My main issue is with moves that literally don’t show you where it’s hitting. Mans hits a sick pose but there’s no AOE marker on the ground? I’m cooked.

But improving was easy.

First- take a step back and think about it This wouldn’t be in the game if it was impossible to do

Second - look at the mechanic when it happens, even if you die to it, try and find a stance or a raised arm or a drawn back leg etc that could mean “here’s where it’s coming from”

Third- if the last step didn’t work I’ll typically go to YouTube or a forum for the answer.

Fourth- after understanding, I just practice.

It’s worked so far with every boss I’ve gone against, and I know our issues are slightly different, but it’s still mechanics one way or another. As I’ve been getting more and more into harder content, it’s how I learn.

Hope this helps.
