That, in a way, looks better, because you don't have the excessive frames. most people won't even notice them if you did have it that way because it's just an attack.

The cloak should move too, it's not made of concrete. Remember that the unit moves forward when it attacks, so the cloak should stay behind, because of inertia, then catch up.

You should focus on each single frame, every detail on it, one at a time, instead of trying to get the whole thing done quickly and coming up with a big mess as a result.

the main problems are that the cloak doesnt "swish" enough and that the blur for the staff lingers.
