This game has fucking garbage combat and people said it was the best part of the game. Currently just after the fight with the ice woman boss and every fight plays out the same way:
>Every enemy can either instakill or kill you in 2-3 hits >They use super-armour in every move >You have to bait out every attack then punish >If you straight up decide to use your weapon and skills to kill a boss than a fight takes way longer than needed >If you want the boss fight to be a moderate enjoyable length then you have to use magic or jutsus
The entire game is bait, punish, repeat until you get to a boss then it's bait, punish, repeat until they are low enough to use guardian spirit to end the fight quickly. If they actually made the weapons feel like they were doing damage and you could go toe to toe with enemies but as it is now it's fucking boring as shit.
I'm level 64 and on the duel with Li Naomasa. The reliance on magic to end fights quickly is killing the game for me.

What weapon are you using? What level are you? Yuki-Onna was the one enemy where I decided a lv1 run wasn't going to be much fun because of the threat of one shots and lack of skill points, but the game's combat is beautiful when you know what you're doing. It's like a dance.
I'll never forget when I parried Yasuke's iai on reaction. It was beautiful.

>Li Naomasa That's the Red Demon guy, correct? He's a spearfag, he's easy to handle. What are you having trouble with, specifically?
Jose Ross
I'm using the Kusarigama and I'm level 64.
I'm not having any problems, I beat him on like my second try, it's how just long and repetitive the fights feel without using magic or buffs.
Austin Lopez
That level sounds about right for the section you're at. I suppose it's just how it is, the enemies don't die in a few hits. If you're not having fun why not try another weapon type? The Odachi packs a way bigger punch but it's still reasonably light.

>Every enemy can either instakill or kill you in 2-3 hits Use better armor >They use super-armour in every move As do most bosses in these types of games otherwise you can just stunlock them to death. You can do that with human bosses btw or else apply two elemental debuffs to yokai and that also works >You have to bait out every attack then punish Y-yes... you um, you have to avoid their attacks and hit them? >If you straight up decide to use your weapon and skills to kill a boss than a fight takes way longer than needed Factually untrue >If you want the boss fight to be a moderate enjoyable length then you have to use magic or jutsus That will actually kill them faster.

roll poison or water on your kusarigama or change to axe or odachi and hit their backs
Jonathan Robinson
I've tried other weapons but they feel like I'm just getting a single poke in then having to retreat, bait and punish again.
>>If you straight up decide to use your weapon and skills to kill a boss than a fight takes way longer than needed >Factually untrue Show me a video without buffs (jutsus or weapon buffs), magic or an over-powerered character defeating a boss quickly.
