Defensive order
Start with blocking when you are unsure. Once you recognize a telegraphed heavy, practice parrying instead of rolling away.
Dodging is best for repositioning or avoiding attacks that break your defensive rhythm.

Block, parry, dodge
Combat basics
Apostate Verity punishes panic inputs. Use block for safe pressure, parry clear tells, and dodge only when spacing matters.
Quick checklist
- - Block when unsure, parry clear tells, dodge to reposition.
- - Short punishes are safer than long strings.
- - Do not heal until the enemy animation has fully committed.
Input discipline
Do not mash attack after every opening. One or two clean hits are better than losing your recovery window.
Use the tutorial enemies as practice reps before treating the Tree Boss as the real exam.
