Lesson content
A sacrificial move is simply taking a hit to create an advantageous position. A sacrificial slash will pay for itself so long as you can land at least two attacks for every one you take, or if you can get out of a disadvantage.
Sacrificial Slash
Sending a slash into your opponent while they’re attacking you is a good way to reset the fight. There’s 2 main outcomes.
You land your slash and cause a flinch, automatically turning the fight into your Advantage.
Giving the opponent a massive charge. This will either cause a force massive or stop them from attacking you.
Sacrificial Block
When you find yourself inside of a barrage of slashes, and you know where your opponent will attack, you can simply give up a slash and cause them to recoil. Doing this strategy you IGNORE where the slash will land, and only focus on the sword shape and lead your block. The goal is to get a recoil, no matter what happens to you.
The main benefit to using this strategy correctly is you will AVOID getting a massive charge, allowing you to begin your attack the instant you see them recoiled.
