Reuploading because I slightly tweaked this strat by bleed infusing the rapier, and it's even more ridiculously fast. I use the Reduvia for the first 3 melee hits because the rapier will stagger Gideon in each instance and the strat will not quite work the same. This strat works because in the offhand, rapiers hit EXTREMELY quickly, and they have really excellent range. You can stagger Gideon out of literally any move before you can hit you, including his melee moves.
