Tip!
Use combinations of light and heavy attack to make
your attacks more effective. Example, knock an enemy
off balance with a light attack and then ﬁnish him off
with a heavy attack!

Close Attack
Press the

button when very close to an enemy will

attempt to perform a grab, kick, or distraction move. Run
up to an enemy and press the

button without attacking!

Combo Attack
Each Character has 4 combo attacks that can help you get
out of sticky situations:

Focus

Attack

This attack unleashes a powerful
attack in one direction. It is useful
against very tough enemies.

Range

Attack

This attack unleashes an attack
in all directions. It is not very
powerful but can give you some
breathing space when you are
surrounded by enemies.

Barge

Attack

This attack unleashes a powerful
barge attack that will send your
enemy ﬂying to the ground. You
can also use this to barge enemies
off ledges.

Block

Breaker

This attack unleashes a focused
attack that will break any
blocking move. This is very
useful for those enemies with
persistent defensive tactics.

BLOCKING

(AND STRAFING)

Pressing the

button will block an incoming attack. If

you HOLD the

button you can maintain a defensive

stance and, using the

analog stick you can move (strafe)

around. When moving around you will automatically
target the nearest opponent and if they attack you will
automatically block.

SPECIAL ATTACKS

A clever ﬁghter uses more than his sword to win the
battle. Learn to upset your opponent’s balance to gain
a tactical advantage:

Stun
To stun the enemy and leave them open to attack, press the

button and back (away from your opponent) using the

analog stick.

Side Step (or Olé)
To side step their attack, press the

button

and left/

right (relative to your opponent) using the

analog stick.

Try this near to a wall or edge with a steep drop as the
outcome will probably be to your advantage. Open barrels
come in handy here too!

Kick
To kick them back where they came from, press the

button

and forwards (towards your opponent) using

the

analog stick.

Counter Move
While blocking (holding the

button) press

button

and you will unleash an unstoppable counter move.

IMPORTANT!
Every time you block or try a Special Attack you will use
up some of your stamina as indicated by the Black Pearls on
your HUD. When you run out of pearls, you will no longer
be able to block or perform a special attack. Release the

button and your stamina will start to replenish.
