Guard And Defensive Actions

Hold back to guard standing attacks and down-back for crouching attacks. The supplied guide documents Assemble Counter as Square + X from neutral and Crossover as Square + X while blocking.

Assists And Switching

The team includes Point Leader, Shooting Assist, Vertical Assist, and Assault positions. Games.gg documents L2 plus a direction for switching, with a brief Switch prompt after an assist.

Practice Drill

Defense-to-assist sequence

Record a simple enemy pressure string. Block the string three times, use Crossover once, then reset. The goal is recognizing the defensive situation, not pressing the input immediately.
