No ability animation on The Ghoul

Kaymin_Mile

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE: First time against the Ghoul but I noticed there was no charge up or launch animation for his ranged attack. I went into deep wound because of an attack I never saw, even while watching the killer the whole time. There was no animation, just me taking the health state followed by a successful attack animation

PLATFORM: Xbox Series X

Update: after playing more games against him, it seems like The Ghoul is just a really buggy character overall.
