no, never said that ever. earlier post I mentioned just back up... they freeze for really long time in a fight before doing it if your not rushing them. let them come to you. they freeze or slowswing. just back up if they freeze. maybe with you shield up if your slow... wait and watch, walk right up to them and wait for the big slow swing and parry it. if he just stands still when you walk right up to him, back up again and repeat until you parry and punish.

Well the windup-"animation" for that swing is the Heide Knight standing still before.

Well everything about Heide knight is easy except that sideways-instant-double-sweep even right after he gets stunned; That is the only thing that im talking about. There is no windup animation for that.

the other one i find tricky is the one where the wind is up them holding still and staring at you. and then they charge across the area and slash your face before you can react.

i've heard lore-wise the heide knights are supposed to be blind, and thats why they have such a wonky move set. They are doing the sword equivalent of "spray-and-pray".

If you observe the sword in their right hand it is slowly moving upwards, that is indicator of the charge move, but it can sometimes surprise people when in co-op.

Anything that deals high poise damage will stun them for a free power hit or two. Just roll back after that and repeat. They are quite easy even at NG+
