Read this carefully:

• All attacks and spells are to be perfect timed unless stated otherwise.
• You should always equip something when you buy it unless stated otherwise.
• Fully missing any timed hits or timed blocks will drop your chain, and the damage numbers you see in these notes will not reflect what you’re getting in game.
