  • Infinite combo that can be used to remain in demon mode even when out of stamina
  • After performing a twofold demon slash (△ after demon fang,) remember to add a bit of delay before fade slash to avoid doing sixfold demon slash instead.

  1. Basically from idle, you can do up to 2 overhead slashes before going into the infinite. During the infinite, you only get one overhead slash per rotation.
