Here is the gameplay loop that you should try to achieve with this best beginner build in Lost Souls Aside:

• Start the fight with Sword Flurry. If there are mobs of multiple enemies, switch to Aerial Sword Flurry since it will target one enemy only, and you will be airborne.
• Perfect Dodge and Parry any incoming attacks that you can. This will build your Fusion and Burst Pursuit meter, while also dealing a lot of damage.
• Upon a successful parry, chain it to the Burst Pursuit: Obliteration immediately. Since you are vulnerable while charging, an enemy who is already knocked back owing to your parry poses no threat, and you can deal a lot of damage once you release the attack.

• Once your Fusion Merge meter is full, instantly transform and deal damage. Your goal during any fight should be to get to this mode as quickly as possible, and for as many times as possible.
• Use Healing Potion and High Potion when low on health.
