I was chatting to a mate the other day about a similar thing.
I was suggesting that although Mandolorian and Cobra Kai are fantastic in their own right, that part of their popularity may be down to the nostalgic charm giving us a happy glow during the current shitstorm.
Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have now been brought in as Directors which means I'm now very, very interested.
Two of my favourite contemporary directors and I've loved everything they have done so far.
Fingers crossed.
I'm gonna have a crack at a No Death run soon. When I did my run for the Ring trophy the character I used only died twice so I reckon with a bit of concentration I could do it.
I'll never be good enough for a No Hit run so it'll be the next best thing.
Those stats are quite low tbh. I tend to get Vit and Stam plus my main attack stat (str/mag) to 30 and then go from there. You'll have a solid spread and can handle most enemy types in the first area of each Archstone.
In addition to this, how much Vit and stam do you have? If you are still in NG then they shouldn't be wrecking you that much? Also worth trying a shield with a hundred percent physical block.
