This is a pretty fun fight that allows for a lot of aggression! Feel a little bad beating up my X2 main tho :p

Strategy:
Muzét has three counters: Sharpened Petals, Illusionary Charge, and Stun Blitz. Sharpened Petals and Stun Blitz are counters that are pretty easy to backstep. They also don't have a large vertical hitbox, which means aerial combos are very risk-free against Muzét. Illusionary Charge can be a bit tricky. The timing to backstep it is quite strange and it also puts her into a unique state after she uses this arte. Right after the arte ends, Muzét isn't really a physical object. I can hit her but I can also move straight through her so I need to make sure this arte doesn't mess with my positioning too much.

Muzét can be guard manipulated into using Seize Throw. I like to backstep this at the start for elongated staff. This is also extremely important in case she happens to go into OVL. When Muzét goes into OVL, she likes to use an arte called Elemental Hymn which shoots a bunch of homing projectiles. I couldn't find a way to dodge this arte, so the most consistent way to survive OVL was to guard manipulate Muzét into only using Seize Throw and backstepping all of them. I didn't get to show this off since she didn't enter OVL here, but I figured it was worth a mention!
