Battle
How to escape battles	If retreating seems like the best option in battle, continue to run toward the yellow boundary. Once the displayed gauge is maxed out, you can escape. If the boundary is red, you cannot escape the battle.
Collect CS particles	If you hit an enemy with a power (<btn_h_attack>) or charge (press and hold <btn_h_attack>) attack, the enemy will drop particles that fill up your CS gauge.
Use combo attacks	<btn_l_attack>’!<btn_h_attack>: Repel Attack <btn_l_attack>’!<btn_l_attack>’!<btn_h_attack>: Area Attack <btn_jump>’!<btn_l_attack> or <btn_h_attack>: Aerial Attack Use a combination of attacks to defeat your enemy depending on where they are!
Armored enemies	Be careful of armored (<icon_armor>) enemies because they can't be pushed back and attacks don't hit as hard. Use a power or charge attack to break the enemy's armor or else your attacks won't be as effective. Class strikes work, too!
