Combat Focus | Tips Castlevania: LoS 2 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Combat Focus is represented by a focus meter in the bottom of the screen. It fills whenever you strike an enemy and it gets emptied when you take damage or use any other skill or weapon besides the Shadow Whip. When it becomes full, the gem at the center will start glowing and every following attack to any enemy will drop a Blood Orb from them, at the point of impact. Those Orbs can be picked up by you to replenish your supply of Void / Chaos Magic

The speed of filling of the Combat Focus bar depends on two things:

• Difficulty level - the higher the difficulty level that you are playing on, the more you will have to hit enemies to fill it completely. On the easiest (Twilling Knight) you will only need a few hits, but on Lord of Shadow or Prince of Darkness you will have to work hard to fill it.
• Type of attacks - the more advanced and harder hitting attacks, the faster the bar will fill. It can be simply said that "the more stylish you fight, the faster you will fill it".

Remember, that the Combat Focus bar will be emptied (or will drop down slowly) when:

• you will get hit - it will be emptied;
• you won't land a successful hit on any enemy in a certain amount of time (it depends on the difficulty level you are playing on) - it will drop down slowly;
• you will use any skill or different weapon than Shadow Whip - it will be emptied instantly
