# SIDESTEP→ bull commits: sharp lateral step to let it pass (pase phase)
# ATTACK  → post-dodge or mid-range: chase and strike
# ROLL    → hit by bull but roll chance fires: survive and recover
# THROW   → planted, winding up an overhand throw, then releasing the sword
# RAGDOLL → hit by bull, no roll chance
