One opponent, one ruined courtyard. The Warden cycles through a cleave, a delayed overhead and a lunging thrust, and each one leaves an opening once it's over. Lock on, roll through the strike and answer with light or heavy blows.

Attacks and rolls cost stamina, and an attack can't be cancelled into a roll, so commit with care. Training mode turns off damage so you can practise the timing.
