If your own Posture Meter is broken, the Wolf may also be susceptible to their next attack, or will at least fall down and become vulnerable to further hits. If you manage to break your opponents Posture Meter, they will be stunned, and a red indicator will appear on the opponent that allows you to perform a finishing Deathblow on the target. Blocking in this method results in a dull clang from your sword, and eventually the Posture Meter will break if you are not careful. One of the most important things to note is that this holds true even if the target of the attack is blocking - though the damage will be reduced somewhat. Meanwhile, the Wolf's posture is displayed at the bottom center of the screen, with your health to the left.Īs you deal damage to opponents, you'll also deal damage to the Posture Meter, causing it to expand from the center, and this also holds the same for your character. Regular enemies will display their posture above their head below their health, while Mid- Bosses and Bosses display theres at the top center of the screen, with their health to the left. This meter is the key to understanding combat in Sekiro, and how you can use it to your advantage.īoth the Wolf and his opponents all have a Posture Meter. Holding block will indeed stop you from taking damage to your Vitality - but instead you will find repeated hits will damage another meter - the Posture Meter. Because of this, you shouldn't try to rely too much on dodging, as it will only guard you against specific attacks with a short reach or thrusts, and cannot be used as a catch-all.īlocking in Sekiro is done in two different ways.
You can run, attack, block, dodge, and jump as much as you want - with a few caveats.įor instance, dodging in Sekiro allows you to perform a short dash in any direction, but you cannot move very far with it, and the period in which you are invulnerable to damage while dodging is very slim - as the game relies more on hit detection. Unlike Dark Souls or Bloodborne, there is no stamina bar you must keep an eye on when attacking, blocking, or dodging. This is about the only way in which Sekiro shares similarity to Dark Souls or Bloodborne combat. You can also lock onto enemies and strafe around them by moving - or switch your lock on to a different enemy. With this weapon, you can attack enemies by pressing R1/RB, and block by pressing L1/LB. In Sekiro, the Wolf has but one weapon - his trusty katana, Kusabimaru.
