So you can switch some things around on your xbox controller, not the triggers, start, menu or xbox button but you get the idea
So I switched the x and right thumb stick button. It's kinda fun for some it helps with counter guard breaks.
When I dueling I switch to locked on and I put B or feint at lb it frees up my left finger so I don't have to claw. So I only take my thumb off to hit Y.
