Her shots were doing nothing and she needed to come up with a plan B, fast! Her weapon was powerful enough to melt through the beskar armor but only with concentrated fire, but the droid was moving too fast to achieve this precision alone. In truth, she'd never fought a droid quite like this before, and encountered only a few Sith during the war.
It appeared to be a mixture of many advanced forms. The stance with which "Cole" wielded the saber reminded her of the Samara 's pike techniques, but the way he jumped from the wall was similar to her own Mandalorian martial arts. Now it had bladed feet that were almost animalistic. Trying to feel out her opponent was turning into a nightmare! He must make for a valuable bodyguard indeed.
Luckily, Tae'l's own fighting style was equally obscure. Though it incorporated some well known Mandalorian technique, it had developed around her own unique needs for a near-lifetime.
Perhaps it was brutish, true. But was it effective? She'd soon find out.
She knew that the only way to defeat this thing would be to chip away at it little by little. They could go for hours if needed- certainly the mechanical body of her foe could- but it would have to be death by a thousand cuts. Starting with the legs, which would likely slow the droid down to her speed or at least give her some small reprieve.
With a newfound determination, She lurched forward with her shield up, angling it to parry the lightsaber away from herself while opening a shot with her smart-rope at the droid's upper legs, which would hopefully wrap around at least one of the thighs so that she could throw it off balance by jerking the "rope" with the a strength enhancing Crushgaunt.
If the gambit paid off, it had the potential to open the droid's defenses long enough for Tae'l to land more shots into Cole's knee with a hope to weaken it for future attacks.
To achieve this, She abruptly leapt back a few paces with her jetpack, using the inhuman strength of her crushgaunt to pull the rope with her, gambling on that desperate bid to knock him off balance.
