Hitless Rules for Sekiro

General Rules:

A Hit is defined by a loss of health and/or stagger caused by an enemy.
Hits from player triggered traps count. Environmental damage does not count as such (Static features as water, swamp, campfires are fine).
While fall damage does not count, a death from falling or resetting your position after a black out scene will.
Blocking an enemy counts as a hit, but a deflect does not.
Major glitches are not allowed (Airswim, Snake Skips, any out of bound skips).
Minor glitches are allowed (Early access to Mist noble and Ashina Castle roof skips).
Quitouts are not allowed except in situations where it is completely safe in the vicinity of an idol being without aggro (red) or attention (yellow) marks (Quitouts after killing Fake Monk or Owl (Father) to skip their dialogues are allowed since you are in the safety of an idol).
Summon other players is forbidden, but NPC summons are allowed.
Making use of NPCs are allowed.
Killing bosses/ads from outside of the boss arena is not allowed.

Specific Rules for Sekiro:

Staggers from phase transitions are hits.
Gyoubu Oniwa and Demon of Hatred skips are not allowed.
Deflections on Blazing Bull are not allowed and are considered hits due to tick damage.
Lightning reversals that inflict damage on you count as a hit. Damage can be avoided by using Mist Raven or Sakura Dance (all lightning reversals on Divine Dragon also avoid damage).
Armored Warrior and O’rin cheese are allowed.
Armored Warrior’s berserk combo, which breaks your posture when you deflect it, doesn’t count as a hit.
Great Shinobi Owl’s anti-heal bomb is not a hit.
Great Shinobi Owl’s smoke bomb is a hit.
Divine Dragon’s gust/wind attack is a hit (except for the first gust when entering the fight as it’s unavoidable).
Juzou the Drunkard’s poison smoke stun is a hit.
Yashariku’s Sugar counts as damage taken and is not allowed for “No Damage” runs.
Mortal Journey is not valid to officially join the team, but team members can submit Mortal Journey runs for the website.
Rules for Sword Only & Sword DMG only here.
Hook grapple glitch in the tutorial is allowed.
Every boss or miniboss must give their drop to be counted as killed.

Specific Rules for Non Fresh Start NG+ Runs:

Runs have to start FROM its correlated run, for example: you only can start a Shura ng+ from a Shura ng, you can only start a IS ng+ from a IS ng and so on.
If you want to start a ng+2 or other ng+, you will have to start it from its correlated run previously. If you want to do a IS from a Shura, for example, you are welcome, but it won’t count as a different run, you can change runs upward, not downward. You cannot have only-obtainable skills, items or prosthetics from other categories like Dragon Flash or Yashariku Spiritfall for Shura.
Runs will have to start with its previous and correlated AP and EXP limit, for example:

For Shura:
AP will be 7 (Fire Isshin is counted)
Exp will be level 31
For Immortal Severance:
AP will be 10 (there’s nothing counted as extra like Apes, Lady, etc)
Exp will be level 41
For All Memories:
AP will be 14
Exp will be level 46
For ABMB and beyond:
AP will be 14
Exp will be at your choice

If you want to start a ng+2 or other ng+, you will have to start it from its correlated run previously upgrading your AP the same amount that you did from ng to ng+, but in this case, feel free about EXP in any category.
You cannot have any remain memories to redeem from the previous ng.
You have to show the AP that you have and the EXP level before starting the ng+ journey. You can spend your EXP levels before starting the ng+.

About consumables, you can have a free amount of all of them in any case.
Keep in mind that in Shura you cannot have Yashariku Spiritfall since you have to start from a previous Shura ng.
You can use any number of prosthetics in any category (base AND upgraded, all of them).
You can use Dragon Mask, but you cannot start with it, you will have to farm it.
Sen can be infinite at the start
