kicks (-> [X] [X] [X]...). Swift Espada ([A] [A] [X]) can also help you.

Difficulty: 2/5
My Difficulty: 1/10

1st Battle [1]:

Experience: None

Summary: Straightforward.
2nd Battle [2]:
REQUIEM vs. Maxi
[Rank]
[Weapon]
Experience: None
Gold: 100
Summary: Straightforward.
BOSS [*^*]:
REQUIEM vs.- Yoshimitsu
[Rank] Chief of Minkar
[Weapon] Zantetsuken
Experience: 400
Gold: 1600
Chapter Unlocked: Benetnasch
Stage Unlocked: Carnival
Special Feature: Yoshimitsu unlocked.
Summary: The boss may give you a bit of difficulty. Just know that
Yoshimitsu likes to delay some of his attacks, making guarding tedious.
C. Chapter Three: Benetnasch (The Restless Benetnasch)
Stage 1: Carnival
Arena: Hwangseo Palace/Phoenix Court day.
Objective: You cannot hold your footing at the edge of the stage.
Defeat the enemy with a ring out!
Difficulty: 2/5
My Difficulty: 1/10
Battle:
REQUIEM vs. Charade
[Rank] Random Weapon
[Weapon]
Experience: 700
Gold: 1000
Levels Unlocked: Talitha Gambling Den and Diphda Temple
Special Feature: Charade unlocked.
Summary: Somewhat like the Village of the Arche, this battle should be
quite easy to win. Work on ring outs in Practice mode if you have
trouble. Link's Arm Twist (Approach enemy [A] + [B]) and Piggyback
Throw (Approach enemy from the left [A] + [B] or [Y] + [B]) are useful
here.
Stage 2: Talitha Gambling Den
Arena: Lakeside Coliseum (barred)
Objective: Receive heavy damage when knocked against the ground or wall.
Defeat the enemy under this condition!
Difficulty: 2/5
My Difficulty: 1/10
Battle:
REQUIEM vs.- Same as last time.
[Rank] Emperor of the Irion
[Weapon]
Experience: 700
Gold: 1000
Level Unlocked: Benetnasch Harbor
Summary: Remember that Vertical attacks will help with knocking LEON
down. Attacks that knock LEON against the wall are sparse, but Link's
Double Spin Slash (<- [Y] [A]; A can be held for more damage) and
Raphael's Enveloping Stocatta (vertical (down),(diagonal down left), [Y])
can knock the opponent onto the ground and into the wall.
Stage 3: Diphda Temple
Arena: Eurydice Shrine Gallery
Objective: Throws are more effective. Defeat the enemy!
Difficulty: 2/5
My Difficulty: 2/10
Battle:
REQUIEM vs. Raphael
[Rank]
[Weapon]
Experience: 700
Gold: 500
Subchapter Unlocked: Schedar
Stage Unlocked: Stone Temple
Summary: Don't bother with normal attacks. The likelihood is that
the opponent will Guard Impact or guard against them, so just follow
the instructions and throw Raphael around.
Stage 4: Benetnasch Harbor
Arena: Pirates' Alcove
Objective: The enemies' weapons have poison, so you will go numb if you
are damaged! Defeat all of the enemies under this condition!
Difficulty: 2/5
My Difficulty: 3/10
Battle:
REQUIEM vs. Maxi- Cervantes
[Rank] Ivy King of Pirates
[Weapon] Voldo Firangi
Experience: 800
Gold: 2500
Chapter Unlocked: Mizar
Stage Unlocked: Al Gieba Ruins
Special Feature: Cervantes unlocked.
Summary: This stage will probably give you a bit of difficulty. Earlier
combos mentioned for Talim, Link, and Raphael may help you, but this is
a gret time to learn command lists for your best characters. Good luck!

Triple Botta in Tempo (-> [Y] [Y] [Y]) multiple times for a cheap win.
You can also try Talim's Salisi Razor ([Y] [Y] [X]) with a couple of
kicks (-> [X] [X] [X]...). Swift Espada ([A] [A] [X]) can also help you.

Special Feature: Yoshimitsu unlocked.
Summary: The boss may give you a bit of difficulty. Just know that
Yoshimitsu likes to delay some of his attacks, making guarding tedious.
C. Chapter Three: Benetnasch (The Restless Benetnasch)

Objective: You cannot hold your footing at the edge of the stage.
Defeat the enemy with a ring out!

Battle:
REQUIEM vs. Charade
[Rank] Random Weapon
[Weapon]
Experience: 700
Gold: 1000
Levels Unlocked: Talitha Gambling Den and Diphda Temple
Special Feature: Charade unlocked.
Summary: Somewhat like the Village of the Arche, this battle should be
quite easy to win. Work on ring outs in Practice mode if you have
trouble. Link's Arm Twist (Approach enemy [A] + [B]) and Piggyback
Throw (Approach enemy from the left [A] + [B] or [Y] + [B]) are useful
here.

REQUIEM vs.
[Rank] Emperor of the Irion
[Weapon]
Experience: 700
Gold: 1000
Level Unlocked: Benetnasch Harbor
Summary: Remember that Vertical attacks will help with knocking LEON
down. Attacks that knock LEON against the wall are sparse, but Link's
Double Spin Slash (<- [Y] [A]; A can be held for more damage) and
Raphael's Enveloping Stocatta (vertical (down),(diagonal down left), [Y])
can knock the opponent onto the ground and into the wall.

Battle:

the opponent will Guard Impact or guard against them, so just follow
the instructions and throw Raphael around.
Stage 4: Benetnasch Harbor
Arena: Pirates' Alcove
Objective: The enemies' weapons have poison, so you will go numb if you
are damaged! Defeat all of the enemies under this condition!
Difficulty: 2/5

Summary: This stage will probably give you a bit of difficulty. Earlier
combos mentioned for Talim, Link, and Raphael may help you, but this is
a gret time to learn command lists for your best characters. Good luck!
