As indicated in the title, Hex doesn't reduce the Warguard counter by 1 but instead deals the full damage. Is this intended?
That actually makes a lot of sense loss of life=ignores warguard, since loss of life doesn't count as dmg
because it is an attack, attacks are affected by DEF loss of life does not imply 'pierces DEF', other instances of loss of life piercing DEF are because of the effect itself (ex spells, soultap)
