How to Play Corin
Corin Wickes is primarily played as a damage dealer and extending her chainsaw slash attacks by holding the Basic Attack which allows it to deal increased damage.
This will require you to leverage the downtime between enemy attacks to get as much uptime as possible, by dodging their attacks and attacking while the enemy recovers from their attack animation. By keeping an eye on the Daze bar of the enemy, you can predict when the target will become Stun, allowing you to initiate an attack, stun the enemy before they can attack you back, and then extend your attack for massive damage.
Thankfully, even if you do get hit, some of Corin's skills increase her resistance to having her attacks interrupted, while also taking less damage, making her playstyle more forgiving and less punishing when not played perfectly.
