Other than that just the classic old have fun and rest when you're feeling frustrated. Works wonders.
But even if you follow all of that advice you'll still get your ass handed to you. Practice and practice again lol.
Dodge only if the game tells you(basically unlock the skill mikiri counter which allows you to counter thrust attacks. A red kanji sign will pop up whenever they are about to do it. Dodging is how you activate the skill)
Do not jump unless the game tells you to(You take extra damage if hit in the air and you can hear it and it's painful to hear. Really feels and sounds like someone landed a critical on you). Yet again, a red kanji sign will pop up whenever the enemy is about to do a sweep which is when you jump. Press the jump button 2 times when they do it and you will do a double jump which lands massive posture on them. Also, regarding the red signs: They only show that you need to 1 of 2 moves but it's up to you to learn which of these is about to happen. Sweeps you can tell because the enemy will start....well, sweeping. If they don't, then it's always thrust attacks.
Almost every fight can be completed with just Attack and Deflect. You can’t run and deflect at the same time, so take your thumb off the Dodge button unless you have to get out of the way.
Beast type enemies are the opposite. Don’t deflect them, run around and hit them once or twice in the back before running away again. You can get extra hits in if you stagger them or throw firecrackers. If you're really good, you CAN parry them, but I've never been consistent at that.
A lot of people will tell you not to do this, but if you’re really struggling you can spam deflect. The parry window gets fewer frames with every parry if you cluster them, but it’s really helpful. Eventually you’ll start to feel the timing and you can spam less.
Perfect parries won’t break your posture, so when you’re good enough you’ll eventually almost never have to back down, which will simplify boss movesets and make each fight over much quicker. Being deliberate and aggressive will make the game easier and help you get better quicker.
Sound cues are also extremely helpful. You’ll hear “Ting! Ting! CLANG!” as you attack, and that CLANG with the bigger visual effect is your cue to stop attacking and immediately start deflecting.
Also, RUSH the Mikiri counter. Being good at that will destroy any enemy or boss that does thrust attacks extremely quickly, and it feels unbelievably satisfying when you can use it on a boss.
Last tip: Don't be afraid of the shinobi tools. Several bosses will be countered by specific ones, and they can vary the gameplay in a seriously fun way.
