Those can make a huge difference during combat. Have you been finding, completing, and upgrading all the runes? I ground my way through the “shorter” upgrades (I’d find an easy way to get a few steps through the upgrade count shortly after a checkpoint, and just repeat that until it was full since rune progress is saved outside of the scope of the checkpoint). The ability to get locked out of an area with no warning and no ability to go back and explore (other than completing the map and starting it over entirely) is also vexing. I, for example, do not care for their checkpoint system at all.
