  • Basic combo: Shield bashes
  • Forward attack: The most useless attack in the game. Does nothing, other than looks different. (ok, it hits twice, but it's slower than normal attacks)
  • Backwards attack: Shield throw.
  • Side attack: Tabby hates shields too.
  • Finisher: Strong attack with high stagger/break.
  • Aerial attack: Single shield bash. Can't airstep.
  • Blocking: Noctis will block with the shield (shocker). Blocking consumes only 3 mp (0 for some attacks). Weak attacks are deflected by the shield.
  • Counterattack: After blocking, wait half a second and press O. Noctis does a long range shield bash.
