Learn the Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Triangle System: Strikes beat Throws, Throws beat Holds, and Holds beat Strikes.
The Triangle System is a fundamental element of combat in Dead or Alive 5 Last Round. Its basic principle is a rock-paper-scissors relationship: Strikes (Punches and Kicks) are effective against Throws, Throws can counter Holds, and Holds are the best defense against Strikes. For example, if an opponent attempts a Hold (a defensive maneuver to counter an incoming attack), you can use a Throw to break their Hold. Conversely, if an opponent is attacking with Strikes, you can counter them using the appropriate Hold.
Tips
- Mastering the Triangle System takes practice, even though its rules are straightforward.
- Understand which attack type (Strike, Throw, or Hold) is most effective in each situation.
- Experiment with countering different attack types to build muscle memory.
