Watch the boss wind up
Leave some space when you enter the boss room and watch which way the boss faces and how it winds up. Start with the mantis boss in Amberwood Trail. When a circle or strip appears on the ground, check whether your feet are inside it.

Step clear of the marked area
Pause your attacks when a warning appears and take the nearest way out. Moving up or down is usually quicker for a long horizontal strip. For a circle, cross its edge. Wait for the attack to finish before moving back in.

Counter during recovery
Move in during recovery and start with a short basic combo or a quick skill. Get ready to leave at the next wind-up. Once you can dodge consistently, try fitting in a longer move.
