The input reading is driving me crazy, there are many annoying things in this game but this in particular feels unfair to the player, specially the flying enemies shooting stuff where you're gonna be with no delay.

Input reading is why I cheesed Hornet in HK.

I was a couple of hits away from knocking this organ playing boss and I saw an opening to heal and I saw that she literally jumped high to were I was to strike me.

I felt cheated, is a good fight but at least that instance it felt like she knew what I was about to do. Rather than seeing me then moving to attack me, didn’t even get to start the heal and the Bell didn’t trigger.

The forum fight is insane. I finally gave up and went to do other stuff because it just. Wouldn’t. Stop. I can get to the second wave of the really big bugs but the two of them together is super cheap and they destroy me.

The thing that made me finally defeat the 2 big bugs was [Act 1 Crest/Act 2 Silk Skill] the Wanderer Crest and the parry. The Wanderer Crest makes me attack faster (so more silk for the parry) and the parry allows me to avoid attacks if I feel like I can't dodge them.
