>What games is the combat similar to?
ds2 levels of gank mobs
every fight is markiona dual puppet gimmick
bloodborne rally (havent played nioh) but its your main source of heal

markiona my favorite boss fight concept this year so maybe that's why I'm enjoying the crowd control gimmick in this game more than other anons

don't focus on the puppet, but just stay aware of it
it doesn't attack when the cord is blue
instead of trying to attack when it's blue, wait for red, evade then punish
wait for the cord to turn red then block and dodge the puppet / attack markiona
I didn't use acid but kept the parry grindstone for when she does the golden fury
or you can dodge/run from the golden fury/explosion and punish markiona on the last attack
she has a couple of easy parries but for the most part you can just dodge or block and get the regain
