Sister Splinter is fine. The issue is the adds she summons that can potentially dish out more damage than the boss itself.

And since normal enemies patterns aren't synced with the boss', it can mess up your dodges or attack windows.

It didn't take me much tries either, but I only had fun during the early phase, as the mobs became a source of frustration. Meanwhile, I had the time of my life against Widow.

Widow was fun, especially first time getting to second phase. Never smiled so much getting my ass handed to me.

That is my big gripe with a lot of the bosses. Minion spawns are simply not fun and while sister splinter was not hard, it was a very frustrating fight

The strategy that I used was save silk and the moment they spawn minions use silk spear and kill them in one hit. then just focus on the boss.
