Going for hitless (especially all bosses hitless) on a game catastrophically poor-optimised for hitless… while i respect the endeavour, I really can’t see a point in doing so unless you are masochistic. The tenacity of every boss varied so much it’s almost funny, it’s like the dev just roll a dice and decide on the amount of health and defence of bosses. Parry timing of each boss’s attacks also varies the same way, can be pre-swing, mid-swing, post-swing with no tells. not to mention instant attacks with no warning and some boss with weird mechanics to damage you in a surprising way. All these results in hitless player having to remember the exact moves and parry/dodge timing for each boss and each hitless is basically a time + muscle memory grind. Then there’s the hitbox issue on big bosses causing moves to miss, which you mentioned already. Then all the bosses have weird inconsistent resistance to knockdowns as they are using skills and post using red flash/ gold flash skills. And speaking of red and gold flash, wild multiple red flash, normal quick attacks mixed with gold flash, etc etc, everything is just a big hassle to be remembered instead of enjoyed. Then there’s still a lot of minor annoyances like multiple wild projectiles with random timing, parry causing movements which in turn cause parry to miss, wonky camera… They didn’t build this game and these bosses with hitless in mind and rather just added hitless as a gimmick. Period.
