Yokai Guide

Understanding Yokai abilities, Soul Cores, and Yokai Shift mechanics.

1

Soul Core Basics

Defeat Yokai to earn Soul Cores that grant their abilities. Equip up to 2-3 cores in your Guardian Spirit for powerful Yokai abilities in combat.

2

Yokai Shift Forms

Brute form has super armor and powerful strikes. Feral form has fast dodges and counter moves. Phantom form has ranged attacks and teleportation.

3

Burst Counters

Each Yokai Shift type has a unique Burst Counter. Brute is a forward charge, Feral is a quick dodge-counter, and Phantom is a ranged counter.

4

Anima Management

Anima powers your Yokai abilities. Build it through melee attacks, Ki pulses, and specific guardian spirit bonuses. Manage it wisely for key moments.

5

Dark Realm Strategy

In the Dark Realm, Ki recovery is slowed. Use Yokai abilities to dispel the realm and restore normal Ki regeneration. Prioritize clearing pools.

6

Best Soul Cores

Ippon-Datara for massive single-target damage. Kasha for fire AOE and mobility. Gozuki for stagger. Yatsu-no-Kami for ranged poison damage.

7

Soul Core Attunement

Rest at shrines to attune Soul Cores. Higher-level cores require more attunement capacity. Match element types with your guardian spirit for bonuses.

8

Yokai Shift Duration

Yokai Shift drains the Amrita Gauge. Taking damage drains it faster. Use strong attacks efficiently and absorb Amrita orbs to extend the duration.
