Katarina's sword dance was impeccable.
Sometimes heavy, sometimes fast.
Her ever-changing sword dance can deal with a variety of opponents.
If there is a problem, it's Katarina herself using the technique.
"You must have felt so in yesterday's combat, but you are not using your skills duly."
No matter how excellent a technique is, if used without thoughtfulness, it is worse than a run-of-the-mill horizontal slash used at the opportune timing.
The sparring between Katarina and Neria the day before yesterday was staunch proof of that.
Katarina jutted out splendid sword dance moves from beginning to end, no doubt, but she couldn't even scrape Neria's skin. On the other hand, Neria subdued Katarina with minimal movement, not even her brilliant skill set at use, even throwing away her shield and sword.
This is the difference between knowing how to use your skills properly and not to.
"There's nothing better than gaining experience through actual combat to get the gist of it."
