ping ur friends that you want to get a 31, and then we can strat hide from the rest :palehmm:
I have solved instabuffer for dreamers/thk
it is tied to completing a heal, anytime you complete a heal the game will no longer instant buffer ur focus input until you savequit
HOWEVER if you start a heal, and cancel it, the game will RETURN to the bufferable state, and you can cancel it without losing soul (this is why if you heal when you have more than one cast to less then full hp, the next heal will briefly start and you can instabuffer still)
in order to channel the focus you will need enough soul to heal, so if you don't have soul you can't fix the state, you can channel this focus by itself or after a heal (assuming you don't have 5 hp at the time of the canceled heal)
for lurien, this means if you have a cast before you start watcher knights you should start and cancel a heal (let go of focus as soon as the knight starts bending to heal) and you can instant focus lurien EVEN if you healed before this
the timing for this is to press focus slightly after you dash (specifically 2 frames, but remember buffer windows so aim later than this)
if ur healing at watchers and not healing to 5, you can using the extra soul to continue the heal animation and cancel that instead
for monomon, f you heal in uumuu you should start a heal and cancel it at some point in the fight (either at the start or waiting for one of the openings)
if ur not healing to full you can just cancel the last heal if you have enough soul at once
for thk, if you healed at some point and havent quit out, you can set this up during self stab, as long as you've hit them in a multiple of 5 you've gotten all the damage that matters anyway (you can't do this after killing them because you will probably not have the soul to channel a heal)
if you press focus 1 frame before a nail (remember that ur inputs can be buffered so probably aim at the same time as or slightly later) you can nail again without dps loss (3 frame window), losing a bit of dps is fine since worst case you're losing 1 damage and also theres a window where you have to wait or youd wake up thk late
if you're not healing to 5, you can heal during self stab and continue the heal animation and cancel it instead
for herrah theres probably no point where you've healed so it doesnt matter, if you are healing in herrah just dont heal to 5 let the heal run slightly long to cancel its animation if you want (each frame you run long is a frame you lose, so its not always worth but you save 3 frames in herrah so if you let it run 1 frame long its 2 frames saved)
there is a 0.2s window where the soul starts draining and you can let go of the button and get the soul refunded
instant buffer can also cancel the nail animation itself so its 4 frames faster in dreamers over a perfectly timed buffer, no guaranteed timesave in THK but buffering is always better than not
