Author's notes
Melee OP, sneak up on people in cat form and heavy melee them no one reacts in time with parry, then use rest of combo. In fights constantly bait people to parry they stun themselves and you can punch them after. Invade enemy sinners/jungle/sidelanes If you get a solo kill and then die to 3 people that rotated to you, good job you got more souls and created infinite space
