So when are you going to fix Foresight?
Half the time it doesn't even work. I still take damage. From a single hit.

It's a bit ironic that you make it sound like Foresight is not good enough for you :)
It's definitely the most broken skill since the original Face Flask.
It's like a legendary Ice Armor but with 6 times lower cooldown. Insanity.

As for your concern, you are probably getting hit by things that deal multiple instances of damage. It's the same Ice Armor, I also didn't understand why I'm getting hit when I just started using it back in the day.
Examples of things that might look like a single hit but deal multiple separate damage instances: Demon's fireball, Scarecrow's slice, Demolisher's explosive bolt.

Also it seems to be a bit bugged indeed as it doesn't protect from traps. But if there are going to be any fixes to it, trust me, you won't like them. They will definitely NOT make it better lol.

No. It's not multiple hits. Sometimes It just lets damage through. It doesn't matter anymore I got to 5 BC.

In my experience. Foresight only prevent 1 hit and doesn't block all damage types.
It doesn't block these types:
  • DoT damage like poison such as sewers poison or assassin's poison
  • Bomb/Explosive-type damage. Examples: Worms that drop bombs after death in sewers biome. Explosive bolts. Fireballs. Barrel bombs. Etc.
  • Any Trap damage
  • Falling Elevator/Boulders damage

Foresight is always bugged in all rooms that need Boss cells to open the door, including the High Peak Castle rooms . If you get hit in these rooms. The cooldown for Foresight won't start. You need to exit the room for the cooldown to start.

Foresight cooldown also sometimes bugged out after taking a hit. The cooldown hourglass will get stuck and won't prevent damage even after 5 seconds has passed.
Just press Esc and Swap your items position by pressing Y (default key for keyboard). The cooldown should resume and hourglass icon will disappear.

Even with bugs. Foresight is still extremely powerful.

Since I haven't seen it mentioned, Foresight is also bugged when paired with Armadillopack. Foresight will take priority over Armadillopack, causing Armadillopack to not parry and Foresight to be triggered instead. If this is not a bug, then it's inconsistent behaviour because Foresight will not trigger when you parry via other methods.

Foresight needs a nerf (I was able to earn my first Queen victory without taking damage because of Foresight), but more importantly, it needs to be bug-free and consistent.

While we're at it, electrodynamics probably needs a nerf as well. I've been able to clear entire levels quickly and with ease just by running past enemies.

I think you ironically don't know the meaning of "irony."

The main issue I have with Foresight, and it's a big one, is that the window for it to proc is bigger than the parry window. So even if I time a parry perfectly fine, it will use Foresight instead, to "save me" from an attack that wouldn't have even hit me, so my parry is now on "cooldown" due to not connecting with anything.
