The polearm bearing giant puppet moved a little bit and swang the bladed part of the polearm toward Weiss. Fortunately as the speed of this first attack was not very high, she managed to dodge it with her Fleet Footed Steps.
But the puppet did not stop or lose momentum at all and continued to attack her. The more it moved, the faster it started to become.
From this, Weiss guessed that this puppet had remained unmoved for a long time and because of that, it had became a bit sluggish. But now that it had started to move again, this sluggishness was slowly going away.
So Weiss decided to go on the offensive as quickly as she could. It was to her best interest to finish the fight as soon as possible. Dragging it out for longer would be very dangerous.
Bow and arrows were useless here so Weiss was only using the sword. The spear was still on her back but she did not take it out of the time being.
