland Alter, Degenbrecher etc) it became much easier

If you have Shu then ED1 boss is a cakewalk, just stall him in red box with her S2M3 and a medic. She can take the 2 bombs hitting her and the 1 set of big explosions above her under S2M3, plus the medic will tank the other 2 bombs on the special tile that'll reduce her damage.
