Guide to Unlocking Companion Special Attacks in Hi-Fi Rush

Unlocking special attacks for your companions in Hi-Fi Rush enhances your combat strategies and provides unique gameplay options. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to effectively unlock and purchase these moves.

1. Unlocking Companions

The first step to obtaining special attacks is to unlock your companions. These characters join you at various points throughout the game:

– Peppermint: Unlocked during Track 2
– Macaron: Unlocked during Track 4
– Korsica: Unlocked during Track 8

As you progress through the game’s tracks, ensure you complete the necessary objectives to unlock these companions.

2. Purchasing Special Attacks

After you’ve successfully unlocked a companion, you can buy additional special moves from Peppermint’s Shop. Here’s how:

– Accessing Peppermint’s Shop: Visit the shop once your companion is available.
– Navigating the Shop: Look for a dedicated section that lists special moves for your respective companion. Typically, the shop will categorize these moves based on each character.
– Spending Currency: You will need to spend in-game currency, which is typically earned through gameplay or completing specific challenges, to purchase these moves.

3. Equipping Special Attacks for Companions

After buying the special moves, you will need to equip them for use:

– Accessing the Equip Menu: Navigate to the relevant section in Peppermint’s Shop that allows you to manage your special attacks.
– Selecting Moves: Choose the newly acquired moves from your companion’s inventory and equip them.

General Special Attack Information

While the focus is on companions, it’s beneficial to note the following regarding Chai, your main character:

– Equipping Chai’s Special Attacks: Follow a similar process by going to the “Special Attacks” tab in Peppermint’s Shop and switching to the Equip menu.
– Activating Special Attacks: Ensure your Reverb gauge is fully charged. You can activate these attacks by pressing the left and right analog sticks on a controller, or the R key on PC.

Partner Attacks and Challenges

In addition to special attacks, you’ll unlock partner attacks that correlate with each companion:

– Basic Call-In Attacks: Initially, you’ll get a simple call-in attack for each companion as part of their unlock progression.
– Additional Moves: As you purchase more moves, you’ll enhance your combat options further.

Challenges: Be mindful of specific game challenges that may require particular partner attacks or Jam Combo Partner Attacks. These can often be tackled in repeat story runs, allowing you to unlock more content and options.

Conclusion

Following these steps will enable you to unlock, purchase, and equip new special attacks for your companions in Hi-Fi Rush. Delve into Peppermint’s Shop regularly as you progress to maximize your strategic options in battles. Happy gaming!
