Beast of Reincarnation may seem rough around the edges, but its combat system runs deeper than expected. These seven tips unlock powerful strategies and hidden mechanics that can redefine how you tackle fights and skill development.
Start Strong with the Hair Skill Tree
Right from the beginning, the smartest move is to invest skill points into the hair skill tree, focusing on abilities like Sprout Shakuyaku and Helm Splitter. Holding R2 while aiming at an enemy triggers a hook shot above them, slamming down with Helm Splitter. This move deals massive area damage and often knocks down foes, while any elemental sword effects rack up huge status buildup.
Beware, though—bosses and larger enemies can shrug this off and punish you if you’re careless. Use it strategically, not recklessly.
Untapped Potential of the Hair Mechanic
Hair isn’t just for climbing walls or stealthy assassinations. You can maneuver it around corners to bypass obstacles and even create a mid-air platform by curling it outwards at the last moment. It’s surprisingly versatile.
Plus, you can heal mid-air using stim packs while double-jumping, and simultaneously grapple with hair to escape danger as you descend. These nuances inject agility and safety into your combat tactics.
Tailor Your Skill Tree to Your Combat Style
Beyond the initial hair skills and Helm Splitter, the tree is yours to shape. Whether you prefer mid-range attacks or a silent, sneaky approach, there’s something for everyone.
For pure damage, focus on unlocking combos that chain a few normal attacks into a skill. While some high-damage combos require four attacks before unleashing a special move—tricky to pull off in fast fights—simpler combos using one or two attacks can be easier to execute and just as effective in tight situations.
XP and Skill Farming Strategies
Killing enemies yields XP and skill points—the lifeblood of your progression. Regular foes grant one skill point each, while elite enemies and bosses can award 10 or more.
If you want to unlock specific skills faster, farming camps with groups of weaker enemies near a campfire is a quick way to gather points and then head straight to what you need.
Maximizing Combat Tricks and Status Effects
Look out for swords with status effects in their descriptions. These effects can activate after parrying or through Ku’s Battleborn skill when combined with bloom attacks.
Mixing these with the Helm Breaker and Iiado skills unleashes a rapid elemental flurry, amplifying damage and status buildup—and it’s visually impressive too.
Using Climbing Higonbana for Sneak Attacks
At the start, you gain access to Climbing Higonbana, which places high hook shot points. These aren’t just for navigation—they can launch you further into sneak attacks.
By activating this near enemies, you fly farther than usual, setting up effortless assassinations that are usually risky with double jumps alone.
The Ultimate FP Recharge Loop
Pair Ku’s Higonbana seeds with rapid cooling effects to trivialize tough fights. First, ignite enemies fully with fire arrows or related effects. Hitting them immediately after rekindles your FP bar and grants an extra point, letting you unleash another attack.
Switching between bloom attacks combined with status effect amp mods and low FP cost abilities keeps refilling your FP as long as the enemy remains ablaze. This creates a relentless attack cycle that leaves enemies barely able to breathe.
If you want to witness some of these combos in action, there’s nothing quite like seeing the fluid grappling and elemental flurries unfold on screen. These tactics turn Ku into a near unstoppable force.
These seven pointers can dramatically shift your gameplay in Beast of Reincarnation, giving you an upper hand in both battles and progression. Master these and the game’s deeper combat system will reward you well.
