This is how you get the most out of Blade Wagasa
1. Pay attention to the spin dance bar
If you use the screen, you will definitely notice the bar on the bottom left above your health bar. This is essential if you want to get the most out of the Wagasa. In the green area of the bar, the screen’s attack power is rather mediocre.
The true destructive power of the Wagasa is unleashed when you get into the red zone. Then your attacks cause significantly more damage and you can finish off your opponents a lot more effectively with the screen. Therefore, your goal is to fill up this bar quickly and keep it full over the long term.
But you have to play quite aggressively and constantly attack the opponent or successfully parry, otherwise the bar will go back after a few seconds.
YouTuber PWARGaming explains the importance of the spin dance bar and parry in a video in his weapon guide:
2. Focus on parrying:
The true strength of the umbrella lies in defending against attacks. Try to fend off as many Kemono attacks as possible with the weapon and thereby get your display in the lower left in the red area, and then counterattack with a strong counterattack.
Best of all, parrying consumes stamina, but if successful, you regain stamina. Used correctly, you have such a good basis that you don’t run out of breath too quickly.
Here’s a clip from PWARGaming on reddit showing him expertly using his weapon parry to finish off the kemono:
3. Utilizes the mobility of the screen
Another aspect that makes the screen so strong is the high mobility that you gain from the weapon. Because with the screen you can perform air attacks and move quickly across the battlefield.
The best way to do this is to practice on the training bear which attacks will take you into the air and, above all, where they will take you. Otherwise it can quickly happen that you jump around aimlessly and end up where you didn’t want to go.
But once you get the combo right, you can even stay in the air for a long time. In the YouTube video you can see between 01:44-01:56 how to do this by attacking and parrying in the air. You’ll fly through the area even if you don’t parry successfully, but just by pressing the button to do so.

However, one reads again and again in the comments that it takes some practice to use the Blade Wagasa really well. Above all, as a player you have to get the perfect timing when parrying with a little finesse. Because here the time window in which you successfully fend off an attack is quite short.
But once you get enough practice with the Wasaga, the umbrella in your hands can become the ultimate kemono slayer.
