Perfect parry or dodge to force vulnerable states, then follow with posture attacks for maximum damage. During panic moments use charged attacks or active abilities to create openings, just watch the timing since these windows are brief. When enemies get disorganized, shinobi bells or environmental traps work great for crowd control, and you can chain assassinations if you're quick.

For tougher fights, breaking enemy posture is key so focus on perfect parries and heavy strikes. Naoe works best picking off isolated targets during chaos then vanishing with grappling hooks, while yasuke can bulldoze through groups with guard-breaking moves. Try luring panicked enemies near destructible objects, since collapsing structures or exploding barrels can clear multiple threats at once.

Good to know - elite samurai recover from panic faster than regular troops, so save your posture attacks for when they're truly vulnerable. And don't forget you can use water spots for quick escapes, especially as naoe with the bamboo breathing pipe. Environmental hazards are your friend here, whether you're dropping lanterns or breaking bridges to control the battlefield.
