Infinity Blade Walkthrough [Guide]

Infinity Blade is a one on one fighting game with some RPG elements thrown in. It requires good precision and coordination as you battle different enemies until you finally come face-to-face against the God King to exact revenge for killing your father. It is filled with magic, fantasy, and non-stop action as you embark on a quest unlike any other.

Gameplay
Players of Infinity Blade will take on the role of several descendants of a hero whose father was killed by the God King. As players traverse through the castle where the main antagonist resides, he will be basing several different enemies that will surely test their mettle in battle. The God King is also the keeper of the Infinity Blade, and this is also where the storyline evolves.

Each battle is an opportunity to improve on your character, as experience points and coins will be earned in order to upgrade statistics and purchase gear that will make you much more formidable in battle. Thus, the more battles you participate in, the better you chances against the almighty God King.

Battles
As the player journeys within the castle, they will be tasked to defeat a variety of enemies, with each having different fighting styles. Difficulties also increase as you go deeper in your journey. Thus, players must be able to develop good offensive and defensive strategies in order to be victorious.

Attacks can be done by simply swiping at the screen. Multiple swipes may result in a combo, which will increase the XP that you earn as well as hasten your enemy’s defeat. attacks can also be used to parry attacks made by enemies, which is just one of the many ways that you can defend against your attacker.

Aside from parrying, players can also dodge attacks. This is done by clicking on the designated buttons on the screen. Players can dodge either to the left or the right. In addition, players can also use their shield to block attacks.

Once players parry, dodge, or block, an enemy might expose a window of vulnerability where he would be open to attack. This window of opportunity depends on what type of defense you used. Parrying provides the longest window with blocking having the shortest. Dodging gives you an average window of opportunity.

Of course, it is important to note that enemies can also perform these maneuvers, and some of their attacks cannot be blocked by a shield, so it is important to mix your defense options depending on the situation. Also, it would not be wise to simply slash away at your enemies as you might be open to attacks if they are able to successfully parry, dodge, or block your attempts to deal damage.

The battle ends if the health of either warrior is completely depleted. Either way, players would still be able to earn XP and coins even if you lose a battle, although you might be forced to restart all battles if you are killed by the God King. Otherwise, you would simply have to fight the enemy again.

Super Attacks
Aside from usual attacks, there is a Super Attack that the player can use to deal heavy damage to enemies. This is symbolized by a gauge that is visible on the screen. This gauge fills up as you attack opponents, and this could be unleashed by tapping on it once it is full. Using Super Attacks is a convenient way to finish off powerful enemies, although you should make sure that it will result in a successful hit.

Magic
Magic can also be used aside of physical battles. Magic can also be used like the Super Attack, which basically means that it also has a separate gauge that slowly regenerates over time. When the meter is full, players can tap on the Magic symbol, which will cause a symbol to appear on the screen. The player must then draw the symbol displayed in order to unleash a spell.

There are different kinds of spells, ranging from attack spells to healing spells. Rings can be equipped, which are used to conjure up spells.

Leveling Up
As players do battle, they will be able to earn experience points, or XP. If enough XP is earned, players will level up, and they will be rewarded with skill points that they can use to either upgrade their health, attack, defense, or magic statistics. These are permanent buffs and will be carried over even when your character dies.

Equipment can also be leveled up as you use them, and when a player has earned all available XP for a particular item, it is said that he has already mastered said equipment. However, mastering equipment will limit the XP that a player will earn, so it is important to upgrade your gear once it has been mastered.

Inventory
Different kinds of items can either be purchased, dropped and collected from enemies, or found in various chests as you travel within the castle. Items include weapons, helmets, shields, armor, rings, and even potions that will help you regenerate your health. Items to be purchased from the store will require coins which are either earned during battle or also collected from chests, or purchased using real life currency.

Different items provide different boosts to your stats as well as both attack and defensive skills. Some gear also have both elemental affinities and immunities, which means that players can either deal additional damage to enemies weak against a certain element, or minimize damage caused by weapons under certain elements.

Make it a point to master different types of equipment with different types of elemental affinities, as well as boosts for certain skills that you will be using depending on the enemy that you will be facing. Make sure to purchase items once they are available so that you will have the best possible equipment, giving you a bigger chance of winning your battles.

Tips and Tricks
Battles can be quite difficult, especially during the latter stages of your quest. However, these tips will improve your chances of defeating the God King and exacting your vengeance upon him.

When doing battle, it is important to be patient and observe attack patterns rather than simply attacking head on. By discovering how enemies attack or defend, you can find a potential chink in their armor that you can exploit, giving you an easier time to defeat your enemies.

It is also important to have good defensive strategies such as parrying, dodging, and blocking. Master these moves and use them as much as possible, as these would be able to provide you with some great opportunities to beat your opponents into oblivion.

Also, be mindful of both your Super Attack and Magic meters. These moves are much more effective than physical strikes, so take advantage of them as much as you can. Make sure to time these perfectly to ensure maximum effectiveness.

It is also recommended that you look at your enemy’s elemental strengths and weaknesses and adjust your equipment based on these. Like most RPGs, certain enemies can absorb certain elements, and you can also deal extra damage if you have elemental weapons or magics that your opponent is weak to. These can really turn the tide of battle for you.

With regards to currencies, run around and look for treasure chests in order to increase your stash of gold. You can also equip helmets that will provide you with a boost that will allow enemies to drop more coins once they have been defeated.

Do not lose faith if you lose your first couple of battles, or even if you lose against the God King on your first few tries. Each battle will make you stronger on your next playthrough, so make sure to keep at it and try to reach the highest level possible. Also, max out on your skills and master several equipment in order to make them, and you, more effective during combat.

Lastly, update the game whenever possible. Chair Entertainment and Epic Games constantly release updates that will provide players with new content as well as additional modes that you can use to further improve on your skills.
