Free update part 2-additional characters that can be used

On the order of Oni Mai Tsuji, together with Zhu Samaru, attack Tanjirou and others who came to Asakusa. A ghost with eyes in the palms of both hands can use blood ghosts to manipulate arrows and use this to manipulate directions.

Combat characteristics

Yawayu is good at using arrows for long-range combat. The arrow itself has no offensive power, so in order to attack the opponent, you need to hit the opponent with the arrow and knock it down to the ground, or attach the arrow to the rock to make it fly around to inflict damage on the opponent.

Yapayu has “attacks that cause damage” and “attacks that do not cause damage,” so how to achieve combos with only “attacks that cause damage” is a very important key. Use “Attack that does not cause damage” to keep a distance from the opponent to create an attack opportunity, and then use the “Attack that causes damage” as the center to make a combo to hit high damage!

An example of skillful use of Yawayu combos

  • Move (one) (△・until additional input)> move (two) (→△)> move (one) (△・until additional input)> move (two) (→△)>special skill (one) ( L1)
    Special skill (1) when used for continuous attacks, because of its high minimum damage value, it is suitable for the end of the combo.
  • Move (two) (→△)> move (one) (△・until additional input)> move (two) (→△)> move (one) (△・until additional input)> move (two) (→ △)>Special skill (II) (→L1)>Special skill (一)(L1)>Origin (R2)
    The part of moves and special skills can be adjusted according to the residual capacity of the scale. Although the number of times the amount can be expressed to full capacity is limited in actual combat, even if the number of moves performed is not many, it can still cause quite high damage.

An example of skillful use of Zhu Samaru’s combo

  • Moves (parameter) (R1+△)>Tracking and running ()>air attack (□)>>air attack (→□)>(landing)>general attack (□>□)>movement (parameter) (R1+△・long Press)>Tracking running()>Air attack(□>□)>Movement (one)(△)
    A combo that starts with a powerful assault (see Ref.).
  • Moves (parameter) (R1+△)>>General attack (□>□) Special skill (2) (→L1)>Air attack (on the ground) (→□)>(landing)>General attack (□>□) >Movement (parameter) (R1+△・long press)>General attack (□)>Movement (II) (→△)>Origin (R2)
    The move (two) in front of the Uuyi must be performed when it is close to the opponent, so it is recommended to push the left stick in the direction of the opponent while launching it. Her agile movements are also noteworthy features.
