My top advice is to experiment with crests. Reaper has long reach and a down pogo. Wanderer is shorter but faster and also has a down pogo. The game was so much harder before I unlocked these.
My top advice is to not assume that people want advice. My secondary advice would be to be careful with the assumption that your own experience is a good model for other’s experience.
The enemies having annoying movement patterns has nothing to do with your down attack. Actually the diagonal pogo is quite good at compensating for the small flick away enemies do if you can get above them (not trivial), and this may have influenced the design of the enemies as many game mechanics encourage you to adopt the hunter crest.
