Most of the suggestions I see here (purposely use worse gear, give enemies more stars etc) don't really work for me. The enemies are too slow and stupid. Whether an enemy does 100 damage or 300 damage, if you multiply that by the number of times they actually land a hit, it usually calculates at zero.

I would be more inclined to suggest something that improves the enemies movement speed and attack speeds. I THINK Valheim Plus can do that but I mainly plan to wait until around 2040, when the game is a little nearer to leaving early access.
