Chaos Advent Counters (Mace | Lufenia) [SOPFFO]

A compilation of various Mace techniques that you can use against Chaos Advent that I demonstrated or was unable to show in the All Weapons Showcase. Read below for notes on each ability's function. Fiery Impact (1st Link): A quick punish. Not very noteworthy. Divine Strike (2nd Link): An attack with surprisingly strong movement. A speed buff is required to make it safe to be used as a counter against Chaos Advent due to the long startup. When Chaos Advent uses his ice shuriken move, you can Soul Shield it and use this attack to safely avoid Fiery Hold. This works in the second phase where it can also be used to cause Thunder to whiff, making it useful against any follow-up. In the case of Thunder, be aware of the follow-ups (I did not properly lab a counter). Lacerate (3rd Link): An attack that can be charged for extra damage (or use the charge as a delay). This attack has a lot of movement and can cause, or put you in positions that cause, Chaos Advent to whiff and allow for another punish. Prominence (Held Link): A very strong multi-hitting attack with great range and debuffs enemies. This can safely be executed after using a Divine Strike punish (see above). Shield Surge (After Parry Link): A useful attack with both a guard point and jump. Necessary for the Knight's Gambit punish. This can be used back-to-back without a Chain Cancel but requires alternating the timings on use. Parrying the first attack requires you to time activation with the second (allowing you to jump the lightning), the next attack activation must be delayed to parry the ice. The flurry requires you to parry and activate the attack as you land. This can be used to jump over and punish the ice shuriken follow-up from Ascension. Penitence (Back Link): This is a two-part attack that can be used as a quick punish. Being placed on the rear link, you you parry during the counter frames and with 400% Samurai will cause both hits to crit. Due to the high hitbox, if Chaos Advent jumps in the air to drop an ice shard as a follow-up attack, this move can be used to hit him while in the air.
