Practical use

Spines quick answer

Spines is a contact-punishment tool. It can support pressure clears and reflect-style routes, but it does not belong in no-hit attempts unless you are explicitly testing achievement counting.

Pair it with plating, recovery, and movement so contact becomes controlled risk instead of repeated damage.
