I still have to wait for my game to arrive, and God knows how long it will take for that to happen, but i hope i get this week still.
Hmmm... You have 3 stances, besides affecting your attacks, they also affect your dash/dodge/roll button, Low stance will allow you to do consecutive dashes, medium stance will give you a roll after one dash, and high stance will always give you a roll, keep in mind that on pressure situations.
Learn how to properly use your ki-pulse, and that not only means how to time it right, but also when not to use it.
You can snipe enemies with bows or guns from a distance to make encounters more manageable.
Pay attention to the Ki bar of your enemy as well as yours, and you can drain the Ki of Yokai.
