Beginner Walkthrough Guide

Step 1: Learn Basic Combat Timing

At the start, focus on:

• Waiting for enemy attacks
• Counter-attacking after enemy swings
• Avoiding spam attacks

👉 Winning depends more on timing than speed.

Step 2: Control Positioning in Arena

Positioning is critical:

• Do not stay surrounded
• Keep enemies in front of you
• Move to open space constantly

👉 Being cornered usually leads to quick defeat.

Step 3: Use Block and Dodge Strategy

To survive longer:

• Block when enemies attack in groups
• Dodge when heavily surrounded
• Counter only after openings

Step 4: Upgrade Smartly

Early upgrades should focus on:

1. Weapon damage
2. Defense / armor
3. Stamina or energy control

👉 Damage + survival balance is key.

Advanced Combat Strategy Guide

1. Fight One Enemy at a Time

Even in group fights:

• Try to isolate a single opponent
• Eliminate them quickly
• Reduce pressure gradually

2. Don’t Spam Attacks

Random attacks lead to:

• Getting blocked
• Losing stamina advantage
• Easy counter hits

Instead:

• Attack after enemy misses
• Use controlled combos

3. Use Enemy AI Behavior

Enemies in Slash of Sword often:

• Retreat when damaged
• Try to surround you
• Assist nearby allies

👉 Use this by pulling enemies into open space.

4. Boss Fight Strategy

For bosses:

• Observe attack patterns first
• Wait for slow recovery animations
• Punish only after heavy swings
• Avoid aggressive rushing
