Tips and tricks
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- When you die, note exactly what killed you. The answer is usually one specific pattern, and fixing that one thing is worth more than "trying harder".
- Sound is a cue. Many action games telegraph attacks with an audio effect a moment before the visual one — play with sound on when you are learning.
