Can anyone confirm Vitality and killing blows

[Banana King]

I have low vigor: 10.

Meaning if I get touched by a boss that typically means no more health and die.

However, I am regularly left with a sliver of health and live through many killing blows.

I have 'high'ish' Arcane(25) and Vitality(350).

While vitality is defense against death status, does it also give a chance to survive killing blows?

I can only find random post claiming this. But can't find anything substantial to back it up, other than I seem to live through many killing blows, but that might be coincidence/imagination.

I had 40 through most of the game and never got one shot.

That jsut means you didn't get hit by one of the one shots, but 40 vigor won't save you from specific one shots, like astel's grab attack.

I did survive that though. Heavy armor with magic resistance does wonders. I think I've been grabbed by every boss that has a grab and never been one shot.

10 vigour like still main reason getting one shotted you have f all for HP dude

I don't care about getting one shotted to death. My strategy is to not get hit. However, when I do get hit, many times I do not die, I live with like 1 health.

i.e. My 10 vigor is intentional.

There are random claims that vitality/arcane etc.. give a chance to live through killing blows. I don't see any info to back that up. However, I do live through alot of blows that kill me sometimes, and other times not.

One thing I noticed early on, around Stormveil is actually... I think I might know what you mean, you're saying right that occasionally you are left on only a tiny sliver of health, the 'magic pixel'? Being hit by things that should kill you, but you live on just barely?

Yeah thats it. I am just curious if there is an actual mechanic for it. Or if it is just a matter of perception.

i don't think it's widely understood just yet but bosses and players survive an uncanny amount of the time with a pixel of hp remaining. needs very thorough testing which is made much more of a pain thanks to EAC

Have to wait and see I guess for the scientist.

Its probably coincidence. But it does seem to happen alot.
