IS Kotya bugged?

[Haida]

Every time i play a full HP build, this Kotya NPC simply oneshots me out of nowhere. It doesnt even have that much nor a special ability. Igot oneshotte din floor 14 with 20k hp.
Nothing could hurt except Kotya.
I noticed that when i got some armor via convert shop item, the oneshot wont happen.
Pls tell me this is a bug.

You are running into the same issue I did at the start. You are likely using the flesh set right? It boosts your damage really high, higher than your own hp, and as explained above he reflects your own damage back at you using his parry stacks. You will want to ensure you either invest in more hp than damage, or as you found some armor. I'm pretty sure the hunter set will also save you, since it lets you attacks through dodges which I think combat insight counts as.

2 things to that:
- In which world is parry full on dmg reflect?
- then I had like 400 dmg and 20k hp with like 4 hits? Thats not a oneshot even with full on reflect. You also have like 500% life leech with the flesh set. No debuffs. Still oneshot

Well they already changed him so lets nee how it goes now xD

kotya uses combat insight stacks.
with 5 or more stack he parries you, sending your dmg back to you.
so yes he can 1 shot people. :D

he starts with 4 stacks and gets 1 per turn.
so kill him first if your dmg is higher than your health+armor
or you're not immortal :D (yes that's a thing)

OBJECTION!

Kotja has 'Repulse':
Repulse: 'Parry on the first turn'
Parry: 'Return the damage and status effects to the attacker'
So whatever you do LEAVE HIM BE on the FIRST TURN!

When using Demonic set items which provide the ability to attack all enemies, you do not get to select which enemy the attack begins with. It always starts with the first enemy on the left. If this enemy is Kotya, there is no way to select the enemy in the middle or right instead. The Demonic set ability forces the attack to start on the left.

this is a recent change, yes, and i think he is a very poorly designed enemy. i understand they need a counter for demon set bonus but i lost a run to him where no matter what, i WOULD lose. simply because both enemies beside him were number one priority to kill, and leaving one alive meant death. but i was forced to because of him. was super into this game but now im really not motivated to try to get to 60+ just because i have the chance of getting that combo again.

I cannot express how much I hate this enemy but not for the reasons stated here. The last four runs I have had, right when I was gaining momentum...I faced a 6 stack of Kotya which forces you to skip a turn and end up losing with just one of them left. If there was a maximum of one or two in a party of this mob I would be fine, but a 6 stack is just horrid.

[vClint]

Best way to deal with 6 koyta using vampiric/demonic? I used one piece of turtle but they still one shot me on the next attack

[Largon Levey]

i was having 6 from him there i cant attack other all was only him also how can i kill him then the first hit was him grml

Yep. This is how I lost my best run

I got around it by keeping a separate set (golden), removing all the demonic items and focusing the other most hard hitting enemy. When it's 3x Kotya, he doesn't actually hit that hard, so skip the first turn. If you need to, find some good items to lock and convert them all for extra defence.

If I want to continue to use my Demonic Set, I equip a pieace of the Turtle set to be immune to all damages on first round. Usually this is enough for the Kotya.
However, I have been in situations where I have been paried after the first round (or my understanding on "rounds" is flawed) :
AoE Demonic on the 3 first monsters, they all die.
Second wave of monsters (behind the first ones) contains a Kotya.
Aoe Demonic on the remaining monsters, Parry from Kotya, Die.
It was not the first round for me. But it was for the Kotya ? So it can parry on *its* first round ? Or only on mine ? =/

[CluelessWonder8]

Kotya parries on its 1st round.

If you're killing everything with enough dmg/hits to kill through the back row, too, then Kotyas in the back row are safe, because they have an hourglass while waiting (they're "before" their 1st round).

I have, once or twice, with Riel (mimic ability) used the enemy's Drop of Chaos skill (random debuff) to put hourglasses on the entire current front row. I'm not sure how that interacts with 1st round skills, if it otherwise would've been their 1st round.

(Lately, the updates have been frequent enough, I don't know how long this explanation will be valid.)

such an annoying way to kill the player, you feel you died because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and not because your build or choices, reflect is bad in every game, you get punished for getting stronger, makes no sense
