How it playsLong Sword is fast, flowing combos and counters. Your hits fill the Spirit Gauge, which climbs from white to yellow to red, and each level adds damage. Spirit Helm Breaker spends a level for a big aerial finisher. You can’t block, so you rely on counters and good dodging.In WildsYour counters are Foresight Slash and the Special Sheathe into Iai Spirit Slash.New: Spirit Release Slash follows up a Spirit Helm Breaker, and holding a Spirit Charge builds into a Spirit Roundslash.At red gauge, Foresight Slash becomes Foresight Whirl Slash and the Crimson Slash moves open up.Its Focus Strike, Unbound Thrust, stabs into a wound and raises your Spirit Gauge.
