Guide
I will update this when I have played more games with it, but pretty easy to play.
- Intervene to escape or engage OR for shield
- If Javlein Thrust lands, try to stun them out (You can follow up with jump -> shield bash or Spear Barrage)
- You can mitigate a ton of dmg with shield block and dmg them back with releasing, but these things will come naturally if you play more
- For Great Sword spell I usually pick grab or Whittering Mark (But I often don't use GS at all)
- I tried, and you can replace Spear Barrage with Rainbow Piercer, BUT!!!! It is important you just tap the spell in most situations since it gives you an insta block into a hit, but it is kinda slow and very situational. (If you want to toss people off edges, take both talents for Rainbow Piercer.
Lastly, you can drop Sacred Body and use the talent wherever you want it; I just hate sorcerers.
