How to Get Ultimate Weapons

How to Use Sword

Use Strong Attacks Depending on the Number of Normal Attacks

Although the sword doesn't have a special system, it is a weapon that uses strong attacks based to the number of normal attacks. Even if the situation changes while attacking opponents, the protagonist can continue his turn depending on the timing of his strong attack, which makes it a powerful weapon.

Build Up Bravery Using Consecutive Attacks, Parries, and Evasions

With the sword, the protagonist just needs to keep attacking opponent and building up Bravery. With Bravery, the protagonist can deal more damage with follow-up attacks after combos, and he can use battle arts to launch counter attacks.

How to Increase Bravery

Parry and Attack Consecutively During Duels

During duels, the basic strategy is to parry and then perform consecutive attacks. Parry the opponent's attacks and then launch a combo to deal damage.

How to Parry and Block

Use Battle Arts After Launching Opponents

After doing a combo, launch opponents into the air, then follow up with a battle art to deal more damage.
