Against a sword master, defend through the full combo instead of trading blows. When the opponent's stance drops or their weapon gives the described faint glow, use a strong single-target skill, then reposition to avoid a follow-up.
- Defend or parry until the enemy finishes its combo.
- Watch for the recovery cue: a lowered stance or faint weapon glow.
- Use your strongest single-target skill during that opening.
- Reposition after the attack to prepare for the next exchange.
If you miss the recovery window, return to defense and wait for another opening rather than forcing an attack.

Good guide for Dawn's Edge players. The strategy part was useful.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Dawn's Edge articles next.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
