Raidou has two main weapons: a sword for close combat and a gun for long-range shots. Apart from a basic swing, there are three sword moves: a three-hit Combo Slash, a charged Dragon Cyclone that strikes everything near Raidou, and a dashing Tiger Thrust that covers a short distance very quickly.

Enemies will duck and weave around Raidou during battle, so use the three attacks efficiently according to the enemy’s position and your situation.

Raidou’s normal attack is a horizontal slash that hits the enemies in front of him.
After charging the Dragon Cyclone, Raidou uses it to strike all the enemies around him.

Tiger Thrust knocks an enemy back. It’s a useful move to clear some space if you’re boxed in.
Gun attacks are useful for more than striking from a distance. With elemental bullets, Raidou can attack enemy weaknesses to fire, ice, or any other elemental affiliation. Enemies hit in their weak points are temporarily stunned, and take more damage from normal attacks while in this state.
