have you tried using magic or heavy attacks before they attack?

I have. Tends to work pretty well on regular enemies but for bosses it merely makes a dent and it feels like I either have the option of having my entire poise bar deleted and get a 90+ second stun, or having my entire health bar deleted and dying anyway. If the intent is that you're supposed to oneshot bosses before they can even hit you, I feel like the game might need better explanations as to the how.
