Can someone explain to me when the thing has 15 rock stacks and then uses a sp1 he only loses 3 rock stacks instead of all of them?

    Did you get hit or bleed just before throwing it?

    Nope it has happened numerous times where he only loses 3 stacks, this was against a miniboss which made the fight harder than it had to be

    Also he didn’t have the unblockable buff on but when I was blocking he hit right through my block and gave me a combo over and over again I didn’t know what to do other than quit the fight and restart, the 2nd time it went smoothly and I got him down easy

    I have an r5 thing which I often use to quest, plus usually I'm the one who fights him as a mini boss or boss and never have seen this.

    I have fight him every war since he appeared as a defender.

    Did you read his information? He doesn't lose stacks, only when the effect would cause bleed--he'll lose 3.

    You need to get him above 15 Rock stacks to make him lose all of those. Like 16 or 17 or higher. When he uses his specials he'll go unblockable and consume all of his rock stacks. Hope that helps.

    When he's near 15 Rock stacks like 13 hit him into the block the will raise his rock stacks. Hit him thrice and he'll be at 16 stacks. Make sure he's near to use an sp1 atleast. That's the technique I use to fight him. He'll lose all those stacks then.

    No. 15 is enough.
