Stay patient and wait for clear openings after his combo finishers
Dodge or parry his first strike in each attack chain
Do not spam attacks; use short, controlled punish windows
Keep medium distance to read his tells more easily
Roll away from unblockable or delayed heavy attacks
Use parries on standard sword swings to create counter opportunities
Heal only after creating space, not during his pressure strings
Save your strongest abilities for his stagger or recovery moments
Break his posture steadily instead of forcing long combos
Avoid getting cornered; reposition often to maintain room
Watch for feints and delay your reaction slightly
Use quick attacks after dodging, then disengage
If he becomes aggressive, defend first and counter second
Stay calm during phase changes and reset your spacing
Equip gear or skills that improve parry timing and survivability
Learn his rhythm through repeated attempts and punish consistency
