One attack sequence that works very well is to trigger Wild Lions, then Ki Pulse, then use Pulverize. Pulverize is very powerful, and can devastate an enemy's guard, but enemies are also inclined to attack you during Demon Dance, which is to be taken into consideration. It's advised to start unlocking it on your favorite stance, and then unlock the rest after you've acquired the necessary Samurai Skill Points. If you learn Demon Dance: Man you will have it on Mid Stance, but not on High Stance and Low Stance, not until you learn Demon Dance: Heaven and Demon Dance: Earth. But Demon Dance has to be learned for each stance individually, and the same is true for Pulverize. In order to use Pulverize, you need to trigger a Ki Pulse after having learned Demon Dance, then press Square. Crimson Lotus is a combo ender for your Strong Attacks, while Pulverize is a bit special. At Novice level you can learn Crimson Lotus, and you can also start learning Pulverize attacks. It's also a very good attack, which unleashes a flurry of strikes that can't be deflected. Wild Lions on the other hand is an L1+Square attack that you can use in every stance. Each stance has one L1+Triangle attack which you can learn, but which only ever works on that stance. An awkward quirk of the Tonfa is that it has no universal L1+Triangle attack. It specializes in Ki damage but has consequently much less Break damage, and it's longer, which means you'll be more exposed to attack. Sweeping Kick is an alternative which I like less. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Low Stance. It has a lot of Break and Ki damage, and it's fast. A powerful combo ender that you can get right away is Shove. The direct damage can be a bit underwhelming, and it's recommended to set up Grapples and Killing Strikes as much as possible. The Tonfa also deals a lot of Ki damage, which means that Ki domination is an excellent tactic to use with the Tonfa. That's not as elegant as using Pulverize for the same purpose, but it certainly works. The guard breaking abilities of the Tonfa are so inherently good, that it requires no more than spamming a standard quick attack on a guarding enemy to deplete that enemy's Ki and go for a Grapple. It excels at delivering a large number consecutive attacks, and is great for guarding and breaking guard. DescriptionĪ Tonfa is a very effective weapon and a lot of fun to use. A powerful Tonfa build for enthusiasts with tips and equipment advice.
