Need help: foresight slash -> Roundslash not working

[Sir-Torian]

Can anyone help me.
I am am playing on PC - and i try to fill my spiritmeter with the
thrust -> foresight slash -> Spirit Roundslash combo
But instead of filling my bar with FS, it depletes it, so i cant follow up with Roundslash.

Did they change it or am i doing something wong?

Are you making sure the monster connects an attack/roar during the animation? If it doesn't hit you during the counter, nothing will happen and the gauge will drain.

If you timed the counter right, you'll get a audio and visual que. Afterwards you can land the roundslash if the monster is within in reach and level up your bar.

I guess thats it - i am testing it in the training ground.
Thanks alot :-)

yeah it does not work in training area

Two things are required to have your gauge fill.
1. Dodge an any type of damage or roar(not sure if frog work)
2. Hit something (some dead body counts) when going back to the new location

For the gauge to get to the next level just continue the move and land the round slash

[Nope]

Foresight slash is a counter move, it only fill up your spirit gauge and enable roundslash only when you successfully dodge an attack/roar within the i-frame

Training area works. Try to dodge the bomb and reposition yourself to land the second half of the foresight slash on a nearby barrel

Dodging an attack won’t fill the haulage, you will also have to land the second part of the foresight slash

If you want to test it in the training ground you can poke the barrel bomb and use that explosion to get the timing.

[!?!]

You need to actually dodge an attack, then hit the monster with the foresight slash which fills your meter and then you can press R2 right away to skip the entire spirit combo and do the roundslash.

Yeah forgot that part, was going to edited into a connected foresight slash but didn't bother

[!?!]

By the way if you start out, you should practice fade slash and forget about foresight slash.
Fade slash is your bread and butter combo chain, you can use it to move into a position where you never have to dodge attacks in the first place.

Forget about the foresight slash, forget about the helmsplitter. Those are just situational.
Just fade slash and the spirit combo is all you need to longsword, fade slash also shortens the combo so you should always initiate with it.

If you don't use it, your combos will be slow and clunky and you'll think stab slash stab slash into the full combo or foresight slash is all you can do to generate spirit.

Quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.
