How to play
Open with Runic Cut, a basic attack and the inherited Runic Wave.
Keep Mana above 22 (the cost of Runic Cut).
Against packs, line them up and let the waves pass through them all.
Against bosses, the same cycle up close, parrying the attacks head-on.
Careful: enemies above or below you dodge the line of the waves.
