Plate Armor does not help and even with 175 HP and Plate armor and Alpha will 1 to 2 shot you. And even none alpha wolf or lion will kill you in about 10 hits. With a bow none alpha can be killed with that damage but if you use melee not a chance with the knock back being every hit. I think the knock backs need to have a 15 - 30 cooldown on them and Alphas need a 75% nerf to damage and movement speed. HP nerfed buy 50% . That would still make them a tough fight but let you have a chance of killing them. That would be a quick short term fix tell they rebalance the combat system.
