This is a challenge run from 嗜血印 Bloody Spell. It's probably one of the hardest challenges completed to date for this game.
The challenge is to complete the hardest spawn of enemies in Chapter 9 on hard mode, without using autoparry, any spells, any super armor moves, or any healing. As you can see I'm also using an underpowered weapon, (also short sword type weapons only).
The possessed city guardsmen make this fight atrociously difficult. They are extremely fast and strong and will combo you to death if your timing is off. The way the city guardsmen work is, regularly countering them is a bad idea in a challenge like this, because regular counters do not make you invincible to projectile damage, and delayed damage from others. So you will take damage even on successful regular counters.
You have to use instant counters to kill them quickly (So the mages will not be able to heal them), and in order to do that it's a delicate distance and timing game to the extreme. If you dash forward and try to reverse their instant start up attack from too far away, then the attack will start too late and the timing will be thrown off, and if you dash forward too late, they will begin their attack before you try to reverse it. You have to dash at the correct distance to get the guardsman to attack you at the perfect time.
Hope you enjoy! Bloody Spell is a great game for those who enjoy Ninja Gaiden, Souls games, or other action games.
