is there a way to prevent max hp loss in combat?

[MR.hyde]

IMO a stupid mechanic, i thought i only lose max HP when i get "critical" status effect but instead i get max HP loss whenever i get hit also all enemy focus me, i tried to be cool about it and hold the dodge button until i can parry but mobs still hit me so i opted to hang on my weapon in safety and let my team kill the mobs...........................

is there a better way to deal with it? i know i can use elixirs but they are expensive and i dont want to spend my time farming them on the pinball game

Yeah I agree it totally ruins my enjoyment of the combat.

i think its there to give a sense of limit to how much abuse you can endure before needing to camp and rest. Obviously can extend with items/ careful combat. I just kinda circle around till i can get a cheeky blindside link on a mob then dodge out again

Only Daemons drop your max hp when attacking you.

interesting! i just started the game and i thought combat damage in general reduces my max hp, i will pay more attention during my next session.

I've lost maxHP in plenty of non-demon fights. >.>

There's key differences tho - some attacks may drop max HP almost instantly, while others give you that secondary light colored bar indicating you will lose maxHP if you don't quickly take a potion before that colored bar depletes. Something like that.

If your are below 0 HP and get hit this state you will lose max HP.

Daemons will lower your max HP all the time, not just when u fell below 0 HP.
