By pressing R1 and X, you can perform your long-range attack. Long-range Attacks: Like Charged Attacks, Samanosuke and Jacques have different long-range attacks, but are done in the same manner. Tap any direction to throw your foe around, or tap the Triangle button to shoot them while they're tied up. You then have several options available to you. Instead of a slash, you'll actually wrap your whip around the closest enemy.

With Samanosuke, you'll get a powerful slash that will knock down anything in its path. Once it has been charged, press R1 and Square to perform the attack. By holding down the SQUARE button or the R1 button, you can charge your weapon. If you're low on energy and you need a quick escape, use your special attack to knock everyone down, and then heal up.Ĭharged Attacks: Samanosuke and Jacques have different charged attacks, although they are performed in the same fashion. The big bonus with this move? You're completely invincible while attacking. Special Attacks: By tapping the TRIANGLE button when you have a weapon with a elemental property (and enough magic points), you can perform a powerful elemental attack that does a great deal of damage to your foes. On top of your regular attacks, you also have three distinct attack options. Not only do you do more damage by attacking someone from behind, but they can't block any of your attacks.

You'll have to become comfortable with using the Ready Stance (R1) in order to sidestep attacks. Tapping the SQUARE button multiple times will allow you to attack an enemy with a combo, but this isn't the most effective way of dealing with foes later on in the game. Although using screen-relative movement is easier, character-relative movement allows you to walk and run a little bit faster. You can either use screen-relative or character-relative controls by using either the left analog stick or the directional pad respectively. Basic Movement There are two types of movement in Onimusha 3.
