Combat practice
Start by aiming the Quantum Blade at an enemy. Teleport in, then attack while Quantum State is active to recharge Health Cores faster. Parry a readable attack to extend the state; teleport again when you need to renew it. When an Unstoppable Force warning appears, evade instead of parrying. Only attempt a Killshift once its indicator appears. Practise each action separately before chaining them together; do not trade health just to recharge a core.

Press 【Blade Shift】 to throw the Quantum Blade. Use 【Horizontal】 to aim, and hold 【Blade Shift】 for precision aim. When the Quantum Blade hits an object you will automatically teleport to the Blade and retrieve it, ready to throw again as many times as you wish.
After teleporting to enemies, you will enter a Quantum State. While in the Quantum State, attacking will recharge your Health Core energy much more rapidly than regular attacks. To maintain your Quantum State, teleport frequently using Bladeshift. Parrying attacks extends the duration of your Quantum State, allowing you to stay in this mode for longer.
Press 【Heal】 to use a Health Core and regain Health. Attacking enemies recharges a small amount of Health Core energy.
Press 【Parry】 immediately before an enemy attack to Parry. Parrying interrupts enemies and deflects small projectiles.
Unstoppable Force attacks cannot be parried, they can only be dodged. Watch out for the warning symbol!
Killshifts are brutal execution moves that will instantly kill an enemy. When the Killshift indicator appears, throw the Quantum Blade at the enemy to trigger a Killshift.
