Lox are overpowered now.

With the H&H update, lox got a dramatic increase to their movement speed and attack speed on their animations. They are pretty much arrow spunges and since the bow costs alot of stamina you would obv prefer to kill them with your melee weapons. Doing that can work but if you misstime one block they will just pop you instantly.

Honestly, the movement and attack speed buffs are fine but in return their damage needs to be cut in half for sure. They hit me for about 70-90 damage in padded armor, it's kind of absurd.

Not that blocking is always an option either since golems, berserkers and lox hit so hard that you run the risk of getting staggered anyway. Not to mention one or two star berserkers, don't even try to block that.

Didn't stop me from killing them with poison arrows fairly easily yesterday.

they should not one shot you with full armor upgrades and well fed. Its not fun to get hit, but you should be able to take ONE hit from anything in the plains with full gear and food.

Had a very similar experience, with maxed out armor + shield and with worse food (total 130 hp) i let the lox hit me twice (one aoe + one normal) - after that i had 65 hp left, then i rolled a couple of times till i got to 80 something hp (for safe measure) and had absolutely np blocking + stunning him a couple of times to finish him off...

Did they really buff lox or are ppl complaining because of the new block system?
His AI seems to be dumber actually, he was running around aimlessly quite for long at first, i could've killed him with the bow or even atgeir meanwhile.

PS: the only problem with lox is that the tamed ones need 10-15 mins of real life time to regenerate max stamina from 0 (going to sleep ingame does not shorten it, sadly).

Tame them, breed them and you'll have an impenetrable perimeter defence for your base.

I agree, they're tough to kill. I try to avoid them, but I'm fine with that. Make you wary of them and their position if you have to engage some enemies nearby.

Use wooden arrows to kill the Lox, they will be dead before they even get to you. The update to food has made no difference at all with using bows, you can still rapid fire a bow.

Build a stone tower, tame the lox, make babies.. kill the lox with butchers knife. Don't even bother trying to kill wild ones..

It's like the Golems.. there's literally no point killing them unless you're farming crystal. Dig a hole, lead them in. Leave them there.
