===Comboing safely ===
When close to an enemy, it is often necessary to delay your second and third attack in order to stagger the monster. Hitting a monster when it is recoiling from a previous hit will not add any duration to its recoil animation, so if you attack as quickly as possible, it can often hit you after your second attack.

Some weapons leave you unsafe after the third attack: you will want to use a two attack combo unless you are certain the third attack will kill. This varies based on your battle speed, the enemy, and positioning, but this issue is particularly glaring with swords. Ending on a {{Attack|heavy|l}} can also be safer as it pushes the enemy back more than [[File:Normal Attack.png|16px|middle|link=Attack#Normal attack]][[Attack#Normal attack|normal]]/[[File:Extra Attack.png|16px|middle|link=Attack#Special attack]][[Attack#Special attack|special attacks]] (with a few exceptions).

You can feint an enemy to swing at the air, leaving his side/back safe for you. It is extremely useful against fast-moving monsters such as [[Melqueek]] and [[Del-D]], or a [[Delsaber]] that you want to hit in close combat. Know your safe combos and which weapons are efficient against which monsters.
