In Punishing: Gray Raven, time your dodge to an incoming attack to trigger Matrix. Use the brief slowdown to reposition or attack while the enemy is less active.
Use Matrix after a well-timed dodge
Watch the enemy’s attack and dodge just before it connects. The draft identifies this timing as the trigger for Matrix, which briefly slows enemy time.
Once Matrix activates, choose one immediate action:
- Reposition if you need room or a safer position.
- Attack if you have an opening to use skills or Orbs.
Treat Matrix as a short opportunity, not a reason to stop watching the enemy. When the slowdown ends, resume responding to the attack pattern.
