Talk:Sir Alonne/@comment-108.44.40.152-20161226200220

Well, this is odd. . . I fought Sir Alonne for the first time last night, and noticed a move that's not mentioned on the wiki. In fact, I'm not sure what triggers it, or how no one else has noticed it. My first two attempts to slay this boss failed, as he buffed his sword with some kind of glowing red energy VERY early into the fight; he probably had more than 90% HP left. I'm not entirely sure what kind of damage it does, but it appeared to vastly increase the level of bleed build-up I received, even when blocking with a Tower Shield +10. The weirdest part was my third and final attempt. That time, Alonne simply never used it, and the fight was a (admittedly still difficult) cakewalk.

Has anyone else encountered this odd move? Is there something that triggers it? Is it RNG-based? I should mention that I didn't change my equipment in between any of the attempts, so it isn't like how Fume Knight instantly goes to his second phase if you wear Velstadt's helmet.
