Core Loop
- Observe the enemy's first movement.
- Dodge or step out of the line of attack.
- Use a short punish instead of a greedy combo.
- Reset spacing before the next windup.
Arena Reads
Rooms are staged like scenes. Check where the camera wants your eye, where hazards sit, and whether the foreground blocks a safe retreat.
Practice Plan
- Use level select to repeat one hard encounter.
- Skip dialogue only after your first run.
- Practice defensive clears before fast clears.
- Write down which enemy starts the chain reaction.
