DNF Duel: Ghostblade Guide – Tips, Combos & More
Ghostblade is a dark samurai character from DNF Duel, who is assisted in his quest by the ghost of an immortal warrior. These two combined powers can create deadly combos and arrangements to ensure their carnage never ceases. It is essential to keep an eye on your MP, as this is the only way to summon ghostly aids.
Ghostblade Strategy and Attacks
Ghostblade is a powerful, aggressive powerhouse with a wide range of moves. Ghostblade can access every normal attack, except for A. This gives him a wide range of options and great utility. Skill Attacks are also included. Ultimate Phantom Slash is primarily a combination piece. However, Spectral Elimination (Crouching/Down+S), an excellent anti-air, and Drive Slash(Forward+s), a great long-range punishment that can be used to enter Phantasmal Slayer. This is especially effective when you are able to corner your opponent.
Ghostblade’s jump attack is also great. Jumping B is an excellent combo starter and is difficult to punish if blocked at maximum range. Cross Slash (Jumping S), on the other hand, is a great tool for air-to-air combos that can be started with a Ghost Targeted Hit (Jumping S). Cross Slash (air to air) allows you to land with some advantage. Although jumping A is a good option, it will increase your combo damage and length significantly if you decide to use it.
Two main issues facing this evil duo are: Ghostblade is unable to defend himself if he is knocked down. Ghostblade has two options when characters like the Swift Master or Hitman have invincible pressure reversers. Ghostblade can either block them or use a sneaky Ghost Retracer (Crouch/Down+MP), to escape. If you are in a corner, Ghost Retracer can help you escape. However, it is possible to be caught by your opponents who are searching for it. You’ll want to play a conservative game, where you should make your opponents’ mistakes your primary priority.
Second, speed of movement is a problem. Ghostblade is slow to move, even when running. This means that you will need to use Ghost Retracer or Drive Slash to get to where you need to go in a pinch. Your positioning should be your second focus in order to get the best out of your combos. Otherwise, it’s easy for your ghost partner to miss your attack.
It can be difficult to perform combos with Ghostblade at first. Although the tutorial teaches you how to use your ghostly sidekick in basic ways, it is important to focus on his attacks as glue to help you string yours together. You should focus your combos around the character you control. The ghost will help you chain together your big attacks. Chaining several Skill Attacks from Ghostblade together can cause significant damage, especially in corners.
Although you can perform flashy combos that cause big damage anywhere on the screen the otherworldly duo prefers consistency to style. You should not push yourself too hard during combos. Shorter strings are better at moving forward than doing damage. It’s crucial to have the ability to do some serious damage once you have moved a character a good distance towards one corner.
These are some combinations that build on ideas from the tutorial. Ghostblade can be combined into Phantasmal Slayer with moves like Ghost: Sky Slash, Forward+MP, and the last hit from Drive Slash. This allows you to enhance some of these combos and finish your opponent off early, where there are more chances.
