No. I wish there was a way to make them “fair” when playing alone.. but for right now- they’re clearly designed with the intention you have other players to help you fight them. 

It feels like brightshades are intended to be unfair, similar to how Wardens in Minecraft is called "natural forces". I really hope the game wont go down that path.

I mean, I really don’t have much problem with them to be honest (aside from large groups when playing Alone, extremely high frequency of Respawning, and of course my biggest Issue- My character being to Dumb to Auto Target the Stunned Plant and instead walks right past it to attack the non-stunned ones )

But just to show I’m not just talking about stuff I haven’t experienced- here is TWO clips of me fighting them with a Brightshade Hammer.

 

 

 

Why am I fighting Brightshades with a Brightshade Hammer when I very clearly have the Superior Sword in my inventory you ask? Simple! Brightshade Hammers Deal 42 Damage, They’re also Brightshade Gear so they IGNORE the plants Planar Defense, they can be used to Hammer, Mine, and as you see in the video- Attack Stuff with. But the most important reason is that they only cost 1 Pure Brilliance to Craft.

Which Means… I can save my pure Brilliance to craft more Important things with later such as Swords, Staffs, Helms or Armor.

Hey, they aren't nearly as unfair as the Warden. Even if you think so, at least it didn't take 3 years for Brightshades to come out and were made worse in the beta.

The difference is that you're not supposed to fight Wardens at all. They're very specifically a punishment for failing to be stealthy enough around the deep dark.

Meanwhile, Deadly Brightshades are something that'll roll up to your farm and make it everyone else's problem.
