Insect Breathing
”I once believed that the road of happiness continued forever and ever into the distance. When it was destroyed, I realized for the first time that Happiness lies Atop a thin sheet of glass. And just As we were saved…There Are Those whose happiness hasn’t yet been destroyed.. So I wanted to get stronger… And protect them.”-Shinbou Kocho

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.
