Moves and counters
Attack patterns and practical responses for recognizing the enemy's punish windows.
| Move | Pattern | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Swing down | Commits to a descending close-range strike. | Step away from the impact line and answer during recovery. |
| Mid-range sweep | Covers the space just beyond normal sword reach. | Do not hover at mid-range; close after the sweep or disengage fully. |
| All-range attack | Expands pressure around her position. | Create distance until the effect ends. |
| Underground attack | Disappears below ground and attacks from beneath the target. | Keep moving and delay the dodge until the emergence point commits. |
| Catch and counter | Can convert close pressure into a catch or counterattack. | Stop attacking into the defensive tell and reset your spacing. |
