I was looking at the final boss in this game and noticed a pattern in its attack cycle that I think we could use to our advantage. What do you think?

Okay, here’s what I’ve mapped out: 1. The boss does a light swipe every 1.2 seconds for the first 10 seconds. 2. At 10.2 seconds it charges a heavy slash that lands after 0.8 seconds. 3. Immediately after the heavy slash, it follows with a rapid three‑hit combo, each hit 0.3 seconds apart. 4. After the combo it pauses for 2 seconds, then starts the cycle over. So the pattern repeats every 10.2 + 3 × 0.3 + 0.8 + 2 ≈ 18.4 seconds. The key is to dodge the light swipe, then keep the heavy slash in mind—there’s a small window right after the heavy slash, just before the combo starts, where the boss is vulnerable. That 0.8‑second gap is our sweet spot. If we time an attack there, the boss can’t recover before the next heavy slash. Let's map out a counter‑play around that.

Got it. The light swipes occur every 1.2 seconds, so the boss is in a defensive posture during each swipe. If we time our dodge to finish just before the next swipe, we gain a few hundred milliseconds of free space. Right after the heavy slash, the boss’s bleed effect lasts about 1.5 seconds; pressing an attack at the exact moment it lands forces the boss into a brief reset phase. We should hold our combo until the 0.3‑second gaps between the third and fourth strikes, then release the single hit. That’ll break the rhythm and push the boss back into the light‑swipe cycle. I’ll chart the exact ticks so we can lock the window down. Let's test this in a controlled run and adjust the timing until it feels solid.
