And, by adding 66% damage roughly to each strike, the damage is quite significant. However, by using Strong instead of Quick Attacks this isn’t entirely the case. Low Stance with any weapon usually does poor damage compared with other stances, and this is also generally true with Tonfas as well. This Build is amplified further with the addition of Poison, which not only provides damage over time, but also increases Melee Damage by about 66% with the way we are set up. The Tonfas do not have this issue in Low Stance, allowing you to take advantage of these things such as Health Gain on Strong Attack, Ailment Clear on Strong Attack, or even Imbue Purity on Strong Attack if you wish.

What’s really great about this Build is that there are many things that take boost Strong Attacks in the game, including Guardian Spirits, but they are often hard to time correctly with slower Weapons. Sometimes you will not be able to perform this entire combo, but usually you’ll stagger most enemies part way through, which will allow you to continue the combo. Then you’ll Ki Pulse, to use Demon Dance and follow up with Pulverize: Earth. You’ll comb with Triangle, Triangle, and then you’ll press Square to use the Skill Heavenly Chain to strike even faster.

You’ll want to be lined up directly since this attack change doesn’t turn well, and tends to go forward in a straight line. The way this Build works is that you’ll begin attacking an enemy head on with Strong Attack from Low Stance. This provides you some protection, since you have to stay up in the face of enemies often, and it isn’t safe to do so if they can attack you back. Tonfas do exceptional Ki Damage with Strong Attacks, do so very quickly in Low Stance, and this can be boosted even further with passive bonuses and effects.

The Heavenly Apocalypse Build uses a combination of Strong Attacks in quick succession to rip Ki off of enemies, disabling them for Grapples and Final Blows often, or simply allowing you to stun lock them with further attacks.
