Check your build before learning the fight

Public test build 87133 changed Lady of the Woods balance and stun behavior. Confirm your branch and build before copying a video route, because an older stagger loop may no longer work the same way.

Use a safe first-attempt plan

Spend the opening attempt identifying the end of each attack sequence. Punish once, then reset to a spacing where you can see the next animation. Do not turn a confirmed single hit into an untested full combo.

Save defensive tools for uncertainty

Use hardening when you have already committed to an attack and cannot safely reposition. If you are practicing Perfect Guard, isolate one readable attack rather than attempting it against every sequence.

Treat exact numbers as build-sensitive

The official notes confirm balance work but do not publish a complete move table here. This guide therefore avoids invented damage, health, or stagger values. Recheck the build label above when a new patch lands.
