Defense as Decision-Making
The best defense guide teaches choice, not button order. Players need to know when to study, when to stand ground, when to move, and when to convert a safe opening.
Decision Framework
- Block when learning rhythm or surviving unfamiliar strings.
- Parry when the timing and reward are worth the risk.
- Dodge when repositioning is safer than contact defense.
- Use movement tools when boss scale, camera, or area danger changes the problem.
Launch Verification
Exact defensive rules must be confirmed from tutorials and boss testing, then connected to boss pages and settings pages.
