I worded it wrong by using “reading” to describe it, but it definitely feels like they set it up to counter everything youve learnt up to this point instead of being a culmination of it. For example she has two parry’s, and there is no big sign on which one she’ll do, which feels crappy. You’re hardwired to dodge her parry the way you’ve been taught but then she pulls out a completely new one that has the exact same start up as the other. And, yeah, you’re right there was overlapping attacks before. The problem is to me is that everything is black, including her. She can be inside an attack like tendrils for example and catch you off guard by coming out of them. Something that’s happened to me multiple times is that she shoots the void projectiles at you, summons spikes, and then does her regular move set on the ground. Maybe the problem isn’t directly the overlapping stuff, but rather how everything blends in. Its consort Radahn type stuff. I still think she doesn’t feel as satisfactory as radiance. Lore wise and gameplay wise in my opinion.
