And you've just died for it. When you have an agile opponent, rushing in is asking to be skewered. Powerful strikes take too long and are too obvious. Use the environment to your advantage, herd them towards a tight position.

There are trees, rocks, and bushes around. Even traps on the ground. My range is longer than yours, but you need to get close. Faint or cause a distraction - throw dirt in their eyes to blind for a moment, throw a sai. to distract.

[ And he moves off, picks up the dropped stick and makes space between them again. ]

Try again.
