  • Players can adjust incoming and outgoing damage, plus the rate at which they break an enemy’s posture.

  • The mode can increase difficulty by raising enemy aggression, shrinking the perfect-dodge window, and increasing incoming damage.

  • Using Assist Mode will not prevent players from earning trophies or achievements.
