Hahaha that was a damn cheeky fight. My extra prep didn't make any significant difference but i had lady luck on my side
Got lots of shield blocks in and managed a 3hit combo, followed by a 5hit combo, followed by a 4hit combo
I'll also note here that i used a little trick where if you swap items after casting a spell or performing an action, it bypasses the animation time. This way i can cure really quickly and resume attacking without having to wait for the delay time/animation time. Something i plan to abuse alot more
