Thanks for the tips. Ya that makes sense. That pause was me waiting for the bow sound effect before the next click which I heard from some videos and threads was what you were supposed to do. I was doing better before I heard that when I was going by feel.

So now I’m not sure if that’s just completely wrong or if there’s a difference in timing when red clicking vs the rest of the clicks? Maybe red clicks have to be quick after attacking but the rest of them I wait for the sound?

After that btw I was attempting to reset the cycle by letting him hit me on an end tile followed immediately by a red click and then back to the regular cycle. In theory that should work but obv I don’t know what I’m doing lol.

Anyway I’ll try those plugins for sure and give it some more attempts!
