Obtainment
Players will need to grind levels and purchase a katana in the starting village in order to have an easier time unlocking the Insect Breathing technique. Players will need to meet the following requirements:
Requirements:
- [Level 15]
- 10,000 Yen
- Complete the “Breathing Technique Quest 1”.

The “Breathing Technique Quest 1” requires players to defeat 25 regular Demons, which won’t take much time, especially if you’re in a party.
This will unlock the first form, and you’ll unlock the proceeding forms with either mastery, quests, or battling bosses. Everything will be explained below.

Clan Pearing
This Breathing Technique pairs best with the Kocho Clan. This Clan offers a damage increase to this Breathing Technique.
Tips
- No matter what you are doing, always hold G to increase your breathing. Each skill costs anywhere between 40-80 Breathing, so make sure you always have it up during leveling.
- [Dragonfly] should be exclusively used as a finishing move, since it can not be blocked, which is why you break the opponents guard with your M1 combo, and cancel into [Dragonfly]
- [PoisonSwap] should be used initially to switch to poison applying moves, then once every opponent has a DOT(damage over time), switch back to damage boosted moves.
