Yeah, doing this itemless was tough, as it requires weaving through overlapping attacks, making sure your i frames line up and you don’t get caught in endlag. Side Kick may be a meme, but it’s definitely not free, lol.
A well timed sidestep can actually just i-frame the fire bolts (far as I remember they collide with you and just disappear instead of fazing through you and circling back) but getting the timing down on that is pretty rough and i'm not even sure you can do it if there are two enemies casting it at you simultaneously unless you make use of their loose tracking.
It’s possible I just never found the timing, but every attempt resulted in damage still being taken. It seemed to act more as armor against the spell, taking damage, but no stagger. (And of course, didn’t have No Guard equipped.) Then again, it might also be a Mastery thing? Could be at higher skill levels, Side Step gains Symbol dodge properties as well.
@@Re-Sonnance It's very tight, like you have to dodge almost as soon as it's about to hit you. Gonna double check this again myself though just to make sure i'm not spinning you some yarn lol.
