[SOLVED] Q: The Yokai demons 'Ki' bar purple/red color, and them going down without being depleted/exhausted.
Hello,

Sorry I have another question about Yokai, I'll take the Yoki (the regular early game demons) for example.

So I noticed their stamina bar can have two colors. I assume when it's purple he's got power to summon those dark pools. But why are there 2 different colors?

The point is: With regular human enemies, you deplete their 'Ki' and they get exhausted, then with the next hit they get downed and you can apply a finisher.

It happened many times that a Yoki suddenly got downed, while their 'Ki' bar isn't depleted at all, but I can apply a finisher. He just suddenly falls on his knees as if it's exhausted and downed. Sometimes their bar got red while they go down, and other times it remains purple. But in both cases it's not depleted.

Why is this, and can I take an extra damaging advantage of either purple or red downed state?

Purple ki = Yokai, these enemies do not deplete their ki via attacking, however they also do not regen ki unless standing inside a yokai pool, once out of ki they stagger from any attack, this includes bosses, most regular yokai have a weak spot that instantly drains their ki, the reason some yoki still have ki it's because you broke their horn while they were on a yokai pool so the recovered a small amout of ki.

all the horned yokai go down when you break their horns and become vulnerable for a finisher.
don't know about the purple thing... if a yokai stands inside their mist, they just regenerate their ki and can't be broken.

Yep, the regular oni go down when you break their horns. Once you fully deplete their "ki" bar by hitting them, they will go into a vounerable state where every attack you make against them staggers them.

Aah so the bars and their usage/regen work differently. Thanks for the info!

I just beat the Centipede, I'm about lvl 40 but I still have to practice the Ki Pulse. If I want to avoid them regenerating too easily I'll have to master cleansing their dark pools. I think I should have mastered Ki Pulse way earlier. Back to practice for me! :)

Yes I did for my 2 weapons that I want to use as main. But I'm bad at doing lots of stuff at the same time (I have autism), especially if it's a timed thing like the pulse combined while focusing on the battle at the same time. But don't worry, I just need to practice a little harder. I can do it :steamhappy:
