Tip,just for fun Leave one enemy alive after taking out a camp or patrol and use them as practice for parrys and dodges,then when your done use what you've learned and end them

I KNEW IT. The more I played the game the worse I got because I got used to using circle instead of x. I used x all the time to dodge in monster hunter so it took a while to get used to. But then I realized it was better in this game anyway now that my muscle memory is set in place ;-;

[@Frank-DuxVanDamme]

I like to change stances in the middle of combo. It's mind blowing with little practice. Breake their guard,change stance, hits - light/heavy,change stance, repeat. You can "circle" all stances during fight and it will give you new perspective of the game. If I can do it,you can for sure 😉 Enjoy!

@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial Honestly, I prefer this over AC Odyssey not just because it's based on Japan though that is a factor. I like how the combat works, it's not like you have to be a certain level to kill people which is my main gripe with the new AC games and it also looks prettier.

I am using the Kensei armor which boosts ghost weapons significantly, and I use kunai knives a ton. Because of that, I use a charm that grants 1 kunai for every perfect dodge. So I have to master the timing of the perfect dodge, so using this jump dodge technique isn't an option this playthrough. But the perfect dodges are so satisfying to pull off!

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Ah yes if that’s your build then jump dodge won’t be your thing. I suggest check out my tsushima build playlist tho to see how much further you can optimized that kensei armour. There are many charms you can add to that armour to make it unstoppable.

Good tutorial! I've been playing 1000 Hours GoT Legends and have never had someone point that out so clearly. Thx!!!

[@shawnveric1169]

Here some tips my friends. 1- In duels if you are struggling dodge back and do stabs with stone stance. 2- you can kill a group of 9 in like 6 seconds by hitting a 3 person standoff followed by a smoke bomb into a 3 chain assasination followed by a dance of wrath. And if you want to hit a fat 10 use heavens slash followed by a heavy attack. (Let's be real if you find 10 guys in a group you done goofed)

Jump and slash to close the distance. Then jump and dodge when you are closed in. Keep enemies spaced out jump away if you have to. And you should be good. Fight with patience and not emotions like Jin saids lol good luck out there

There’s a technique you can unlock that one-hit kills nearly everything with a special animation if you strike after a perfect dodge. I prefer that to jumping around lol

[@Lisimojoel]

Excellent vid, sir. Subscribed. Jump dodge/warp is brilliant. Similar to the R3 concentration method (which is also VERY clever), the R2 stance change technique is effective as time also slows (depress and hold R2 as enemy attacks then initiate parry basically). Problem is you can't dodge while depressing R2. Anyway, great job!

Good find on the bow trick! In these types of games there are usually many types of slowdown though. I'm thinking that there's probably a stance switch/equipment select menu that'll most likely slow down the game too. Maybe you can do something with that?

[@mozza4209]

If u go into stance select it slows down a ton, it’s good for parrying if your a beginner or playing on harf

The problem with jump dodging is, it does not look natural, It is better to dodge with a side step because it seems like real sword fighting and better for immersion.

[@rastazrealities]

The wait was justified. Just got my copy. I also found a glitch. I was in some village and I jumped around a window and Jin floated a bit and was caught in a matrix-like floating and if I did not move the controller, he likely would be still stuck. I may do a video for my channel.

thanks for the tips.... not sure i have the reflex to parry when i see white, but the jump avoid is a great tip.

[@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial]

Jump avoid is huge. I suggest check out my Tsushima build tutorial. I did a boss fight and a specific build there when the jump avoid concept is even more effective when you got the right armour and charm sets.

[@fibby7069]

This works for almost every enemy except for one, and those are the brutes, my god. The problem is you are fooled by their axe swings and you think it is like a sweeping attack the spearmen use, but boy I was wrong when the man started trying to helicopter himself upto heaven and he did not stop swinging until my entire healthbar was down.

[@davidtsmith33]

I'm really getting to like both parrying and dodging. Was pretty ok with dodging before but perfect parrying the timing was iffy. I've played this game so much now including more practice with parrying I'm finally pretty confident with it. And this is without the parrying/dodging charm which I can't tell you the last time I slotted it in. I'm eagerly looking forward to executing this jump dodge combo first thing tomorrow as I believe it will add an extra skill. I tried doing it after I commented last but got it wrong so didn't try it further. What I was doing was just jumping to evade, then counter and was getting clipped. Having replayed the tutorial twice times since last I now realise I gotta jump and dodge leading into the counter. So looking forward to trying it out. Also the slow mo parry.

[@samu3256]

Wooooooowwww long time no see... AT ALL 😂

[@Apudurangdinya]

The first half of the game i tried so hard to avoid stealth kill ghost weapons etc, i would just barge into camps etc, but later it doesn't matter because you become ghost anyway so the rest of the game i just goes ballistic with all tools and method, it was much more fun, although i was hoping you'll get different option, dialogue/storyline when sticking with samurai code
