How to defeat mech. men & golems

[HotNifeThruButr]

I guess a few lance in the chest would do the trick against golems, but not mech men, since it makes a ton of overkill on them. I'd also try high strength monsters and summons, especially the Celestial Soldier or Demon of Heavenly Rivers if you're Tien Chi.

It's been my experience that crossbows are lacking in the ability to kill the most protected of enemies. They miss a lot, fire slowly, and even halving a guy with 20+ armor would still leave him with around 10.
