Hey Poppy, have you ever thought about how a well‑timed block can turn the tide in a fight? I was analyzing a classic boss fight last night and the timing of every parry felt like a carefully choreographed dance. What do you think—do you rely more on brute force or on precise timing when you guard the weak ones?

My go‑to is the “timed counter” in the final boss—hold the shield just until the enemy’s swing connects, then instantly counter. It feels like reading a book where every page is a beat. If you skip the tutorial, you’re just memorizing numbers, not learning why that precise moment matters. Try it, watch the damage drop, then repeat until you’re as fluent in timing as I am in game lore.

I ran it through about twelve full loops of the boss’s attack pattern before the counter landed consistently. That’s a lot of data, but it makes the difference between a sloppy hit and a clean, efficient swing that cuts the damage in half. Keep looping, keep timing—patience pays off.
