Killing the devout with wraiths + shadesoul saves 0.3 over ddark + shadesoul. Does have a bit more risk if the devout backs up, if it backs up after 2 hits you can recover with another wraiths or ddark, but if it backs up after just 1 hit you kind of just cry. I was only getting the backup about 10% of the time though, so probably still worth. Highly recommend vsync for this, with in game cap of 150 I was getting 2 hit wraiths (without devout backing up) 20-30% of the time, but switching to vsync I got no rng missed hits.
idk who needs this, here are fireball ranges in the wk arena, for when you need to be sure you're hitting the offscreen guy, use the central background pillar to orient yourself and stick close to it
by cdashing the first part with the singular duranda, you make it to the next part so early in the cycle that you have time to dash into the wall to set your cdash on the correct height to dash over the ledge and still get the fastest cycle makes it very easy, saves about .7-.9 over the most common strats
