I think you could soft lock (if that's the word) the game in Final Fantasy 7 by doing that. The spell would just go back and forth forever and you couldn't continue. Later games had a reflect limit on magic so it would eventually hit.

They were not immune. The best combo in the game is having a boss poisened and then using that spell that WRECKS FUCKING SHOP on poisened enemies. 60% of the time, works everytime. I destroyed the game this way. So satisfying.
>>
>>345226235

Pretty sure every FF with a reflect spell makes it so reflected magic goes through reflect. You could cast reflect on yourself then cast Bolt 3 All for example to hit the enemy three times and go straight through their reflect.

There was no other in-game way to know what your enemies were vulnerable to. You have to use this OP accessory to figure out "oh, THIS nigger is weak to blind, slow, oil, and testicular torsion? good to know!". That's poor design.

This doesn't happen nearly enough. My literal only complaint about Chrono Trigger is that they didn't take this concept just a little bit farther, and make a true unique hidden end for saving Zeal. Make all stages not just the first a ton harder and/or different, then there is a total universe change where Schala takes over as queen and there's a magitech future.

Chrono Trigger DS, the Dream Devourer
>http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Dream_Devourer
>Since the Dream Devourer has 32000 HP, which is close to the signed 16-bit integer limit, it is actually possible to defeat it by healing it. By using powerful magic that it absorbs during its second phase, it can be (temporarily) healed past 32767 HP, which overflows the counter and makes its HP go negative.

I played until frigost, celestial bearbarian. All those gimmicks seem silly in theory, but they make the fights quite interesting until you figure out a strategy. Sadly, after that, it's just routine.
It also made it much less appealing to play with people you don't know with the likelyhood they will fuck it all up. If someone fucks up in dragon pig, that's fine it's just one death - if someone fucks up in kimbo, that's an instant wipe.

Two instances from Terraria.

Brain of Cthulhu in Expert Difficulty will create hallucinations that increase in vividness the closer to death it is until you can't really tell them apart, plus it teleports in and out constantly, Phantoon style. The hallucinations don't hurt you and you can't hurt them. The primary way to tell which one is real is because they're all mirrored on your four corners, meaning they all get closer if you get closer to the real one, and they all get further away if you move away from the real one, so you have to judge how they move to figure out which one is real. Or you could just set the real one on fire.

The Lunatic Cultist summons decoys while preparing for a certain attack and, if you attack the wrong ones instead of damaging the real one, it summons out a really strong attack. They have different names and sprites though, with the difference being that the real one has three black pixels for its eyes in a right angle triangle, and the fake ones have four black pixels for eyes to make them look sort of like dummies.

HP regen presumably mends the body, and the undead probably still have matter to them which would be mended.

Obviously the PC's always gonna be the best character if you don't make a pants on head retarded kind of build but other than that I'd say Dante's the best because he's a jack of all trades that's actually useful.

Golem in Castelvania: Dawn of Sorrow.

Use the magic cape to swap their HP (9999) and MP (1) then punch them.

I think there was a similar enemy who could only be killed with the Ice Cream Sunday joke attack, because it damaged the enemy every frame they intersected. Throw out a few and you'll do hundreds of damage per second.
