Moveset → Counters

- Guarded Step: Don’t swing into armor; wait for the guard to drop on full dash end.
- Shock/Quake: Short hop to avoid the quake line, then land into the open lane.
- Lunge Feint: Hold your swing until momentum truly ends; greedy hits get clipped.
Recommended Loadouts
- Crests: mitigation or small sustain to smooth chip; minor mobility helps spacing.
- Tools: a quick thread to convert short recovery windows; consider a breaker for scrambles.
