Learn the combat basics in ni no kuni 2 revenant kingdom, including light and heavy attacks, blocking with L1, and evading.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Combat in ni no kuni 2 revenant kingdom is a basic action-RPG system. Use the Square button for a light attack and the Triangle button for a heavy attack.
  2. 2
    You can combo a heavy attack after a light one, but not the other way around. If you start with a heavy attack, you must finish with heavy attacks.
  3. 3
    Blocking is done with the L1 button. It does not negate all damage and only blocks some of the full damage you would take. Your movement will be limited while guarding.
  4. 4
    To evade, press the left analog stick in the direction you wish to dodge and press the L1 button simultaneously. You will be briefly invulnerable while evading, so learn the timing to avoid powerful attacks.
  5. 5
    Jumping is done with the Circle button. This can be done both inside and outside of battles. During encounters, you might be able to use this to jump over shockwaves.
  6. 6
    Fight the three guards before you. They are very easy and you almost likely won’t get hit at all, especially if you keep attacking.
  7. 7
    After the battle, a few scenes will play. You will regain control in a destroyed hallway with rubble.
Tips
  • Combat basically boils down to light and heavy attacks, and you will be using both quite often.
  • While evading, you will be briefly invulnerable, so you will want to figure out the timing to avoid those very powerful attacks.
