Yeah, look for the small gaps in the boss’s attack patterns. Hit right before the next move starts, then dash out. It cuts a few extra ticks off the damage you take, so you’re breathing a bit longer before the boss can hit you. Try to keep your hitbox minimal too; the less you expose, the fewer seconds you lose.

Sounds solid. Keep the gap trick in your back pocket for when the boss tries to corner you. If you find a moment where the parry isn’t clean, that tiny window can still shave a few hundredths off the cycle. Stay sharp.

If you can sync a parry to the boss’s wind‑up, you’ll get a clean break. Then hit the backdoor before the next attack, and you’ll shave almost another tenth of a second. Also, keep an eye on the boss’s idle frames; a tiny misstep on your part can give you that extra burst. Keep them sharp.
