Comeback kid doesn't work?

[apebit]

Hi! So I've been playing the game since launch with a friend and at one point I got the comeback kid talent. But it has never worked correctly for me. Shouldn't that prevent you from dying from the first deadly blow? If you get a deadly blow again in the same fight _then_ you should die right? My character has never been able to stay alive thanks to this perk. So what gives? Anyone else having the same problemo? Does it _randomly_ save you and I've just had super bad luck? Makes the talent really usless for me even though I'd love to keep using it if it worked fine.

AoE Damage and such. If you're in a surface (say, Fire) and you resist death, to my knowledge it actually reactivates the fire damage and such again.

Meaning you have 20 HP for example. Burning does 21-24 per turn. Enemy hits you for 193 Damage.

Comeback kid stops you from dying by saying "CharacterName Resisted Death!" but then that 21-24 Burning Damage procs.

Thus killing you regardless. Get what I'm saying?

CK only triggers once, if you are poisoned etc, you die the very next turn because omae wa, mo shindeiru! Since your original HP is at 0.

CK only triggerrs on melee attacks afaik.

It actually only triggers on any enemy-dealt damage. Outside sources life surfaces, status effects, ally damage, etcetc won't trigger it.

It has to be directly enemy-dealt , such as from a crossbow, a skill of theirs, melee, etcetc.

Comeback Kid also takes you up to 20% of your Max HP , to my knowledge.

Ah! Gotcha, seems pretty useless then (there hasn't been a battle where I died directly from physical damage and no effects on me) unless it combos with morning person? Which I don't think it does?

Morning Person makes RESSURECTION bring you back to 100% Vitality.

Comeback Kid prevents dying in the first place and sets your health to 20% of your Vitality so long as the damage procing it would've killed you to begin with. It negates fatal blows basically by not allowing your HP to fall below 20% and if it already is, shoot it up to 20%.

Ressurecting someone restores the Comeback Kid usage so, it could be used well if someone does die. Since they pretty much get 1.5 extra lives.

But no, Comeback Kid will not restore you at 100% HP if you have Morning Person as for Comeback Kid doesn't ressurect you.
