Can someone explain how this works, please?  Raised a ticket only to be referred here.  Apologies if this is a duplicate, there appears to be no search facility on here.

 

From the item description it would suggest I should be unbeatable with this refinement.

100% chance to be reset to 1 hit point after each fatal hit, right?

 

I managed to find one post that seemed to suggest this works only once, is this the correct usage?  If it is a one time only use per fight, it should say so in the description.  If not, why am I losing duels?

Smelling Salts is one of the top refinements to go for.

These "zombie boots" manage to give you one extra push:

when you should actually get killed in a fight, it gives you the chance to make ONE extra hit.

This is literally vital in any and every fight, be it in a mission, a duel or a studio battle.

 

To me this is the most powerful refinement of all.

Still saves me every day at least in 2 out of 5 missions...

And in a studio battle it can be the difference between just a close victory or a crushing defeat...

Now that my char has been deleted...

I finally am just as relevant to UK2 as Maalena always has been.

Anything that gives you an extra hit is very valuable. Smelling Salts/Zombie Boots is 100% guaranteed that you get one extra swing. Spurring Knobs on your hat and the Overwhelming Eau de Toilette on your piercing almost always gives a trigger, but that "almost always" puts them slightly below the Smelling Salts. (Not to mention that the Duct Tape on the piercing is quite arguably better.)

 

The Applied Lube on your belt is also very good. It stops the opponent from hitting you, which often translates into one more swing for you.

 

But in a studio fight!! That is where Zombie Boots really really shine. Nothing like making an opponent's 30 diamond investment in a cake... do zero damage. No other refinement can do that.

 

My top three are Smelling Salts, Spurring Knobs and Applied Lube. Don't leave home without them. And consider Duct Tape very strongly.

Just noticed that while we have all extolled the virtues of zombie boots, we have failed to directly answer all the questions posed:

 

1) As Analis said, Zombie Boots activate once per combat opponent. Note that in a studio fight, it can trigger multiple times, if you defeat multiple opponents. The most I have seen is one player kill 3 opponents while down at 1 hit point...

 

2)  The search field is to the right of the 'big bang empire' logo at the top of the screen.
