I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

              Enemies should have more moves, particularly bosses.
Enemies should use more cover.
Enemies coordinate better.

I also agree with all that. That takes more work though.

Bullet sponges are usually companies who can't be bothered, so I focused on the low cost options. But IMO you should be building for high difficulty, then simplifying by inverting the things I suggested and your removing moves/exposing themselves more, actually slowing movement speed and animations, etc, to make encounters more forgiving at lower levels.

I think even after cutting down, easier difficulties can tell the game is better crafted that way.
