Tips for Playing

  • Wait for enemies to get within arm's reach before swinging to guarantee a hit.
  • Focus on stringing together consecutive hits without missing to boost your score multiplier.
  • Watch for telegraphed attacks from larger foes and dodge before striking back.
  • Use quick, short swings against fast enemies to avoid overextending.
  • Prioritize smaller enemies first to keep the crowd manageable.
