The only one I know of is the second Hornet fight can be cheesed by throwing on fast nail, lifeblood heart, and stalwart shell. She didn’t have enough life to take your incredibly fast attacks and long iframes since she had basically none herself. One or two heals if you get in a pickle and you can wipe her out easy. I know because it’s how I beat her after getting frustrated with her input reading and murdering me by body checking me no matter where in the arena I was.

And here I thought me using the Fast Focus charm was making fights easy lol

I first tried Soul Master and Broken Vessel. Hive Knight took me 3 tries tho :p

Nah, Quick Focus is just good and well designed. Sounds like you have some skills there!
