Looking to get into Estival Multiplayer? Need to know how much damage you can take? Want to know who can cancel with what easier? Looking for the perfect counter for Mirai stagger-loops? It’s all here!
What’s Poise? Poise is how much damage you can take before staggering. Basically a health bar for your stance. (Too, nothing about poise is shown anywhere in the game.)
A “Dash Repeat” is a trick I like: of pressing the dash and jump buttons in quick succession to dash-cancel and prevent yourself from dash-attacking, looping back to the first move in your combo. It’s an especially good trick for Mirai, Sayuri, Homura, and Haruka.
