ShiKage's Ultimate Hayato Guide

Just to add on, Sweeping Sword right at the edge of the screen, facing the edge, bounces you back away from the edge lol, but it can be useful because it pulls mobs behind you as well in this case.

Doing this or the Whirlwind combo breaks my Sweeping Sword, until I switch maps or whatever - every sweeping sword afterward fires me backwards a bit farther than Whirlwind or Dankuusen goes forward. Which, in combos, gives it ridiculous apparent range:

Whirlwind + Sweeping Sword, starting from around the doorway - first Whirlwind pushes me forward, then Sword yanks back, killing everything on the screen. Whirlwind hits the left and Sword hits the right half of the screen, with not much overlap.

The (Whirlwind -> Dankuusen -> Sweeping Sword) infinite chain is kinda fun, except that two are forward rushes and one becomes a backwards rush, so I end up all over the map in very short order.

For clearing out a map, I just Whirlwind->Dankuusen->Whirlwind->etc. most of the time, cause it combos fine. Would be nice to be able to turn around at some point though without the huge delay either of them incurs when you stop on it.


Whirlwind->Sword->W->S and Sword->Whirlwind->S->W seem to move me different amounts depending on very specific timing within the repetition of the combos. Takes getting used to.



First class in a while where finding a nice flat map and just playing with the skills is more fun than questing.
