Can someone tell me why the runs "Any% (Glitchess, HC)" says no glitchess are permited but ppl are doing that? I saw Krzysiek using Mana Shield and hiting hiself with firewall at caves... The demons seems to had they hit power much lowerd at all.

Is there another legit mode besides "Any% (Glitchess)" here?

Thanks.

As I understand it, the low hp + mana shield trick is more of an exploit than a glitch.

It doesnt reduce the power of enemy hits it just prevents you from being able to be stunlocked. You still take the full amount of damage that the enemy deals if they hit you.

For comparison, duping any items is not allowed in the run which is a straight up glitch.

It would be nice if the rules were better written to specify these things but it seems like the moderators haven't been active in a while.
