Abaddon

I beat like 2 bosses I think.

My biggest issue is that no longer can I just dodge everything since you get "fatigued" which is just dumb. So you need to parry or block, but i've noticed blocking almost always results in you getting hurt from some status effect. I know I need to get back into it, if anything I might just start fresh.

Eeyup.

Well, in regard to dodging there is armor (thark armor) that essentially gives you unlimited dodge ability, the only downside is that it has very little health. Further, parrying is a hundred times easier in IB2 compared to IB1, it registers a lot easier and can defend against almost all attacks. Lastly, the status effects can be countered with gems and certain shields, but as you gain more health, it really doesn't matter if you get hit. It definitely is worth another shot, the story is...
