I'm weighing in both as the outsider looking in with only a single post, but also as someone who has known lantern for years. Hell, I remember congratulating him on his son being born.

Kid, I completely understand your wanting to keep the action intense and the pressure on, we appreciate that. You can either have a few strong opponents or lots of weak ones. Let us take them out a wave at a time, let our stupid plans work once but not over and over. If we have waves of hard opponents, our characters are not good enough yet to handle it, ESPECIALLY with a Talon as well. Let our actions have meaning to take them out by the dozens and simply have more take their place. You are acting to our actions, not reacting to our actions. it seems inane, but its like the video game where you can not see the enemy health bar or any damage above their head, we as players have no way to gauge if we are being effective or not. Yes, you gave us a huge hint in turning up the noise to disorient them, then they should be acting disoriented. 

Just me and only me, I'd day freeze them all who are covered in water and shatter them with the sonic scream.
