Combat tips?

[Wholesome Pepper]

I might not be far enough into the game to understand how to do neat tricks in combat. That said, the combat seems easy enough. We're just wondering if we can do cool stuff like attack at the same time for extra damage; are there cool co-op combos to unlock?

Is there a point to using pacify immediately, or should you wait and pacify all at once?

I expect some foes will be weak against impact and others take damage from the blast. Using shield when a monster faces one of you is also intuitive.

So far, we are enjoying the game. But, my wife is playing the dude because she studied wildlife bio and likes to cook. I like to talk through my frustrations, so the chick definitely resonates with me. It's fun comparing relationship dynamics between us and the characters, and seeing how many characteristics we both share with each character!

Enemies can wake up or be healed by others so pacifying is usually the best bet. As for new moves, they are tied to story progression.

i normally for small baddies let kay tank all damage with shield while yu dealt my damage because even if kay gets down to critical health if you walk away a bit and stand still they will hug or kiss and it will raise kays health to whatever yu's health is at... so lets say kay is 56 health and yu has 250 out of a max of 260 when they hug during the idle animation kays health will raise to 250 for free

that being said this is not a solid strat for the bigger boss creatures or hornets so bring healing stuff always
