Combat Tips / 攻略のポイント

  • Focus (集中): This is the most critical skill for Great Swords as it shortens the time required for charged attacks, significantly boosting your damage. / 大剣にとって最も重要なスキルです。溜め時間を短縮し、ダメージ効率を大幅に向上させます。
  • Special Skill (SPスキル): Use the Anja Mail to gain the Special Boost skill, which increases the damage of your True Charged Slash. / アンジャメイルを装備してSPスキル威力アップを発動させれば、真・溜め斬りの威力をさらに高めることができます。
  • Lock On (ロックオン): Essential for targeting monster weak spots effectively. / モンスターの弱点部位を確実に狙うために必須のスキルです。
  • Sneak Attack (闇討ち): Attacking from the rear is a safer way to avoid head-on rushes while dealing extra damage. / モンスターの背後から攻撃することで、突進を避けつつダメージを稼ぐことができます。
