AND ANOTHER THING. i know that on a meta level this is literally just How Video Game Bosses Work. but also with how well the game mechanics work into the story in many other cases i don't think it's unreasonable to look at it from an in universe perspective

i think it really says something that loop only uses their stronger attacks in their second phase. i think it really says something that you have to bring them down to 0hp four (4) times, attacking them repeatedly + proving that you are willing to genuinely hurt/kill them, before they'll use their most powerful attacks on siffrin

#talk tag #isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #man i am wordy today huh #anyways. i think abt loop a normal amount can you tell. i think about twohats a normal amount can you tell #also wait hold on i just checked the stats page again for this post and. it seems like loop Cannot crit in phase one?#unless im reading it wrong. but like. gestures emphatically if that is true #id need to go fight them again to check but i dont think attack buffs would do anything (bc their attacks are percentage based)#which would mean if both of those things are true the max damage they can do in phase one IS genuinely just 17% of ur hp #+ even if attack buff DOES do smth thatd still only be uhhhhhhh #like 25%? but even then they can only buff once per loop in phase one + they only do that 17% attack once every 3 turns #so theyd only be able to get one of those. so im just gonna say 17% max for simplicity sake #guarding halves the damage down to 8.5% and for the other attack halves it to 5%. you heal 6% every turn with the memory #you could literally just stand there and guard forever and absolutely nothing else. and stay at almost full hp the whole time #if im doing the math right then youd lose a total of 0.5% hp for every three turns. by just standing there and doing nothing but guarding #loop! does not! want!!! to hurt siffrin!!!!!!!! thank you for coming to my ted talk. takes a bow #wait thats not taking into account attack speed actually hold on #okay so its gonna vary based on level obvs + also my sif has the scissors equipped which lowers attack speed and i cant. unequip them </3 #BUT. opened up my act 6 save to check. his attack speed is 186 (at level 76) and loops is 170. so sif outpaces loop #which MEANS [clears throat] sif can probably outheal all the damage loop does given enough time #okay. thank you for coming to my ted talk for REAL this time. maybe ill make these tags their own post i fucking went off so much help m #was joking abt being really wordy today and then went and wrote a FULL ESSAY in the tags like okay
