Longshot question

Don’t have him but three times now fighting him I’ve been instant killed by his S2 and I swear I dexed it properly. No incinerate on me and my health bar doesn’t drain fast like normal when I botch the S2 and get hit…but I’m just instantly dead. Didn’t see anything in his write up to indicate this but someone who uses him perhaps could enlighten me? Cheers

Also no nodes. Just arena fights

When pure of heart is active incinerate is placed upon activation

Magrailothos

If he's got Pure of Heart active, then his Fate Seal activates when he throws the Special: he doesn't have to hit you.

At this point, any Bad Karma will be turned to Incinerate; as will your Precision buff if you try to Dex it. So that's where the damage comes from. The incinerates only last 1 seconds, so you might have missed them.

Your best strategy is to regularly parry/stun or inflict debuffs, to prevent him getting Pure of Heart. And if you aren't immune to Incinerate, I'd recommended baiting his SP1: it's a lot safer!

Ah gotcha. Didn’t realize pure of heart/fate seal had that type of effect but makes sense. Normally I try and bait his S1 but I know I have dexed his S2 in the past so just wasn’t sure what I was missing. Thx for the info 👍
