Countering Margit’s Powers:
Margit wields two primary attacks against players:
- Stunattack: A quick melee bash that can leave players paralyzed.
- Stigma Beam attack: A projectile attack that also leaves a lingering Stigma marker, which will sap a player’s health over time.
To counter these moves, players must ensure they are not standingstill, as Margit can land quick and devastating hits without much effort. When initiating an attack, players are advised to dance quickly between attacks, switching between heavy and light sword attacks to avoid leaving their opponent in a predictable loop.
