Tips for dodging nameless king's falling bolt attack?

[Finnfinity]

It's this attack that is similar to his weapon's weapon art, where he charges his weapon and then unleashes lightning. I can never consistently dodge this attack, even when I roll spam. This attack 1-shots me on sl1, or at least takes away my tears of denial, so I should really be prepared for that attack

Unlike the actual WA theres a delay on his attack that will get you if you roll spam.
Wait like half a second after he uses it and then roll.

Same with the lightning on Bayonetta . . not really hard, just have to pay attention to delay and dodge on time.

I believe there is an audio cue for when the lightning starts to fall.

This, also the timming.
Exact same thing happen in Bayonetta but it happen quite a feel times at the beginning of the game and you have to do it to proceed as when you make it right you get the slow time magic that allow you to cross certain parts or it activate magic floor so you can run through the "air" being able to cross big distances (at certain area you have to do it twice, once for slow time magic and another time to create the floor).
Kind of hard when you are not used to it, become natural to the point you get amazed when you start to miss it.
