Learn rhythm before chasing damage
Many early defeats come from extending a combo after the safe opening has ended. Watch the complete enemy sequence, dodge with intention and treat one clean punish as progress.
A shorter reliable response is more useful than a high-damage sequence that only works when the enemy cooperates.
Use every system available
Spells, transformations, spirits and consumables are core combat tools rather than emergency shortcuts. Test them during exploration so their timing is familiar before a difficult encounter.
Explore when a wall stops teaching you
Repeated attempts are useful while you are still learning a new tell. When each run looks identical, explore another route, improve resources and return with a clearer plan.
