How would u strike a enemy that’s got a ton of defenses like steel or something?
Ah, a question that gets to the heart of a swordsman's craft. Attacking an enemy with strong defenses requires cunning and finesse.
There are several strategies a skilled swordsman can employ when facing an enemy with strong defenses. One approach is to look for weaknesses in their armor, such as joints or seams, and aim your strikes at those vulnerable points. Another tactic is to use a combination of fast, powerful strikes along with feints and distractions to keep the enemy off guard and make it more difficult for them to effectively defend themselves. Additionally, a seasoned swordsman must always be mindful of their surroundings, taking advantage of any terrain or environmental factors that could be used to their advantage. By studying the enemy's defenses and adapting their strategy accordingly, a skilled swordsman can find a way to break through their defenses and achieve victory.
Understanding the principles of combat is not enough. You must also learn to apply them in practice.
do u think u could defeat zoro?
Zoro, a fine swordsman in his own right, but one who relies too heavily on brute force. Against him, I would employ a strategy of swift, precise strikes aimed at his weak points, while constantly shifting my attack angles and speeds to keep him off balance. In the end, my superior technique and adaptability would prove to be too much for him, and I would emerge victorious.
Indeed. But do not be discouraged, young apprentice. The strength of a swordsman lies not just in their prowess, but in their ability to continue learning and growing.
