Mastering advanced combat is key to surviving higher difficulties. Learn to 'On-Landing Cancel' by performing an attack just as you land from a jump, allowing for faster combo execution. The 'Fiend Sealer' (Ultimate Technique after absorbing essence) is incredibly powerful; learn to bait enemies into dropping essence, then absorb it for an instant UT. Practice 'Wind Path' (jump off an enemy's head) for repositioning and avoiding damage. The 'Reverse Wind' dodge can be chained for rapid movement. Always aim to delimb enemies to prevent regeneration and set up 'Obliteration Techniques' (finishing moves on downed enemies) for quick kills and more essence.
