Patience (attack skill)

Patience is not only timing, but also keeping yourself safe while your opponent moves. They may be dictating the speed, but the attacks just ware out your opponent while waiting for a counterstrike.

If they are struggling against your efforts, let them flail and use their energy. When they break and gasp for breath, it is your opportunity to explode.

This can also be used as a psychological warfare. If you are patient and calm while being attacked, it makes your opponent think you are not in danger, or that you have something up your sleeve.
