An example of this is the yoki in the training grounds. Problem with this is that due to how slow it is, some red flash attacks can't actually be parried without also taking damage.

What makes this skill useful is that it allows you to essentially extend any combo in the game which can be useful for getting the most damage out of a series attacks, or getting just that last hit in necessary to break an enemies ki or kill them.īurst Counter: This is the slowest counter in the game but is also the easiest to use, since the burst counter happens when your attack connects with an enemy any time during the animation of an attack (even if the attack is in recovery). This is the only burst skill that is an actual attack and works similarly to a normal yokai skill, with no real special properties to be seen. Being able to cancel any weapon attack into a burst skill and the low cost of doing so is the most important part about burst skills and why they are your new greatest asset in combat beyond simply parrying specific moves.īurst Skill: Brute does a wide flaming attack. What exactly IS a burst skill? Well, universally it is a skill that costs 1 point of anima (the purple yokai gauge), requires no ki to use, it can cancel any weapon attack in the game (excluding cinematic animations as far as I can tell), it will cancel out your ability to ki pulse if you cancel an attack into a burst, and it can universally parry/counter attacks that show a red flash/glow but it seems you can parry a lot of other non-flash moves but it doesn't seem completely universal. First I want explain how from this point forward I will refer to them as Burst Skills and I will only use Burst Counter in the context of specifically using a burst skill to counter an enemies attack, I think it's important to make this distinction and to help people better realize what the mechanic is used for.
I'm gonna go in-depth for this mechanic and explain what each one does, what makes them special, and advanced uses and techniques. Each burst counter type has it's own special utility that can be used in a variety of ways. A lot of people think burst COUNTER means it's only use for parries when this is so far from the truth. I think part of the misconception comes with the name and how it's explained in game.
So i'm seeing a lot of confusion and misconception with the burst counter along with a lot of people not really talking about the somewhat hidden potential of this mechanic.
