Do Reflections/Gauntlets of Strength contribute to Dragonrot, and can I increase my stats when I fight them?
In the free update, they added "Reflections of Strength" for boss fights, which gives the advice that it "does not affect reality" in terms of items, etc. To me, this seems like Sekiro is meditating upon previous battles.
I have gained my first Reflection against Gyoubu Masataka Oniwa, and my first impression is that he is much stronger then my previous encounter with him.
So my question is two-fold: does defeat (and the use of resurrection) lead to Dragonrot, and can I increase my stats/abilities to contribute to this fight?

They're purposefully harder than their "real" versions, especially the early game bosses like Gyoubu who are easier in the normal game because they're fought before the Wolf has access to most of his tools.Do Gauntlets of strength give XP?
