Dodging Attacks And Refilling Your Mana
When getting attacked (this works well when facing more than one opponent), jump and use your shield rapidly. The attack will completely miss and you will refill your Mana. Do not do this with dragonflies and other flying enemies. It may work, but there is less chance of it working. For extra effect, while in the air press Attack. Since enemies are vulnerable when they attack you, they will get serious damage.
