Elias the Boatman has Defeated Shiro by Henching!

Yes, I just had to say it. I was gonna post this bit two days ago (when I actually accomplished the feat, but I got busy, and yesterday was Milenyo's day. I have heard when I was trying to beat Shiro with Simoun Ibarra that Shiro could be henched, and I was able to do it.

Things to note:
- Bodyblock him, though this can be difficult with hench.
- Although Shiro can be knocked down, he gets up so fast that Falling Spider will not be able to hit.
- Condition effects seem to work on him. Like Kuunavang, he's got tough armor, and unless you have armor penetration, damage will be severely negated. Poison, bleeding, anything that would chip away at his health. It ensures that even if your weapon damage does zero damage, something is eating away at him.

I tried doing it again, didn't work. Being hench, bodyblock is kinda tough and uncoordinated. Also, if he happens to banish your troops, it can be a real-time decision to bring them back or leave them be. You hench will not try to get back to reality (or at least, I don't know if they do.
I wonder how my monk will do when he gets there.
