Avoid Enemy Heavy Attacks

Enemy heavy attacks are easily avoidable as the enemy will emit a yellow light when doing so. But be aware however that just because it's easy to spot, doesn't mean it's easy to avoid.

Time your parries and dodges when the enemy starts glowing. Master this, and you will have no sweat during the whole battle.

Parry For Your Life

Parry	L1
Perfect Parry	Time Your Parry with enemy attacks.

Most enemy attacks can easily be parried. You can do this by timing your parries on the enemy attacks, especially the heavy ones. After doing so, you can perform a Retribution to deal massive damage.

Perfect Parry

Attack While Brute is Fighting Tachy

While the Brute is busy fighting Tachy, this is the perfect time for you to land your attacks, preferably at the back of the enemy but make sure to stay away after landing just enough hits as Brute will be focusing its attention to you if you don't stop.
