How are all you Susanoos out there enjoying your samurai- and yokai-conquering adventure with [i]Samurai Bringer[/i]? For those of you who are having a hard time making progress, are you maybe taking on the boss yokai right away? Or are you maybe attacking lots of famous samurai? When starting out, first, take your time and focus on regaining Susanoo's lost strength. You can obtain Combat Scrolls by defeating the three types of samurai: Foot Soldiers ("goombah"-type enemies), Clan Leaders (not that strong, but well-known), and Brave Generals (super strong and famous generals).

Try employing various different combinations. Certain combinations can even activate special techniques! One simple example would be equipping one Slash Up and one Jump when equipped with a sword, which would result in an exhilarating technique in which you slash the enemy while jumping, blowing your opponent away in a tailspin. When an enemy of Clan Leader status or higher is defeated, he may drop a key. These keys can open treasure chests that are dropped on the field and contain various armaments. [b]*On occasion, enemy generals may appear from the chests. They're really tough, so run away if you're not yet ready! Cherish your life![/b] In addition, when a Brave General is defeated, they may drop their equipment. As soon as you pick it up, you will immediately benefit from the equipment's nifty passive skills, plus you'll be able to put on a specific set of equipment at your home base the next time you play the game.

There's bound to be a Brave General out there with your favorite special skills! Also, as time progresses and the days change, the foot soldiers and generals become stronger, so if you don't feel that you're up to the task of taking them down, try challenging the boss yokai. The strength of the boss yokai remains constant as time progresses. [b]Today’s Tip: Riceballs do not disappear even if they are not picked up. So save them until you lose your strength. If you have auto-collect set as a skill, you'll eat riceballs as soon as you find them! Additionally, apples growing on trees can also actually be eaten to recover strength.[/b]
