Once you know how to move and attack, then you need to know how to avoid enemy attacks. The way to do this is with either shielding or dodging.

Press the shield button to put up your shield.

It can block most enemy attacks.

However, over time it shrinks down. You can’t keep it up forever!

You’ve got no shield left! You better release while you can!

If you let it dissapear, you’ll get stunned.

In addition to shielding, you can dodge at any time. You can also use these with the shield button.

Press down while shielding to do a sidestep.

Left or right allow you to move to the side.

You can even dodge in midair!?

Try to use these moves against opposing attacks whenever you can, as they may just save your life.
