How to Use Swordfighter Peach

Fight your way through enemies as Swordfighter Peach with a combo of slashes and time your dodges to enemy attacks to launch powerful counterattacks.

Combos

There are two combos that you have in your arsenal as Swordfighter Peach. A 3-hit combo from a standing position to beat up immobile enemies and a 4-hit combo while moving to stay mobile while attacking.

Dodge and Counter

For certain enemies, you are able to dodge them and do a counterattack. You will know it's the right time to dodge when there's a spotlight on an enemy as they are preparing to attack. For larger enemies, dodging their attacks such as shockwaves will also trigger the counterattack.
