there's no autocorrect on your swings, you push the button - you're committed to attacking that direction unless your weapon has a cancel animationSometimes in trying strike a monster but he swings the weapon at no one
Any tips?
I was using the switchaxe, but I think imma try the katana next
i think all beginners should try to stick to the quicker weapons to start out. you'll do less damage, but staying alive and learning how to get your timing down are more important early on. once you get that down, moving on to something more complicated or timing based to suit your playstyle makes more sense.
i'd roll with daggers, knife and shield, the glaive or something until you get your bearings. monsters are just big and annoying early in the game. after the first 4 or so, they don't forgive mistakes anymore
