I feel so bad
What I did was I just did my toontasks, and didn't care about defeating the bosses. Now, I have 110 laff, and can handle the bosses. I can't remember the last time I died! The point is, if you are 96 laff or less, you can die in one round. If you are 97 laff or over, you could most likely handle a boss.
