I can't really add much to what was already said. Maybe some kind of warmup animation before attacks (or any kind of hint) would've helped. Watering was nice, as it was a double-edge sword, but I don't think it was properly implemented, because all you needed to do was tap slightly to have a wet spot in front of you to block projectiles.
