Attack Animations

[Mumrah]

I played for a few minutes to test it out. I found that attack animations hold you hostage. Dashing does not solve this problem either. Many of them are so long, pretty much yelling, "Free hits!".

[Mumrah]

So you're saying you are stuck in attack animations.

I don't mind asking for help. I'm merely commenting on how you can not interrupt animations with a dash, or not inputting commands. A game where combos are a thing, being able to get out of your own attacks is important, especially when there are plenty of things to force you to move.

If the game is designed to be difficulty and the difficulty comes from the controls, that in my book is a failure.

It goes both ways, though, so it's not really that unfair, in the sense that the enemies are also stuck in attack animations. And then there are attacks that give you invincibility frames or ones that you can activate and keep moving, so it's really a matter of arcana choice.

Thing is you can cancel animations.

yeah you can cancel a lot of attack animations with ur dash and such but some cannot be cancelled, its mostly a playstyle thing like having a slow heavy attack vs fast light attack

yeah, some attacks dont let you, but most do.

You die and you learn. Took me 4 hours to finish the game this way. Just learn to get the best combo's and position yourself in places where you can damage alot of enemies. I like skills that have pushback in them. This will give you a bit of breathing room. And yes I do use arcana which locks you in place but you don't use them at the beginning.

Do you know which ones in particular? None really come to mind. Flame Breath Signature for instance is a long channel but is easily cancelled, and most other spells like Basics have such short frames you don't need to cancel the animation itself to dodge effectively.

Spiraling Typhoon used to be canceled with other Arcana, since sky palace it no longer does afaik. I could be wrong, changed pc and cant get controller to work anymore so could be pc.

some attacks you can roll cancel out of, others you can't. I really like the air basic spell cause it has a nice quick animation, that you can roll out between hits. I generally avoid anything that takes longer than about a second to fire off just because it's really not good in boss fights.
