I would love to find out what's past day 1, i really would. Idk if I just suck or what, but the Crane fight feels IMPOSSIBLE. Every single comment I've seen on how to beat him is to build up parry and deal 1 blow, but the moment I build up a good parry mult, he comes out with a gd tsunami of dice that kills me in one hit bc I've spent most of my dice building up the parry combo.
I'm genuinely stumped. I've tried every artifact that the game gives you and, even still, it feels like it's just luck. At least with Deathblossom, I can see where I went wrong and adapt. With this game, it's just throwing my skull against a brick wall until I happen to get just close enough to break it before I pass out and someone rebuilds the entire wall.
Highly recommend the stick (flip die so 1->6), the bunny ear circle (-10 hp but roll another die) or the toy (+3 damage/turn). They all let you earn 3+ points a turn so you can outlast him. Avoiding parrying if he's rolling a lot of dice (half of it just comes back at you when attacking next turn which negates part of the parry bonus), keep the retaliation counter low & wait for your 1-hit-kill.
