Root Abyss Boss Mechanics

adding to ultima's post, i can't spam dark impale either, the delay's so slow that if he starts the GP when i use DI, i'm dying 100%.

Yeah, any attacks with a delay leaves you at a massive disadvantage. once I use Finishing Blow on my Battle Mage (which is my main spamming attack) you can't move until the animation is complete. Attacking only really works while standing rooted to the spot, which makes fighting Von Bon especially awkward. If you attack you might not react fast enough to avoid it, but if you don't attack then you aren't helping.

Also that frigging tornado stage that Von Bon does is just... so annoying. he's worse than Vellum in the sense that you can only really do damage to him in short bursts. (Which is where OP characters like Kaiser and Angelic Buster are even more obviously OP)
