Everyone who wants to win at PvP are going to use weapons that are either A. Overpowered, or B. They are extremely good with. Most people see that the Ice Rapier and the Warped Sword are great weapons to use, Even if they are a little bit too good. Advice for dodging them? Well, The Ice Rapier is surprisingly difficult to avoid. If you're low enough health to the point one hit will kill you, There isn't much you can honestly do. But, If you have enough health, rolling into the rapier's left side seems to bypass most of the damage, and get you behind the opponant. I don't seem to have a problem using this tactic to roll attack players who try to spam the RB (R1) attack on the Rapier. As for the Warped Sword, Honesty parrying it is easier thn it seems, It's just the timing for the sword is a little bit wierd.

As for Affinity. Roll into it as it is homing in. Again, Timing is crucial. It's got the same timing as Homing Soulmass, Though Soulmass fires faster. Dodging beneath it will cause it to hit the floor, and not do anything.
