Enemies just dodge on trigger, which works great in gameplay as most players don't use lock on
Other lesser games would just have enemies rush like zombies or unfairly dodge at every state perfectly

With Iron flesh I can completely tank through one of the hardest ecounters in game by moving tactically and using lures, despite having no heals, because damage reduction actually works in Dark Souls 3 unlike Dark Souls 2
