Twin Blade Mastery
Critical Counter
The Twin Blade's critical invincibility acts as a counter, allowing you to dash away and reset positioning while the boss is vulnerable.
Block Baiting
Hold block to trigger the boss's block-break attempt. When they use their R critical, you can counter and create space.
