Deflecting tear

[𝑀𝓊𝑔𝑒𝓃]

I wish it was a talisman and permanent , it evens the odds with aggressive bosses

I'd like it as a talisman too, but it lasts 5 whole minutes, which should always be enough to kill a boss.

I want to deflect the whole world lol and 5 mins is just not enough :P

by bosses even with perfect deflect when they break your poise

you will get poise damage even with perefct deflect
if you plan to just deflect every attack till the boss ends his combo and then use guard counter once he is finished that does not really work all that much.

Sometimes it works but a lot of the time you will get poise broken and thrown over

It seems to not be quite the same as a legit poisebreak, though.
It's kinda like blocking a _huge_ attack with a shield but not having your stamina emptied - you will be animation locked, but it's a different animation and sound effect.
swear to god, unlike with a poise break there rarely to never seems to be a follow up by the boss that punishes you for it and more like a second of 'sick parry, bro!' before the boss continues (kinda like in sekiro and getting knockback even though it was a perfect parry against a very strong attack)

There's a mod which makes the deflect tear a permanent effect
