Chaos Advent Counters (Staff | Lufenia) [SOPFFO]

A compilation of various Staff 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. Geocrush (1st Link): The staff has many attacks with jump properties and abilities can change if held. Geocrush can act as a simple and quick punish but the held variant is a jump attack with decent range. It can be used to jump over attacks such as Spiritual Sword and Fiery Hold while also dealing damage on descent. It is required for the Knight's Gambit punish which will cause Chaos Advent to move past you and turn back around. Aerial Blast (2nd Link): An attack with strong forward movement and jump properties that trades movement for longer air time when held. Can be used horizontal attacks such as Spiritual Sword or the roundhouse kick in the second phase, as well as the ice shuriken attack. Flash of Steel (3rd Link): A strong attack used as a punish when performing any slam attack counters or when Chaos Advent buffs himself. The follow-up from the held variant can be used to 'catch' Chaos Advent if he dodges before his next attack. Deliverance (Held Link): A multi-hitting attack with movement properties and strong range. Can be used as a quick punish. Meteor Strike (After Parry Link): A multi-hitting attack with jump properties. This is useful as a general punish but also can be used to avoid follow-up attacks such as the lightning strike in phase 2. This move is necessary for the Knight's Gambit punish. Arcane Blade (Front Link): A strong attack that is can be used as a quicker and more accessible punish. Ignition (Back Link): An attack with strong range that hits in two parts. Very useful as a general punish particularly on isolated moves as it can catch any dodges Chaos Advent performs before he transitions into another attack. When used on the back link as a punish to Inferno, holding the input performs a gab closer which can cause Chaos Advent to whiff, opening him up to another punish.
