Sword masters aren't that bad if you take your time and handle them properly. If you just go in button mashing like crazy trying to rush through it then yeah, they're rough. But they've got nothing on those damn skeletons.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

Yeah, I've never had trouble with Sword Masters.

Skellie swarms (especially if they're on fire), though...

Funny enough I can deal with skeletons. they can be annoying in groups, but they are fairly predictable, and it's easy to manipulate their AI into doing what you want.

Swordmasters though are just too fluid and dont have enough telegraphing for their attacks, which themselves come out super quick.

And in a group? well shit.

Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

It's less that they're hard and more that the mobs can make it difficult to get much done without basically trading damage.

The Fire Skeletons are, however, a royal pain in the ass.

I dunno why I find the Swordies easier, despite their unpredictable telegraphing. Might be my subconscious Souls reprogramming of how I engage enemies.
