How to fight
Suggested preparation
Leave space for sideways evasion and avoid spending all stamina on one extra hit.
Fight plan: evade and counter
1. Sidestep the heavy strike and watch its outward ground attack; avoiding the weapon is not a cue to rush back in front.; 2. Wait for the complete three-hit chain before approaching to counter.; 3. Restore some distance after a melee exchange so you have room to respond to a kick or another heavy strike.
Mistakes to avoid
The weapon hitting the ground does not end every threat; follow-up waves still need to be avoided.
Before combat
Attack patterns
