Weapon and combat techniques.

Combat in this game can be difficult sometimes. Especially considering how competitive players in this game are.(and how much other people play) I think one of the more important ones is just keep your cool. Most of these techniques boil down mostly to experience. Such as, if you get into a spell combo (m1 means a basic click combo) like m1 x4 then gelu right as you get up then terra, its best to dash backwards and press g. If you get into a high risk situation its best to back off for a minute and regain your cool. I would reccomend getting gelu and terra or flamma and terra before getting into actual combat situations so you dont risk trying to m2 as they get up and getting perfect blocked. I think repeatedly using m1 x4 then gelu and terra is quite effective. You can also bait your opponents like such. m1x4 Start spell animation, unequip the spell right on time and using m2 instead. This way, your opponent will mana shield and you will use punch m1. What combat mostly boils down to as a freshie is dashing. Practice dashing alot. Dash towards your opponent unexpectedly and m1 them. Same for max class. Its best to experiment with combos and m1 timing in actual combat. I wouldnt exactly reccomend perfecting a combo against a consenting friend as they might not try to block. I would say learn combos and contiually use them in combat situations. Practice makes perfect is a wise saying and it applies here( not a saying its just a thing to comfort people kinda but not really ). Once you get experienced you can try more complex and risky techniques. Such as trying to guess when they will unblock or hitting their block then hitting again as soon as they unblock to hit you. (dont use this against fist) IF in the occasion someone keeps blocking just dash towards them and use m2. Alot of people dont use m2 and they really should. Remember, M2 is a block breaker. So while these tips might be hard to get used to, just keep testing them out and practicing. Like i said, it mainly boils down to experience.
