Hi Te-ano, I was just watching your AB GPZ fight to see how you handle the following 2 things: 1. The minions (they are harder than AB Collector's to me because they don't bunch up for a nice hop + Shade Soul, especially the hopping ones) 2. Bad "balloon" spawn positions (08:24 is an example of what I mean - if I was playing in that scenario instead of you I would definitely have gotten hit) Also, congrats and thanks for uploading your win so I can try to learn from it lol (as a sidenote I still struggle to beat AB GPZ consistently hitless, AB Collector hitless felt easier to "master" imo).
Hi! 1. Minions are def annoying. To kill them fast, you can: - charge Nail Arts and Great Slash them (only truly useful when there are 2 or 3 flying ones cuz they bunch up), - use Shriek (only useful to kill flying ones. Also, be aware that Shriek can do weird knockback if you use it while minions are still in spawning animation), - use DDark (when flying ones are close to the ground), - upslash twice when hopping ones are going to land after a jump (the 1st uplsash is pushing them up which allows you to do another upslash before they land which is useful to kill them fast and not having to deal with horizontal knockback). Obviously, you should better kill them as fast as possible or else they'll corner you in bad situations. 2. Bad balloon spawn is probably the most unfair thing that can happen in this fight. They should never spawn right on you (most of the time, we are just running into them and end up having no time to react). Hence the only thing you can do is trying not to move when GPZ is summoning balloons. Also, if one balloon appears, most of the time it's safe to stay close to it cuz they rarely spawn close to each others. One more thing: most of the time, we make mistakes because we use Dash too often. Using Dash should only be a last resort. Try to play the fight without using Dash too much. Staying close to GPZ is much more safe (running away triggers weird long jumps from GPZ) and use Dash only when absolutely needed. I hope it'll help. Don't hesitate to DM me on Discord if you want to discuss more about it. Good luck on whatever you plan to do!
