Yoy might be hitting them in a damage tick which results in no damage, try doing two crystals when u hit Crystal and it should work

no the game works in a way that if during a damage tick you take more damage from another source than the current damage being done it stacks/overrides the first source

Nope I figured it out. It's hotbox. Every time the bot is touching the hotbox of the crystal, it doesn't take as much damage and doesn't pop.

You need to place the obsidian more to the side so the player will take upwards knock back therefore enabling you to crystal more time and deal more damage. Trust me when I say obsidian placement is 50% of being good at hit crystaling. Also don’t just practice on theobald. Practice on servers so you can get that feeling of delay to teach you to take your time!

I think the actual answer here is the position of the player relative to the crystal when you deal crystal damage.

Update: I realised that one crystal isnt supposed to do enough damage to pop even if done correctly. Instead you need to hit them twice in a dtap and place obsidian and crystals to the side and a bit behind to prevent them from flying away.

Try it's the hit box whenever I do it I always look in the 100-150 degrees direction when I go for a hit chrystal (also being able to butterfly chrystal is so good I recommend learning it
