Você não precisa acertar os inimigos, basta fazer os movimentos no timing certo, recomendo a quest 1-1 já que ela tem poucos inimigos, segue a lista de movimentos
Ground –> knockback –> Sword down –> One hand thrust –> Sword up –> Sword jump down –> Holy Cross x2 –> Sword up –> Sword jump down –> Sword up –> Sword wild x3 –> Sword down –> Cleave –> Bowling Bash x4 –> Sword up –> Brandish Spear x5 –> Sword combo (any direction)
Air
To make sure, you can press every time you finish the moves
Specific Action (when enemies attack) –> Guard (blue color) (while doing a combo) –> Guard (specific timed-block) –> Just Guard (red color) When you do a combo, if you time correctly, the last combo will be flash (character's body)
