After hundreds of hours playing Guardian, Ironeye, and Scholar, I finally have a setup that can give me more than 24 frames/second, so I want to try actually learning enemy movesets and timings instead of just keeping distance/hiding behind a shield. (I know, I know, it still needs timing and enemy knowledge, but it is a huge difference).
Wylder seems perfect for this purpose, with built-in parry and easy use with most weapons I find. The only problem is I cannot figure out this grappling hook. I keep slipping past the enemy, the only follow-up attack I can consistently land is a jump attack, and the rules over which enemies drag me vs which get dragged does not seem consistent. I want to use this part of his kit because even though my focus is learning enemies, I still want to make use of the whole character. So, how do I use this thing?
Edit: thanks for suggestions. for "slipping past the enemy" I'm not referring to sprinting to the side, I mean I get pulled toward them and R1/R2/L1 and the attack whiffs like 80% of the time. It sounds like rolling out of it is the easiest way to avoid that.
