- Overcomeing the Silver Warrior in Chapter 10
Basically all of the Silver Warrior's attacks can be blocked. If you move close to him, he will use an attack that is easy to get a synchronized block on. Just block the moment you see him attack, and it will probably be a synchronized block. Then, use the Direct Counterstrike combo while he is dazed, and repeat the process. Once your attack is finished, he will use the same strike as before, allowing you to block and attack almost indefinitely. This works at both the begin of the battle and after you get your magic back. While this does take slightly longer than magic-infused attacks, it is useful if you are trying to complete the trial and want to prevent Pan from healing. Basically, just get close, attack, and block.
