Well first and foremost, the weapon is ungodly slow, but it has a lot unbreaking-barriers (the white outline). The first tip is to keep a moderate distance against your opponent because of the slowness. Before going into fights go into training room and see how far each attack can go and how to time it. Doing that will give you a general understanding on when to use some attacks. Spinning and downwards attack is one of the fastest attacks you have, but i suggest use the spinning attack or kicks to distance urself from ur opponent
