The BLADE COMBO is a fantastic way to cut through all WEAKER
foes (such as Soldiers or Evolved Infected), and also works well
after a COUNTER to a Hunter or Supersoldier attack. The damage
is exceptional, and each hit is targeted at slicing into your enemy. 3-HIT SWIPE KICKER 1

The BLADE SPRINT FRENZY meanwhile, is much better at cutting
through a LINE OF FOES in front of you. If you employ this on a
TARGETED HUNTER though, only ONE of the strikes is likely to
connect. It is much better to launch a BLADE FRENZY (without the
Sprint) instead; a standing start is preferred if you wish to inflict

You should employ the BLADE AIR SLICE time and time again. It

you’re planning on an impressive time. Then JUMP and AIRDASH twice to the final Orb [3]. If you can attempt this while keeping as low to the roofs as
