Kena: Bridge of Spirits Combat & Skills Guide
While Kena: Bridge of Spirits has a lovely and cheerful aesthetic, it masks a fun combat system. Kena can use her staff for melee attacks and her bow-and-arrow for ranged combat.
The game can initially be easy, but later boss fights can be a tad challenging. Here are some tips on what skills to get first once you acquire your cache of spirit shards. Controls and inputs are following Xbox/PC controller inputs.
Your early spirit shards should be invested in this powerful attack. To perform it, hold your Heavy Attack button, then press X while letting go of the attack. You’ll do a cool slow-motion heavy AoE hammer attack that deals a lot of damage. You’ll need this to deal with all boss (or boss-type enemies) later on, when they have an opening. And they usually will have an opening after a frenzied attack or anything similar.
Your Light Attack has a pretty decent range and arc, making it easy to knock back weaker enemies and interrupt their attacks. Abuse this when clearing weaker mobs so that you can put your focus on the big bads and Sprout Commanders.
We charged our Heavy Attack for barely a second, and yet somehow it can break enemy shields and deal a decent amount of damage. Keep that in mind if you’re dealing with shielded enemies.
Due to Kena’s more forgiving combat mechanics and the fact that it feels like a “baby version” of Dark Souls combat in most parts, your spirit arrow’s hitboxes are very generous. Shots that would normally miss in other difficult games will land and hit in Kena: Bridge of Spirits. And it’s not like you’ll be running out of arrows if you’re a really terrible shot. So fire away!
You need to be precise with your parries in Kena: Bridge of Spirits. One wrong move and you’ll either eat a hit which will cost you a lot of health, or have your shield drained exponentially. It’s usually worth it to die a few times in a boss fight before getting their parry windows right; Kena’s checkpoint system is pretty forgiving.
By pressing the aim button while in the air, you slow down time until you land. This means you can aim with your bow properly while this is happening. It’s very useful and incredibly abuseable.
