I rarely used charged attacks. The only weapons that really made sense for that were the ranged ones. I was also very annoyed that attacking at 95% would deal the same damage as at 5%, so you always had to wait for the click.

Besides, once you get the first magic with Undine, it’s ridiculously easy to stunlock enemies, even bosses, just time the magic right and boom, just don’t overdo because a “single attack” damage tops at 999
