I don't know what the hell happened at 7:04, it seems his attack just didn't hit, Mist Raven didn't trigger lol
This is my second complete AP1 no-hit Sword Saint Isshin fight, featuring parries! I still made use of strats from my first AP1 vid to get his vit down low enough (I'll put links to my other fights below.) Flame Vent is used to make the fight less monotonous, and a little faster. Poison does more damage with less emblems, but trying to apply it has gotten me killed a couple times prior so I decided to try something different. I can't say this method of burning Isshin is consistent, this isn't something I practiced on him, just something I decided to do today. Oil helps, but I don't have many in stock so I decided to do without it.
For phase 1, I stuck to my old strategy of forcing him to parry using thrusts. I prefer this over regular slashes, as this gives me enough time to respond to that hyper-armor side dash attack of his.
Unfortunately, I didn't come up with the 2nd phase parry strategy. u/pedalgep from Reddit posted a video of his(?) fight, and I immediately thought it was much simpler and just as consistent as what I was doing. So I tried to practice it and got this on my third try. My old strat mainly was attack once and keep parrying. This strat is attack once, parry, then counter attack immediately. Works like a charm, shaves off 3-4 mins from my estimate. One major difference in this one was it prevents him from running away. I initially thought this wouldn't work well with me because I thought I wouldn't have time to close the gap once he does his jump-back spear sweep. I was fortunately wrong, since I had no issues chasing him around.
At this point I have completed my API Charmless DB No-Hit challenge, but I might revisit Owl's 2 fights for fun.
