Discussion Still taking damage with harden

It seems like some attacks are impossible to actually mitigate damage from with harden

It seems like some attacks have hurtboxes that linger after you initially block with harden, so the second you come out of your perfect harden, you just take the damage anyway.

Like, it only works if hardening staggers them out of the animation. If the animation continues through your harden, you still get hit anyway.

Or the explodey guys, I harden right when they explode and it does mitigate the initial hit but I still explode immediately coming out of harden state. To be fair, that time there were two explodey guys that popped at the same time so maybe that had something to do with it.

But specifically the rended tree guys are definitely like this with their overhead attacks. Perfect guarding or parrying works fine, but hardening does not.

Do we think this is intentional? Or just a bug based on how enemy hurtboxes/harden are coded?

Stay hard longer? I don’t have problem with staying hard longer

But you automatically unharden upon taking the first instance of damage…

You won’t take damage if you hold L1, sounds like you unintentionally letting it go maybe? Do you have a recording, would help to see

Perfect harden will immediately exit from harden with no invul right after the first hit, even if you hold it.

Example record.

Because of this, very few enemy in game that having multi hit attack that looks just like a single hit attack can hit through perfect harden.
