Let a big enemy shrug off weak hits while winding up a heavy blow

If every tap interrupts a giant's swing, it is a toy; if nothing does, fights become a race to avoid. A threshold that adds up the pressure gives light weapons a use and makes heavy ones feel heavy. This entry shows the counting and when to forget it.

Why this works

Weight should be felt in what the enemy does, not only in its health. Letting small hits pile up toward a limit means chip damage still has a use, while a strong blow still breaks through at once, and each swing starts fresh.

When not to use it

Skip it for small or fast enemies, and for a first boss meant to teach the basics. Being interrupted by any hit is clearer there; save the stubborn kind for later fights where the player has learned heavier tools.
