to handle the shield as a sword, so you can switch between two
types—shield and sword or dual swords—for excellent offense and defense,
and a variety of close combat attacks.
Attack attributes: strike, stab, and smash.
In the defense style, you’ll attack with your big sword and defend
with your shield for a balanced fight. Parry enemy attacks while letting
out your own attacks and counterattack techniques. You can also store
the energy of oni and unleash it as a super attack.
In the attack style, you’ll unleash a fury of continuous attacks with
your dual swords. Since you have no defense, you’ll have high evasion
techniques. Use this style to overwhelm the enemy with attacks.
“Hazy Moon” is a special defense style technique that sharpens the
senses, lets you freely combine several attacks to unleash a plethora of
continuous attacks. Each attack increases in power, and by landing
every hit, you can unleash a finishing blow.
“Single Pierce” is a special attack style technique that lets you
unleash all your energy at once from the tip of your sword as a powerful
blow.
—Swordwhip

phantasmagorical fighting. Each section is stocked with blades that

pierce the enemy all over. There are a lot of different ways to use the
kunai, such as detonating them.
“Kagura” is a special technique that lets you unleash the whip at
high speed frontward. Because it boasts a large enough attack range to
attack all parts of a large oni, it exhibits tremendous power against
oni with its countless piercing kunai.
