I find Filia's SA to be very technical. I think I've pulled it off twice in total, and both times by accident. I pretty much always find it more consistent and helpful to just block. But with the new gold Windswept Filia, there is more focus put on the use of this ability. So I'm hoping Filia experts can share some hints and ideas on how to best utilize the Evade ability.
Thanks!
Hm, a good tip is mainly about your timing. For example, the easiest to use evade is when Cerebella is about to use Diamond Dynamo (The one with multiple hits from her hat?), if you're spaced a wee bit before the first hit, swipe like hell away from her and it counts as an Evade!
Evade should mainly also be used for moves you can anticipate. Some of the easiest are the charged moves, dash moves (You'll have to swipe twice back) and close combat moves (I.E, evading before a Cerebella can use Diamond Drop on you since you're in range)
I'm not sure though that if you do gain evade though her SA from projectiles,
that would give you the boosts or it's just a little "bonus" for her but honestly, once you get more aligned with evading moves, you'll see it more like throw breaking the opponents and get into the rhythm of it!
Just make sure not to confuse Filia's evade for someone who doesn't have it! (AKA: Me who thought I was playing Filia when I was playing Valentine lol)
