Infinity Blade Game Guide, Treasure Locations,Tips and Tricks

How to get stat points fast:

1. Save up money, about 50k+ coins
2. Buy every cheap weapon, armor, helmet, ring, shield etc.
3. Restart to bloodline 1 while keeping all your gear.
4. Equip all your cheap gear that you haven't mastered yet.
5. Since your enemies will be level 1 or so, you can beat them with your weak weapons
6. Once you master that low ranked gear then you'll get a stat point that you can use to upgrade.
7. Upgrade and then equip new unmastered gear and repeat this cycle on bloodline 2 (or 1 if you beat Godking)

 Combos:

There are 3 types of combos, 3, 4, and 5 hit combos. They are labeled huge, mega and super. the combinations for these are relative, meaning they can be performed starting from any side, right, left, up or down. For example a 3 hit combo can be up-down-up, or the same one mirrored down-up-down, or starting from right or left: right-left-right or left-right-left. The same goes for 4 and 5 hit combos so I'll only give the combination starting from up, but you can start anywhere and adjust your combination.
4-hit combo: up-up-down-down
5-hit combo: up-down-left-right-up

If you perform all 3 combos in one fight, you will get an achievement.

Defending:

As far as blocking, dodging and parrying goes, here is what I think so far:
The difficulty goes up from blocking to dodging to parrying.
blocking is the easiest, but you have a limited number of blocks depending on your shield strength.
Dodging should usually be done in the opposite direction of the strike when blocking horizontal strokes. With vertical strokes it seems to work in both directions.
When parrying you should also parry in the direction where the stroke comes from, but you have more directions to cover and the timing is more critical. Off hand and shield attacks seem to be impossible to parry.

Choosing a more difficult defense will leave the opponent vulnerable for a longer time which gives you more time for your counter and opens up more "stab" opportunities (when for a short moment you see a circle around some body part of your enemy which you click). Stabbing gives you an even longer opening for your counter attack.
After defending the last attack of an attack series or interrupting a series by stabbing, depending on your enemy's attack and your defense, you can fit in a 3, 4 or 5 hit combo.

Special Attack:

After you use your special attack (the one that charges when dealing or taking damage), you can fit in a long combo.
The fight is interrupted twice when your enemy goes below a certain amount of hitpoints. If you want to use the full potential of your special attack, make sure not to use it right before reaching one of these interruptions, otherwise your nice 5 hit combo will be interrupted by a short cutscene.
Your special attack also interrupts your opponent's current attack series, so if you missed a defense and he is hitting you with one strike after the other, you can quickly use your special attack to interrupt him and avoid further damage.

Magic:

Magic attacks can deal huge amounts of damage. Make sure to stick to damage types that your opponent has no immunity against. The healing spell is also extremely useful.

Items and opponent's stats:

The meaning of the symbols for health, fire, ice and poison was already explained, they give you the damage and immunity stats of your items and opponents opponents. It helps a lot to equip defensive equipment with protection against your opponent's damage type and weapons and rings with damage that he is unprotected against.

For levelling so far I simply choose the items in their order in the shop. Eventually you want to master them all anyway and this way there is no problem with opponents becoming too strong (so far at least).
