Summary: Fumbling with the mechanics on the way to Mako Reactor 1. The dynamic first boss.
---
This was a rough session. I got frazzled, panicking with the controls. So next time, I’m going to shrink things a bit for myself. Some things to focus on that feel like reasonable keystones:
1) Practice watching my ATB gauge. When my controlled character fills a notch, use it with a shortcut.
2) Usually attack after a successful block, when I’m less likely to get hit.
