[list]
[*]Each spike is treated as an attack. 0.50 of a second isn't quite fast enough for Bloodbayne to miss each shot if he is still in control of them or guiding them.
[*]The remaining energy to guiding them and accuracy must be accounted for, but the continuous stipulation of the energy drain allows Xavier to guide his attacks.
[*]Sarah successfully blocked the first attack; however, each spike must be treated as an attack to readjust their trajectory otherwise they'd miss as Sarah suggested.
[*]Since they are stilled "guided" by Xavier they are not treated as part of a combo chain, and thus mitigating the first attack doesn't ensure subsequent other attacks from the same cluster of spikes will be properly evaded.
