Anyone else having issues landing the light attack into Ares special?

Squammo

I get the initial Dex, parry, parry done just fine, but that light attack always “misses” and I get smacked. Anyone experience this as well or have any advice?

the phase 1 and 2 special timing is a bit slower so it can sometimes not align

you have to do light attack while ares is attacking you with the spear

Don't do the light attack when the spear hits you, do it while it's in the air coming down

and dont accidentally use a medium like i do...

I did it twice in the first run, once in slow phase, once near the end somehow. Then next run, I missed the light attack like 6 times, so frustrating. So I'm late then if waiting for the the spear to hit, seems weird for it to be in the air. Seen People struggle with the final dex a bit too.
