Hit comedy gold today
So I just picked up DD1 couple of days ago and in one of my early runs I came across a boss called swine prince. Being early in the game, me still learning, my party full of lvl 1 goons random setup. I see the anooying little pig and kill it first. Then the boss went ballistic spamming aoe heavy attacks. Won the fight but my jester died.
Fast forward today, me way more experienced, all my goons mostly lvl 4 and some 5. I see a run for swine prince again. I'm like, OK revenge for my poor jester. Pick a proper comp and had man at arms for pos1. Enter the boss room and decide to focus on boss this time and ignore the annoying minion. Ofc my man at arms ran riposte and guard. So I use guard on my healer and riposte on boss.
That's when I laughed off my chair. Every single time the little annoying piggy would act up and issue marks it would be immediately met with a shield bash on its face! I already knew from experience that riposte works on all incoming moves not just physical but stress attacks too (psychic attacks I call them) but I was not prepared for that interaction. Piggy going wiWiwi and then BAM, shield straight to its face. wiiii BAM. Wiii? BAM. Legit the funniest moment in this game so far.
