I think people are wrong it’s not the fact he is trying to get rid of them using the brute guy, I think it’s more that he is wasting movements protecting them from brute at least that is what I feel for now...
It’s just they are putting too many variables for him to concentrate on , he needs to dodge their attacks and bruties because let’s face it their charging in randomly ....Like that guy hesitating when his sword got stuck...Just freaking drop it man, it’s just a goddamn sword...
