Attack Combos

Unlock Yi's full potential in Nine Sols! Learn about essential attack combos like Triple Slash and Charged Strike, plus key skills like Parry and Shadow Strike to dominate your foes.

Hey there! So, you're looking to really nail down your attacks in Nine Sols, huh? Let's talk about how Yi can string together some devastating combos and the skills that make them shine. It's all about building on your experience and unlocking new abilities at the Root Nodes. First off, you'll earn a skill point every time you gain enough experience. You can then spend these points in the Skill Tree at any Root Node to improve Yi's capabilities. Now, for the moves that'll really help you dish out damage: * Triple Slash: This is your bread-and-butter combo. Just press Template:Button repeatedly to unleash a quick three-hit blade attack. Be a little careful though, Yi is vulnerable for a moment right after you start this combo, so pick your openings wisely! * Charged Strike: This one takes a bit of charging. Hold down Template:Button until Yi glows green, then release to unleash a powerful forward thrust. It's super effective for breaking enemy shields and even smashing through some hard obstacles. But it's not just about raw attacks; some skills really enhance your combat effectiveness: * Parry: This is a crucial defensive and offensive skill. Press Template:Button at the right time to deflect enemy attacks and gain Qi charges. Just remember, if your parry isn't perfect, you'll take some recoverable internal damage. Also, keep in mind that some attacks, like crimson attacks and fire attacks, can't be parried. * Shadow Strike: This skill is all about positioning. If you strike an enemy from behind with a strong attack, you'll deal extra damage. Strong attacks include things like any Azure Bow attack, the final hit of the Triple Slash, and Talisman Explosions. * Enhanced Blade: If you're a fan of swordplay, this skill is for you. It boosts the damage of all your slash attacks, including the Triple Slash and the Charged Strike. There are also some other useful skills that complement your offensive game: * Qi Blast: By charging a talisman with up to three Qi charges (hold Template:Button), you can create an explosion. These explosions convert internal damage into direct damage. * Water Flow: This skill makes your talisman automatically detonate after a short delay, which is safer. It uses two Qi charges and also converts internal damage to direct damage. * Full Control: This lets you control the detonation time of your talisman by holding and releasing Template:Button, affecting Qi usage and explosion damage. It also converts internal damage to direct damage. And don't forget about skills that help you recover or gain advantages: * Swift Rise: If you get knocked down, pressing Template:Button lets you quickly get back up and ready to counter-attack. * Skull Kick: While airborne, you can use this to bounce off enemies, similar to Tai-Chi Kick, and it can be used as an alternative to it. * Backlash: This increases the internal damage from Tai-Chi Kick or Skull Kick. * Leverage: Boosts the internal damage from your Unbounded Counter. * Qi Boost: Increases your maximum Qi charge capacity. Keep practicing these moves and experimenting with different skill combinations. You'll be a master of combos in no time!
