The charge slash is like, the number one method of dealing damage in the game. Ideally you will hit the enemy with one every time they are vulnerable. There are a few guidelines, however: There is no way (that I know of) to cancel out of having an attack charged. So you want to wait to start charging it until you know that you dont need to shoot or parry. There is a delay between when you start charging a slash and when you can dodge, so it is always better to start charging your dodge first. This goes double in close combat. Edit: thats a lie: starting to charge a slash will cancel an already charging dodge. You can start charging a dodge while you charging a slash, however. A fully charged slash has incredible range. You can go basically all the way across the arena to get a stun. Getting hit by a projectile cancels both your dash charge and your slash charge. Edit: also, the slash charge is actually fully charged right before the big effect that tells you its fully charged. So once you get a feel for it, you can squeeze in stuns quicker than it sees like you can at first. This run is a bit sloppy, I do some extra shooting and I get hit like six times, but this video (5 mins) shows the strategy I used to get my first S rank on the first boss. https://youtu.be/y7Dxq1yfdNs Snak fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jul 16, 2016 |

Yeah I was kinda surprised at how powerful the charge slash was considering it's the only move that isn't shown in the tutorial. Whenever I get a knockdown I usually charge one up

Whenever I get a knockdown I usually charge one up It's shown on the "how to play screen". In close combat, you should boost every time you get a knockdown. The trick is that you might have to parry immediately after boosting sometimes, and I loving suck at that. But a boost into a charge attack in close combat is most if their bar, if it doesn't finish them. The charge shot is the weakest mechanic, because targeting most bosses with it just causing them to dodge cancel and its a waste of time. Its really handy in a few situations though.

I watched the how to play tab but I never figured out how to use the charge slash properly. so I just got really good at parrying and the 4-hit combo instead. I probably abused the charge shot to my detriment but it feels really good to get one off on a bossprecision posted:the game in general has a Suda51 feel. it's a crazy game and it owns. I got this vibe as well

In Training posted:The game is fairly easy from what I've played but I hope the hard mode is trickier. well maybe not because I don't like the parts where the boss is invincible and you just have to wait for them to get hit and they could lean into that heavily on hard mode. On the 6th boss So far I don't find it easy because the parry timing is really really weird to me~! I can never parry at the right time based on reaction But it's a fun game. I think it needs a bit more tuning to be on the level of the stuff like Bayonetta gameplay wise (it's really not the same type of game even if it sorta looks it) but the style is totally there and it gets intense

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:So far I don't find it easy because the parry timing is really really weird to me~! I can never parry at the right time based on reaction It's tricky because you have to learn the enemy's attacks. You can never parry before the flash, but there are some attacks with long delays between the flash and the strike and you can parry too soon if you hit it right when you see the flash. Each boss is different. It's very useful to learn what stance signals that they are done attacking, because by time you have waited to see if there's another flash, your attack window has probably closed.
