Strategy & Tips

  • L2>R1 (night comet): point at enemy, press buttons, enemy dies
  • L2>R2 (fire sweep): same thing but AoE, use against groups
  • That's it. Two attacks that solve everything.
  • Don't worry about buffs, stance switching, or complex combos
  • The weapon does the work — just manage your FP flask usage
