| SP : | Skill points used for fighting skills and raiment skills. |
| Strength : | The power of your physical attacks. |
| Vitality : | Your resistance to enemy attacks. |
| Magic : | The power of fighting skills and some raiment skills. |
| Luck : | Confers a variety of beneficial effects. |
| Gusto : | The power of your active food effects. |
Time
While out on your hunts, it would be prudent to keep an eye on the time of day. Demons grow stronger at night, and without a light source you will be unable to see. Know your limits and return to the mountain pass before dusk to eat a meal and get some much-needed rest. As the days go by, so too will the seasons. Each season lasts for three days, so plan your outings accordingly as you continue to care for the rice.
Quick Attack
A fast strike with your one-handed weapons. Deploy the quick attack in rapid succession to build a combo, and push the left stick upward or downward to change the direction of the combo.
Heavy Attack
A bruising blow with your two-handed weapon. Heavy attacks can also be chained for combo attacks or can be deployed in tandem with quick attacks, but they are slower and leave you more vulnerable.
Fighting Skills
These combat techniques utilize your one-handed and two-handed weapons. Their capacity for damaging and repositioning enemies can turn the tide of even the toughest bouts. It would be wise to learn as many as you can during the course of your journey. Fighting skills will also level up as you use them, so if you find one that suits your combat style, continue to invest in it!
Raiment Skills
These special abilities utilize the divine raiment's powerful reach. They can inflict your enemies with status ailments, weaken their defenses, and so much more. Be sure to take advantage of everything this beloved heirloom has to offer.
