Well firstly there’s good news. As you can see from the video, I did it! The Eagle no damaged on Lethal. I’ve also posted the video on my channel as both a short and a long form video for those interested. https://youtube.com/@nemesis_171?si=YOoZOaCg1PuPQLcC

I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave advice, because it’s the only reason I succeeded, and it’s part of why I’m making this post.

The main reason however, is that the attack in question from the last post I made, is bugged. One user pointed out to me that they had heard about it being bugged, as in the attack animation was skipping frames. So I went and tested it myself. I changed the graphics setting from favor resolution to favor performance (PS5) and recorded the attack animation.

I made sure to get hit by it on this graphics mode too so that I keep variables the same, and I made sure to be the same distance away from her as well. I counted the amount of frames in the attack in both videos, starting on the frame when the blue glint is fully visible and ending on the frame I got hit, and this was what I found:

On the favor resolution graphics mode (the one I made the first post on) the attack was 19 frames long, (at 60 fps) so just less than a third of a second.

On the favor performance graphics mode (still at 60 fps since my tv is 60hz) the same attack was 26 frames long. So yes, it does for some reason skip 7 frames on the favor resolution graphics mode.

But curiously, even on favor performance, if you attack her while blocking, she will sometimes dodge away and respond with this attack. When she does, she goes back to skipping 7 frames.

So basically if you are having the same trouble that I was, just lower the graphics and don’t attack her block much. Again, thanks to everyone!
