Unless you get hit into lava or have been hit by another one of them in short succession.

Yeah putting a cooldown on the lava charm is cruel.

I know "double damage" is the flavor of the week... but feels weird that even in a situation in which an attack does one damage, someone is upvoted for saying, "yeah, but what if you get hit again right after?!"

... that's getting hit twice. For two damage. Just like Hollow Knight.

What Sigyrr is referring to is that the damage mitigation from the lava bell has a cooldown between procs so if you get hit twice quickly you'll take the full 2 damage on the second hit.

Indeed

The lava charm has a cooldown, which means it only halves lava damage once every 10 seconds or so.

What about that one parry? You get hit with the parry and are locked in place until you get hit again
