Keep an eye on the opponent: Be wary in the beginning if they have a spear, a Zweihander, higher aggro or higher AI. Always pay attention to Jupiter Blessing cards as they can easily decimate you without question. Some of these Blessing to be wary of are: Curse of Magicrate (look for half health) / Weapon Master / Reaction Boost / Dual Wield Master / AI Proficiency / Wild Animal / Attack Stance.
