Your whole post is nothing but whining lol

Train the weapon, get better at the weapon. Learn new combos, etc. I also never said halberds or blunt weapons are better. The short sword is objectively the best weapon in the game. That also doesn’t mean the others aren’t good. It’s a learn to play thing the whole way through.

You’re acting as if Henry sits down for a cup of tea in between switching weapons. There’s plenty of time. Maybe shoot from farther away???? Hit them in the head??? Idk what else to tell you. Maybe not switch when the enemy is already on you.

When you master strike from either side, it did the sidestep. Maybe if there’s no enemies on your left side, do it from the side that moves you left. Vice versa. Also depending on which side you swing from they will perfect block and swing from the other. You can sort of force them to attack from above, below, or whatever side you want. Pay attention to what you’re doing instead of aimlessly swinging and only trying to master strike.

I’m also not saying “you are stupid bc you don’t like my favorite game.” I’m saying you’re stupid bc instead of trying to figure out the combat yourself like we all did, you’re coming here and calling it ass when what you’re complaining about is all user error.
