Elainr knew it was hard to transition back into a guard stance when she was using stabbing attacks without creating a window for her opponent, so she simply pulled her sword in and rolled sideways to avoid the thrown dagger.

As such, rather than hitting her head on, Elaine reduced the attack to nothing more than an annoyance bouncing off her side, deflecting as it grazed her. And thus she freed up her left hand, firing her lightning blasts again.
