Black rabbit brotherhood part 2

[Rena Ichigawa]

Are these three SUPPOSE to be able to just... run up to you, kick you once, and you're just... dead? My vitality is at 40 and I have the Arch Extra Heavyweight frame, and i go from full health to just... instantly dead... That can't be right, right? Is this a glitch, or something?

[HypetheKomodo]

Generally speaking if you keep your distance one of them will say something and charge at you while the other two harass with ranged attacks. If you dive in if all three are close enough they will gank squad you.

Can't say it's a glitch or not but if you hang back and let the one come to you, you can thin them out one at a time.

How literally are we saying instantly? Because that does sound wrong. NG or NG+?

[Dregora]

If it's your first run, so not NG+, then that's literally not possible unless armor/mods matter way more than I thought.

They absolutely tickled me and I had 33 vit or 32 vit at that point. When it was vs those three I could just facetank them most of the time. So yeah that shouldn't be possible unless you're on NG+ or something.

Was literally full health, tall boy with the spear ran up to me, kicked me, and i got launched into the air. Health dropped from full to 0 in that singular attack. Same with the younger siblings uppercut doing the same thing. Just full to dead in 1 tap.

Can you give us a bit more information? Was this your first run? Was this NG+?

Because that sounds super odd. I've never had that happen myself and I beat that fight yesterday.


Edit: Just checked my own vitality, I lied, it was barely at 25 at that point. So you're either on NG+ or something is seriously wrong

Was first run. Even have that super heavy frame with the 38% damage reduction. Im pretty sure at this point it was just some weird glitc going on with the youngest sibling, and the tall one with the spear, because sword boy never had that issue.

None of the siblings do disruption, right? Spear guy uses electricity, sister uses acid, and brother uses fire. None of those should be insta-kills.

Did you kill any siblings when this happened? was there perhaps... a blue wave or something that knocked you in the air?

Nope. One of the times was literally me stepping into the boss room. Youngest sibling did her spinny knife uppercut attack, and was just dead on the spot. This was a pretty consiatent issue, so i had to cheese the spear, and dagger siblings with throwables.

You have to be faster player. Don't stare into enemies and think about your next move. Certainly the way you described your encounter reflect that you are used to Elden Ring/Dark Souls play. You can't wait in this game or in Sekiro. Play fast. Be aggressive. Any moment you stop attacking is open window for enemies and Black Rabbit Brotherhood perfectly teaches you that.
When you enter the room you are supposed to rush at the rabbit who is buffing; either backstab him or do charge attack.
This is no hesitation game, perfectly carrying the legacy of Sekiro. Learn and play again.

Considering I went through my entire NG playthrough with Vitality at only 20, no, it is not normal for them to one-shot you. Something weird definitely happened there. I can't think of anything that did one shot me even at 20 vitality.

[Scraps]

Definitely not normal. Did this fight with 8 VIT (Path of Bastard base stat) and haven't come across this. Then again, I played as defensively as possible, ala DS2's Graverobber boss as a reference point, so I made it a point for them to not gang up on me. Most likely to insta-kill me was the... We'll say second phase.

Curious if it's hitbox shenanigans like how Elden Ring dogs 1 tapped you because there's a glitch that essentially gave them 11k dps.

[Vulture]

You're fighting 3 on 1.
If you aren't dragging a summon into the fray, utilize the mechanics of the fight.

The brotherhood fights you 3 on 1 in a "bull in the ring" setup. Two of the brothers will hang back while one fights. The one that buffs their weapon will rush you and be the active combatant. The other two brothers will be passive combatants. If you get within the two brother's threat range, they will do a token attack. The two passive brothers have token ranged attacks that do chip damage basically. They really don't do a lot of damage.

[Gay Frog]

Getting one shot is definitely not normal, each of them do pretty moderate damage individually

[RikkuuC]

I had exactly the same. The Upswing or Upkick attacks were all one hit in the second fight against the BLACK RABBIT BROTHERHOOD. After dying for like 1 hour i restarted and then it fixed itself and the attacks were actually normal again without these attacks beeing one shot

[Deathwing1306]

They literally do close to none damage lol
