The moment Lyona's feet sunk into the ground, the lioness almost immediately began to panic.
Thankfully, she had someone in her head, and technically in her hands, to act like a guiding voice on how she should adapt.

'Shit! I'm about to sink in. I need to move before I get taken out like how—'
[Don't panic,] Nepherage interrupted. [Think about how you can leverage this situation and reverse it to your advantage.]
'How can me getting my feet stuck in the ground be a good thing?!'
[Remember what I said about needing to swing me while keeping your feet as sturdy as possible, focusing on your hips?]
'What about it?!'
[You don't have to think about your feet if they're already stable.]
'...oh.'
...
[Drown in despair!]
When Gumba did this muddy floor trick on previous opponents, the first reaction many of them would have would be to panic and attempt to fly away from the situation as fast as possible.
