Quick answer
Confirmed systems include Parry, Deflect, Issen, Break Issen, soul absorption, Oni Armament, Reflex Combo, Oni Strength, Oni Agility and Oni Awakening. Their value depends on enemy attack patterns and the live control scheme.
01
Verified answer
Deflect is central against bosses because it drains their gauge toward Break Issen; regular Issen remains the high-risk instant counter for weaker enemies. Reflex Combo rewards continuous perfect dodges, while Oni Strength breaks defenses and barriers and Oni Agility adds speed and wall-running access.
02
Player-useful details
Soul absorption is no longer stationary: Musashi can move while collecting souls, preserving the choice between taking them now and leaving them for later. Oni Armament selection slows time, and Oni Awakening is a separate late-revealed power state.
