[Nine Sols] Defeating Eigong in One* Hit (No Damage, True Ending)

The challenge is to beat Eigong while only doing direct damage once per phase. I achieve this by parrying/countering until her entire health bar is internal damage, then doing a single talisman attack. Talisman attacks turn all internal damage to direct damage as well as doing a little damage themselves.

Jades: Hedgehog, Reciprocation, Divine Hand, Qi Swipe

The Divine Hand Jade allows strings of unbounded counters that are very useful against certain combos that Eigong does. Since an unbounded counter does a lot of internal damage, this is really useful for getting the internal damage bar filled.

The Hedgehog Jade is useful for the fact that precise parries inflict internal damage, even though the amount of damage is small. It adds up over time, but its real usefulness is that inflicting internal damage stops Eigong from recovering it. If an enemy goes a certain amount of time without receiving any internal damage, they will slowly get it back.

The Qi Swipe Jade and the Reciprocation Jade synergize to do even more internal damage. The Qi Swipe Jade has a "drawback" of doing internal damage to Yi when you do a precise parry, but that's why I equipped it. The Reciprocation Jade transfers some internal damage to the enemy when you do an unbounded counter. There are other ways to get internal damage on Yi, but this felt the best given the challenge.

On the topic of this being a "no damage" challenge, I consider this a no damage run because I never get hit or do an imprecise parry. An imprecise parry will also cause internal damage, but you can tell the difference between an imprecise parry and a precise one by the sound it makes. All the internal damage I take is because of precise parries, meaning I wouldn't have received any if I didn't have the Qi Swipe Jade equipped. In a sense, it is "self inflicted" through my choice of jades.
