>Danmaku can harm and drain them over time. A bird usually only takes a shot or two, a boar might take several volleys. However, the trick is to not get attacked in the meantime.

>You jump back, and the brute's strike swings just short of your torso! She wastes little time in standing and turning to face you properly, looming over you as she closes in with speed and agility you would not expect from such a strangely proportioned thing! You are dimly aware of Dreamy shrieking somewhere behind you, and the sound moving away.

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #291 on:** October 12, 2016, 03:31:02 AM »

How are you going to regain balance? And how are you sure that taking the time to do so won't give the creature ample time to fire its other fist off at you? Purvis battles are not won by being generic and light on details.

>If the trees are notably far away, just roll with our off-balanced-ness instead. Literally, into a dodge roll where hopefully we can finish in a position not too hard to get up from.
