Prepare to Face Hordes of Enemies in Outposts
As part of the Musou or Hack-n-Slash genre, and like its' predecessors, Age of Imprisonment will put more mobs around the player in several zones called Outposts that you will have to defeat to progress. Expect more combat over this game than your usual Zelda title!
Capture Outposts Indicated in the Map
Part of the game's mechanics involve controlling
outposts in the map, allowing you to have more map control, which is your ultimate endgame for most of the areas in the game. Capture Outposts by taking down mobs, eliminating their bosses or by doing objectives.
Prioritize Stronger Enemies in Combat
Dangerous Stronger-type enemies are presented in the overworld with a special health bar, a weakness gauge and a red glow for some of their attacks. Prioritize them whenever they are in the map and whenever you are ready, as taking them down will make outposts easier to capture or may even skip some combat sections entirely!
Avoid Getting Mobbed by Enemies
Move constantly in combat to avoid getting swarmed by enemies! This is the easiest tip to avoid losing fights in hack-n-slash games, so keep on attacking and avoid having downtime with your offense!
Cast Unique Skills in Combat to Counter Enemies
Use your characters' Unique Skills whenever you are presented the chance to, especially to counter against dangerous enemies to immediately turn the tide of combat! Watch your opponent's moves to see when they would be most effective.
Use Effective Elements
Other than unique skill attributes, elements can also be used against enemies with a weakness to them. Using an element or attribute that the enemy is weak to will allow you to expose its Weak-Point Gauge. Depleting this gauge will then allow you to perform a Weak-Point Smash to deal a lot of damage.
Elements Explained: How to Exploit Enemy Weaknesses
Block and Dodge Attacks Whenever Possible
The game allows you to Block by holding the ZL button, allowing you to mitigate attacks that connect with your character. You can also dodge by pressing the B button.
If you manage to execute a perfect dodge, you will be able to performa Flurry Rush, which allows you to hit the enemy multiple times without fear of getting hit back.
Use Sync Strikes on Crucial Moments
Perform Sync Strikes by pressing the L button whenever two nearby characters have their sync gauges full (shown in the character screen on the left). These attacks are powerful finishers that can obliterate mobs or deal massive damage to boss enemies.
Switch Characters Around to Master their Combat
Press the D-Pad buttons to switch characters around! Make sure to frequently do this in combat to make sure you get a feel for how they play, allowing you to master their moveset and be in-tune with their attacks.
