I have a confession. I cheesed the hell out of the first Seven Spears on my first playthrough with the ledge. On NG I also had issues with him so cheesed him again and just planned to tackle him later. I didn't realize there would be a second one later on as I did Shura first play through. Well get to the second Seven Spears and waste a ton of time and sugars trying to puppet the general and trying to cheese by jumping on his noggin. Decided that I'll just die a lot learning his mechanics vs cheesing and damn if I didn't kill him first try doing actual combat. He was much easier to time deflects and mikri counters that I had expected. I will gladly give credit to the game teaching me how to play. Now I'm stoked for NG to face this guy and his first counterpart again.

Now to finally get comfortable with the drunkard bosses so I don't have to hit and run.
