But I've been devoting my time to Dust and I'm really, really liking it. So Dust is my pick. I think I'm going to go for the platinum but that damned 1,000 hit combo trophy is killing me.
I forgot when and how I got it on the XBLA version, but on PS4 I got it on my first attempt.
Find and equip the "ugly pendent," which will make all your attacks do 0.1 times damage. Then remove anything that boosts your attack power, and find a place with current level enemies, but only the most basic of enemies. I picked one of the first screens in the Sorrowing Meadow area, one with just the basic zombie-like enemies. Here's the area I used:
Now, start a combo, and don't get hit. A few more tips:
Juggling / launching enemies works much better if you roll your thumb across the square and triangle button in one fluid motion. It works every time like this, and it feels great when you're used to it.
After you've attacked with the square button three times in the air--that last one should be an upward slash--hitting triangle will slam your enemy down, at which point you can start to juggle them again.
If you're too far above enemies, use down and triangle to quickly reach the ground again. If you didn't hit an enemy on your way down, use the dust storm when you land.
If enemies are too far away, use the dust storm. Then pick them back up and start to juggle them again.
If you think your combo is about to end, use the dust storm.
Speaking of the Dust Storm, use it a lot, but be careful not to overdo it and mess up your combo.
If you're aggressive enough, enemies won't be able to touch you. Having said that, you should still watch carefully for their attacks, especially when on the ground. If they do wind up for an attack, use the dash to quickly avoid them, and then go for a juggle combo or a dust storm. Don't chance things with the counter system, just avoid their attack and then go back to your combo.
Lastly, you MUST end your combo for it to count. Just dash away from the enemies for long enough, and the combo will end. Don't just keep going until you're hit, or the whole effort will be a waste.
