Make Them Second-Guess Their Counterplay:
Your opponent’s hesitation is a direct result of the conditioning process. They’ve learned to expect a variation or delay, but now they’re unsure about your timing. By suddenly returning to the basic combo or tactic that started the mind game, you punish that uncertainty.

Example:

If you had been following up a light attack with a heavy weapon art, but during the conditioning phase, you switched to a quick spell, you can now switch back to the weapon art at the moment they think you’re going for a spell. They might try to roll or retaliate too early, and you can land a crushing blow.

Exploit the Recovery Frames:
Another key point is recognizing when your opponent fails to react fast enough due to their overcorrection. If they’re waiting for a slower combo or spell cast, you can catch them in recovery frames from a previous dodge or block. Reintroduce the original move when they feel comfortable waiting or preparing their counter.

Example:

After conditioning your opponent to dodge your Glintstone Pebble and land a counterattack, suddenly cast a slow, high-damage spell like Comet Azur. Since they expect a quicker cast and have been conditioned to dodge earlier, they’ll likely miss their roll and take the full damage.

Timing Is Key
Timing is the essence of reintroducing the original pattern. The goal is to strike when your opponent is most vulnerable, which happens after they’ve overthought your move. They’re second-guessing themselves, unsure if you’ll attack or wait, and that’s when you return to your tried-and-true strategy.

To use this tactic effectively, it’s important to observe their behavior during the period of hesitation. Here are some signs that the time is right:

Hesitation in Movement: If your opponent is standing still or moving cautiously, it's a clear sign that they are unsure how to counter you. This is the perfect moment to reintroduce your original attack.

Missed Dodges: If you’ve conditioned them to roll at a certain time, and you notice they’re hesitating or rolling too early or late, that’s the window where your original pattern will catch them off guard.

They’re Waiting for the Counter: If they’re trying to anticipate a follow-up or parry after a failed attack, reintroduce your initial pattern when they’re waiting for an opening that no longer exists.
