guess im getting old i struggle pretty hard with this game im at the 7th or 8th boss (the fengs) and they wipe the floor with me great game nonetheless
so u dont lose life if u r at tech. 0 hp and dont perfect parry or am i misunderstanding.didnt know that temporary hp loss doesnt kill but makes sense.
Yes, the temporary dmg due to imperfect parry wont kill you. But once you get hit, all the temporary dmg will convert to direct damage. Perfect parry is important but the penalty for imperfect parry is very forgiving.
Additional to that, except the first 3 bosses, I run Qi Swipe and Last Stand jade for all the other bosses. Qi Swipe dealing internal dmg to self and activate Last Stand when low hp. They synergy very well.
For the first 3 bosses, I equip whatever available because nothing really help on doing dmg at that point. For other bosses: - Jie Quan: Qi Swipe, Last Stand, Swift Blade - Lady Ethereal: Qi Swipe, Last Stand, Swift Blade - Ji: Qi Swipe, Last Stand, Swift Blade, Hedgehog - The Fengs: Qi Swipe, Last Stand, Swift Blade, Hedgehog - Ei Gong: Qi Swipe, Last Stand, Hedgehog, Divine Hand
