WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS, or definition of mastery?
My "tip", if you want to call it that:
Spacing- Sometimes you want to stay at your max attack range, other times at your opponents max range, or even super close. The list goes on and on.
Advice:
1. Learn your weapons attacks (thrust, sweep, etc.), speed, range, and animation
2. Know your opponents attacks, range, speed, and animation
3. If you know these things you can attack without being hit (factoring in bs, rolls, and parries of course).
Ex. Enemy does a 2handed claymore rt, r2. I have a katana and do a normal rb, r1 and start up my animation slightly after his begins. Thus, my weapon is coming in for a landing while his weapon's arc swing barely missed me (factoring in how both weapons' animations are bringing us closer to each other), BUT he did not hit me and is still in his animation so dodging is impossible.
People will call this luck but once you get it down, you have mastered this game.
If you take anything from this, then take this: "The best time to attack is during your opponents animation"
