01 / THE GUIDE

Character Style Survey

Play a short segment with each character, recording attack range, speed, and elemental options. Compare notes to decide which style aligns best with your preferred combat rhythm.

  • Swap characters after a few levels to compare how upgrades affect each style.

02 / THE GUIDE

Combo Chain Practice

  • Use guard‑crushes on heavily armored enemies to open them up.
  • Follow a guard‑crush with a lift‑off combo for a longer damage sequence.

Recruit Pairing Test

Deploy two different hired heavies in the same encounter. Observe how their attacks complement or overlap your main character’s moves, then adjust pairings for balanced offense and defense.

  • Pair a melee recruit with a ranged recruit for balanced support.
  • Check how different recruits complement your character against tougher enemy types.

Route Mapping

Revisit a district after unlocking a new move. Mark newly reachable paths and secret areas, noting any differences between day and night versions.

  • Return to earlier districts after unlocking new moves to discover hidden routes.
  • Explore a zone during both day and night to see its different visual atmosphere.

05 / THE GUIDE

Co‑op Coordination Drill

Team up with a partner and assign complementary roles—one focusing on guard‑crushes, the other on lift‑off combos. Track how coordinated attacks reduce enemy health compared to solo attempts.

  • Coordinate guard‑crushes with your partner for extended combos.
  • Use online co‑op to practice timing before tackling tougher bosses.
