Haven ' t played this in years . What is hardcore ironman ? <| sep |> YOU LIKE THAT ? <| sep |> Haha I want to do this now . <| sep |> No way , at least not against the Chosen Undead . 100 % block shields counter the cannon , find one with good magic defense to stop A Call Beyond too , and the hunter doesn ' t have enough bullets to spam either . Gun parrying doesn ' t matter because the Chosen Undead ' s strategy is going to involve poisetrading . There ' s no evidence that the hunter is stronger than the Chosen Undead , and with the ninja flip ring they ' re about even on speed . Lead elixir can be waited out , and all it does is increase the hunter ' s poise up to the level that the Chosen Undead is at all the time while ruining his maneuverability . Ability to regen health is irrelevant if you ' re constantly stunlocked every time you try to get an attack in .
