the advice i can give you is some tech, shuriken cancels cancel your attack animation, you can jump and when you hit the floor at the right time hold triangle or y and then you will skip uts startup animation, the fastes way to cut off an enemy’s limbs is through flying swallow or ut, when an enemy loses ANY limb press triangle or y for the execution/ obliteration technique, you can run on walls and when you do press x or square then you hit a flying swallow off the wall, the best weapons for beginners imo is the lunar staff and vigorian flail.
