Strategy & Tips

  • Transient Moonlight (light) is fast and catches rolls — use it as your primary
  • Heavy Transient Moonlight has high stagger but is more readable — mix it in
  • Running R1 into light Transient Moonlight is a devastating combo
  • Free-aim Stars of Ruin when opponents try to outspace your katana range
  • Most PvP opponents expect the weapon skill — mix in regular katana attacks to be unpredictable
