Best Strategies to Defeat Enemies

Essential Tips
Do A First Strike Dodge and Counter Use Bros. Attacks Press the Buttons at the Correct Time

Do A First Strike

Starting a battle with a First Strike can give you a head start and even weaken some enemies before the fight truly begins.

To perform a First Strike, try to jump on or hammer an unsuspecting enemy as you encounter them in the overworld.

How to Do A First Strike

Dodge and Counter

To effectively dodge and counter, watch each enemy’s unique attack patterns to understand when and how they’ll strike. Some attacks are best avoided by jumping, while others call for a well-timed hammer counter.

Timing is crucial and dodging too early or too late can lead to unnecessary damage, so stay alert to avoid hits and retaliate immediately.

How to Dodge and Counter

Use Bros. Attacks

Use Bros. Attacks whenever you’re overwhelmed by too many enemies, facing a particularly strong foe, or dealing with high-defense enemies that are hard to damage with regular attacks.

Press the Buttons at the Correct Time

In the game, timing is key for achieving critical strikes, whether you’re using Bros. Attacks or Attack Combos.

Each move has a specific rhythm, and pressing the buttons at the right moments can trigger a critical strike, dealing extra damage.
