Feel free to quote my post just in case I missed anything and some corrections

 

Really?!

 

yes. i watched arewzo's vid and also tried it.

 

Ok ty fyi

 

Tumble also has reaction, if Mozto is below around 40/50% hp

 

Oooh right I forgot about that one thanks xD

 

Does nobody remember old bosses

Evil Crystal Beast
Purple mode
Tumble, stun = Guard
( iirc flinch too )
Red mode ( low hp )
Evade instead of guard

Nurethoth
Flinch tumble stun = Counters with AOEs

Will check if have time, cmiiw

 

For Proto & Nurethoth, [Short Combo: Hard Hit -> Shield Bash (swift)] can get through the boss reaction (assuming neither get evaded...)

 

double post

 

mozto starts screaming with a flinch effect

 

Black Knight of Delusion
Flinch tumble stun = moves away, usually out of tapping range

 

Ifrid - reacts with knockback for any interrupt (F/T/S), below 50%. If you haven't fully broken Ifrid before the half way mark... don't bother!

 

Need more bosses that become weak when inflicted with ailments. Make ailments actually useful again.
Imitacia <-- Use freeze
Zahhak <-- Use poison or stun
More bosses might have this mechanic. I am searching

 

Tyvm master

 

York
At very low HP, during full-map AOE charging
Flinch, tumble stun = Counter with full-map AOE (inflicts Sleep) then starts charging the previous AOE again

• breaking leg part greatly reduces movement speed
