Bleed Damage

I have been on hiatus from the game since 0.7.8. Since returning, I have found Arena nearly impossible to progress in due to the Archyrean NPC and its bleed stacking mechanic. My Forge Master has 75% in all resistances, including Physical. He has 59% blocking, 100% crit avoidance, 45% armor and a host of other defensive buffs that come from potion use or health on blocking.

Yet, when I cross paths with a pack of Archyreans at wave 75+ there’s literally nothing that can be done to survive. Is there some new defense or cleansing mechanic I’m missing or is this just Arena being overtuned again?

Dont recall anything about Bleed specifically being boosted but I am not an Arena runner myself. You may want to put up your build (screenshots) etc so that the master builders who read this can give you some tips or suggestion.

It’s not build related. Every other damage type is manageable with proper movement and defenses. The Archyrean bleed stack stands alone and I wasn’t sure if this was working as intended or not.
