Dojima OP

[rosera]

Was having fun until I got the fight where your enemy takes out half your health in one attack. gg great game worth every cent

[Vanquisher]

Try blocking.

[hghwolf]

Play on easy first. Get a style with toughness expert.

I'm assuming I can't set the difficulty without starting over.

[Major]

Idk I beat him by ♥♥♥♥♥ slapping him with the back end of my sword. seems to work pretty well.

[Major]

Also I think he's actually harder in the arena if you are fighting there

Edit: May be wrong there But he seemed harder when I had to fight him in the arena

[kC]

there are several characters that can instantly kill you, try to evade those hits... obviously you didnt play previous WotS games :/ i have the most fun in fights where im not allowed to get hit at all (rice guard quest e.g)

[Cosmik Debris]

I got to down to about half health...then he threw me to the ground and repeatedly choped my face untill i was dead.

It was actually very disturbing.

Never played a WOTS game before. I should of known better to try a game not like anything I've played before on anything but easy.

Unless you're under a "reduced defense" effect, that attack shouldn't be instakilling you.

Hurts pretty bad though. If you took a couple of other hits first, that would finish you off.

I had taken some hits. I still need more practice I'm sure. I really suck at these kinda "twitch/reflex/skill/whateveryoucallit" games but they are so damn fun.

Use items which give defense increase.
Use styles which reduce damage.*
Use items which give attack increase WITHOUT reducing defense.
Use a sword with a high strength rating.*

* Fighting styles with "Toughness" skills can be identified by having a skill (usually near the top of the list) that's unlocked by getting hit. Beginner just needs the relevant rank unlocked and to be hit. Higher-level versions require you to take hits of a certain strength. Swords usually start with relatively low strength, but can be upgraded at the blacksmith's shop in Town.

Not much choice there. You would want to play it in Hard to at least guarantee a 70% chance of seeing Shady Deal. He's a pain to farm at that difficulty level, which is why i only have one sword to show for all my effort.

First off you will need a style that's quick. Master it. You'll need a sword @ 400 dmg or there-abouts. Make sure your style has toughness to reduce damage and fast eating (Dojima's style ticks all the above criteria)

[Baddamobs]

UPGRADE YOUR SWORD

No, seriously: the damnage on your sword will determine whether this game's combat is fun and fast paced or a slog and waaay too difficult. Makes sure it's strength is decent before taking on any named characters

[rosera]

I'm really early on. I'm on Day 2 defending the hospital for Laura.

Get his vitality down with some reverse blade smacks then work on his health. You can't block his attacks like the grab. You have to evade a lot. Once he tries to do his special he's left open for a quick combo. Try upgrading your sword for more damage. Stock up on Onigiri.

Stupid question: How do I even eat the Onigiri? I have six of them and can't use them lmao
