I have been soloing lupi with a warrior for a while now (mostly having him on wall), this is due to when fighting him on open field i find i only succeed maybe 50% of the time. I have watched videos of pro players soloing it and i find that my timing compared to theirs isn’t off at all. Despite this, on phase 3, i constantly will get hit by at least 1-2 frenzied blast, or his life drain (when he opens his mouth) will hit me in between my whirlwind/dodges. This made it so when fighting on open field i am always in a struggle praying that he doesnt go relentlessly with frenzied blast or i will end up with barely any life left.
I constantly play with 300-400 latency (living in Australia) so i understand why despite having the same timing as other players, i will always get hit by SOMETHING, but i also don’t want to rely on wall too much because of this.
I want to ask for advice as to how to compensate for the latency issue so i can consistently solo lupi on open field.

I play with 200-300 ping and I feel your frustration, for Frenzied blast I found he tend to reposition himself before doing it, it is not 100% accurate but it get my attention. Other than that there isn’t much we can do about it, keeping him on the wall is probably your safe bet, even though it’s cheesy.
Here’s an example of the repositioning (sorry it’s a guardian video XD)
Also I keep my whirlind for Frenzied blast rather than getting out of his Like Drain AoE attack because this way I don’t get hit between 2 dodges or between a dodge and sword block, I only get hit once maximum at the beginning.
I average 280-300 ping as well and I find that for phase 3, I don’t have issues off wall unless I run out of swiftness or he’s close to the wall but not quite on it. If he’s close to the wall, then when you try to dodge out of his rapidfire radius you might not have enough room to get out of the way. If you DO fight him off the wall, try to have him far enough off of it so that you have room to work with.
Also something that you should be aware of is how important it is to maintain swiftness. It is absolutely essential for properly soloing him off-wall. If you fail to maintain swiftness then if you try to position yourself out of his rapidfire you’ll probably end up getting bubbled at some point.
Other than that there’s little anyone can suggest for you other than to adapt to your latency problems and dodge accordingly. Also make sure you’re using lifesteal on crit foods— no shame in using those as they’re great.

thats good advice, i use the 25% movespeed trait but i guess i should sub out for the swiftness on crit trait. lifesteal foods i can also see having some uses.
6 (V IX XI) 5(I X) 0 0 3(VI) and I use >>>THESE<<< to maintain swiftness. It takes some time getting used to using these but I think it’s worth it. For your purpose, it might be better to just use the same traits but swap Arms I to II instead. If you do that you won’t ever need to worry about running out of swiftness during the fight again but you’ll lose out on a bit of precision… and with 65003 you want as much precision as you can get
If you aren’t already doing so, try using eviscerate when you feel low on energy. Also camping greatsword makes life alot easier. You have the option to swap at any time for an extra bar of energy and riposte. A constant swapping greatsword/axe rotation actually seems alot tougher on energy.
I played that game just for the character personalities.
