Brawlers tend to block all strikes, so using the knee stun combination on them is a waste. This is really the move you want in your arsenal, since it takes weaker enemies out in one simple string, grapplers in two. One branch beyond that is a boost that increases the string even further, so that Wei can knee stun and then kick an enemy in the face. But the knee stun allows you to debilitate regular goons with ease, which gives more breathing room when you're facing off against seven enemies at once.

It might not look like much, especially since it's only upgrading your basic string of moves rather than adding an entirely new move.

I recommend obtaining the knee stun combination first. Once you find one, you can then trade it in for a new move. Many of them can be found just by noting their location during cut-scenes (also, note Tip #8). Your kung fu sensei, who will be available after a main story mission in the early part of the game, can teach you additional moves provided that you give him one of the missing jade statues laying around the city. Of course, you won't get every jade statue until you're late in the main story, so this is mainly for replays.įocus on the knee stun combination first when upgrading melee. If you have the Dim Mak counter earned by returning all of the jade statues, that's a good way to build the meter as well (+30 Triad points for each successful Dim Mak). But oftentimes you'll need to be fast, especially if you're in a mission where your allies can take out enemies while you're preoccupied. Occasionally, you can delay certain parts of the mission by stalling the trigger for the next story scene and rack up Triad points slowly, say, by shooting enemy vehicles until kingdom come. To keep your Triad experience high during a mission, aim for headshots, damage vehicles before blowing them up, and mix up your attacks so that you aren't penalized heavily for repeating a move. So don't worry if you inflict too much property damage while being chased by the cops, lowering your Cop score there are other ways to build it.īy the end of the game, if you haven't reached Level 10 on the Triad bar (and want to reach it), you'll need to replay any missions you think you can improve on by entering the Social Hub. Your cop rank, on the other hand, can be filled quickly and easily by completing tasks set out by Officer Teng. Unlike your cop rank, you can only increase your Triad experience bar to earn additional Triad-based upgrades by filling your Triad score (denoted by red triangles) during missions.
