Evolving Tactics
Recover Health
"Recover health" is a basic technique that allows you to recover health by pressing the down button on the directional pad. It is essential from the beginning to the end of the game, so make sure to learn the controls and activate it immediately when your health is low.
Additionally, by unlocking the additional skill "Iron Will" for "Recover Health," you will be able to stand up by consuming 1 resolve when your health gauge is depleted. This skill is useful when you couldn't recover in time, so it is recommended to prioritize unlocking "Iron Will."

Standoff
The "Standoff" technique allows you to challenge one enemy at a time, and if successful, defeat them in one blow. By unlocking the additional skills "Standoff Streak" and "Improved Standoff Streak," you can increase the number of enemies you can defeat in a standoff, reducing combat time and reliably reducing the number of enemies. It is recommended to do so.
However, to unlock the additional skills for "Standoff," a technique point is required. Technique points can be obtained as a reward for raising your Legend Rank, which increases by completing quests such as main story quests. So actively complete quests to acquire technique points and unlock skills.

Archery
"Archery" is a technique that allows you to use a long-range weapon, the bow. It is unlocked when you receive a bow during the quest "The Tale of Sensei Ishikawa," so prioritize clearing this quest when it becomes available.

Assassination
The "Assassination" technique allows you to instantly defeat unsuspecting enemies with the □ button. "Assassination" is a crucial skill that becomes necessary from the beginning to the end of the story, so prioritize clearing the "The Warrior's Code" quest in the main story quest.

Focused Hearing
The "FocusedHearing" technique allows you to detect surrounding enemies with the PAD button located in the center of the controller. When combined with "Assassination," you can eliminate enemies without engaging in direct confrontation. Press the PAD button actively to detect enemies and assassinate them one by one.
Shoji Assassination
The "Shoji Assassination" technique allows you to assassinate enemies behind sliding doors (Shoji doors). It works similarly to "Assassination," but when there are sliding doors at the enemy's base, it is recommended to use "Focused Hearing" to detect enemies before proceeding.
