Not a bug.

It wants your HP to be a prime number (the boss will specifically say "compute vitals to primes" or something to that effect).

1 isn't a prime number.

Going by what's usually touted as a prime number (divisible only by itself and 1), I feel like it should be; that or the commonly touted "rule" should be revised.

But much like how some people think November should be considered part of winter, what we want or think should be the case doesn't necessarily change what is.

Um OK? That link leads to nowhere.

Genius, 1 is an odd number that cannot be divided by something else, so it is indivisible.

Leads to the bug report forum so I don't how you managed to get to that page. I didn't bother reading your not-a-bug report because it isn't a bug.

It is a bug. If you don't believe me, go do Construct 7 and if your HP is at 1 and the boss casts indivisible, you WILL fail the mechanic even though 1 is indivisible.

The name of the attack doesn't necessarily mean anything.

The mechanic specifically wants your HP to be a prime number. That is how the mechanic works. And 1 isn't a prime number; period. Thus, getting hit when your HP is 1 is working as intended.

If you didn't know that the mechanic wants your HP to be a prime number, that's on you for not paying attention to what the boss literally tells you.

Find a number that can divide 1 that isn't 1. Did you snooze through math class?

Let me tell you:

1 divided by 1: 1
1 divided by 2: 0.5
1 divided by 3: 0.33333333333
1 divided by 4: 0.25
1 divided by 5: 0.2

I hope you see the pattern.

We did not, but evidently you did. Next time step on 4 to bring your hp to 5. An actual prime number.
