Combat Tips
⚔️ Master the Charge Attack
Hold attack to charge, then release for powerful moves. Charge attacks can break enemy guards.
🛡️ Block Before Enemy Attacks
Timing your block just before an attack lands staggers the enemy, creating openings.
🔥 Use Musou at Right Time
Save your Musou gauge for groups of enemies or boss battles. Don't waste it on single weak foes.

Standing still makes you vulnerable. Keep circling enemies while attacking.

Taking a watchtower reveals all enemies on the mini-map. Always prioritize this objective.
⚡ Focus on Main Objectives
