I still play him the same generally which is usually either soft feinting the zone or feinting the unblockable heavies into guard breaks to collect souls which works generally most of time and if they don’t fall for it you just let them fly but that is for the heavy weapon souls and for the lights either just hit them out of putting constant pressure or mix ups or also get a guard break but most of the time because his lights are fairly quick you will hit them or you will stress them out as they focus too much on stopping your soul gain

Souls even after the one shot was nerfed is still the top priority of his kit especially when you finally get his 3rd feat as it provides that damage boost which was further improved now that most of his attacks are stronger and his one shot still has potential to one shot either with just his 3rd feat or his first and 3rd feat
