Introduction
This guide should have been out when the majority of the Sorrow guides dropped, but I procrastinated. With that out of the way, I shall be discussing the attacks of the Modern Warfare thanagers, as of now the only one is Camille Flage, and how to dodge them.
Movement Tips
Since I will be using a few terms that may or may not be what the techniques are called by most others, I will be storing them here (and I will put this is any future Have a Nice Death guides that I make).

1. Upperslash
What I call the "upperslash" is one of the most important techniques when it comes to dodging. It is performed by doing an up attack, simple. The height can also be increased by jumping when performing the upperslash. This is useful when trying to get high into the air or to dodge attacks that cover the entire ground.

2. Air combos
They have as much utility as they have combat, as they can be used to extend airtime. These are useful for lingering attacks or when there isn't enough safe space to land.
Disclaimer
The names of the attacks mentioned are not the official names, and are what I call them.
Camille Flage

Attacks:
  • Pounce: Camille will lunge towards Death 3-4 times, sometimes landing on the wall before returning to the floor, all while slashing her claws at the reaper. There are three different types of pounces. The first variant has more horizontal reach and Camille only slashes once, the second has more vertical reach and Camille slashes rapidly after landing, and the third type has Camille stall in the air before finishing her lunge in the direction Death is at, and can be the third and final lunge, but not always. All three variants can be dodged by either dashing towards Camille as he moves towards Death or performing a high upperslash to reach the top of the arena and executing an air combo to stay in the air.

  • Skeletal Song: Camille will spit out several bones in a curve moving upwards, with none of them being affected by gravity. This can be dodged by dashing through the bones as ground level or moving behind Camille.

Breakdown XI changes:
Camille's vertical pounce and Skeletal Song attacks summon waves of bone claws out of the ground, with the former sending them in the direction she is moving when she lands and the latter sends them in both directions when she screams. These are best avoided by going airborne.
The End
This is the last entry in the Handbook Guide series, for now at least. I will be continuing this series until every Sorrow, thanager, minion, and scythe has been covered.
