Unlocking Thunder Breathing in Demonfall Roblox

Before you can channel the power of the storm, you'll need to locate its esteemed trainer and complete a series of tasks. The path to learning Thunder Breathing requires both financial preparation and a short journey.

The trainer for Thunder Breathing is an old man named Kujima, also known as Jigoro Kuwajima, the retired Thunder Hashira and Zenitsu's own mentor. You can find his house nestled in the Coast Forest, specifically to the left side, beside a distinctive Wisteria Tree.

To learn Thunder Breathing, you'll need a total of 4,400 Yen. This breaks down into a 4,000 Yen training fee and 400 Yen to purchase 20 soups for an initial quest.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the acquisition process:

1. Gather 20 Soups: Kujima's first task requires you to bring him 20 soups. While he might direct you to a specific village, a useful tip from the community is that you can purchase these 20 soups from the soup shop located near your initial spawn point. This saves travel time as soup prices are consistent across all villages.
2. Deliver a Letter to Marrone: Once you've supplied the soups, Kujima will send you on a delivery quest. You'll need to find a man named Marrone at the Slayer Corps Headquarters. Marrone typically stands in front of the hotel or inn within the Slayer Corps area. Deliver the letter, and he'll provide a cryptic message in return.
3. Pay the Training Fee: After completing Marrone's errand, return to Kujima. He will then ask for the final payment of 4,000 Yen to impart the secrets of Thunder Breathing.

Yen Farming Tip: Trinket Rotation

To efficiently gather the necessary 4,400 Yen, a common player strategy involves a "trinket rotation." Trinkets (often appearing as cups or rings) can be sold for Yen.

Thunder Breathing Overview: Skills & Playstyle

Thunder Breathing (雷の呼吸, Kaminari no kokyū) is characterized by its high-speed, M1-focused combat style, emphasizing quick teleportation and combo extensions. While individual move damage might seem low, its strength lies in chaining these moves together with basic attacks to create deadly sequences.

Core Mechanics and Passive Ability

• Playstyle: Revolves around closing distances rapidly, initiating combos with basic attacks (M1s), and using abilities to extend these combos or reposition.
• Passive: Generates electricity into your sword, increasing the stun duration of your attacks. This is crucial for maintaining pressure and setting up further M1s.

Thunder Breathing Skills

Mastering these skills is essential for any aspiring Thunder Breather:

• First Form: Thunderclap and Flash (壱ノ型 霹靂一閃, Ichi no kata: Hekireki Issen)
  • Effect: The user unsheathes their katana, dashes forward at blinding speeds, and decapitates the opponent. This move is reminiscent of Iaijutsu.
  • Details: Deals 35 damage, 25-second cooldown. It's an auto-execute and guard-break move. Best used from a distance to prevent cancellation. Its direction can be changed while charging, allowing for opponent tracking.
• Thunderclap and Flash, Six Fold (霹靂一閃・六連, Hekireki Issen, Rokuren)
  • Effect: An extension of the First Form, performing Thunderclap and Flash six times in rapid succession with augmented speed and power.
  • Details: Deals 40 damage, 60-second cooldown, ~300 studs range. This move is lock-on/auto-aim and blockable. It consumes a significant portion of your breathing bar. Be aware of its endlag if blocked.
• Second Form: Rice Spirit (弐ノ型 稲魂, Ni no kata: Inadama)
  • Effect: After a short delay, the user teleports to and hits the target multiple times.
  • Details: Deals 20 damage, 50-second cooldown, ~50 studs range. Auto-aim, blockable, and offers I-frames. Crucially, it doesn't knock down, allowing for combo extension. Can be used in the air, making it harder to punish.
• Third Form: Thunder Swarm (参ノ型 聚蚊成雷, San no kata: Shūbun Seirai)
  • Effect: The user surrounds the enemy with waves of arched lightning, attacking from all directions.
  • Details: Deals 20 damage, 35-second cooldown. Blockable and provides I-frames. This move is instant, making it an excellent counter after blocking an opponent's attack.
• Fifth Form: Heat Lightning (伍ノ型 熱界雷, Go no kata: Netsu Kairai)
  • Effect: Unleashes a long-ranged upward sword slash that fires a lightning spark projectile which bursts on contact.
  • Details: Deals 15 damage, 50-second cooldown, ~400 studs range. This move is unblockable. Note that it requires manual aiming with the mouse; third-person camera lock-on will not work.

Mastering Thunder Breathing Combos

Thunder Breathing truly shines when its abilities are woven into fluid combos with your basic M1 attacks. Since many moves have relatively low individual damage but are excellent for extension, M1s are paramount.

Here are some community-reported combo examples to get you started, assuming Kendo Mastery for extra M1 hits where applicable:

• Basic Extension: M1 x3, Third Form, M1 x3, Second Form (immediately after M1), M1 x3, Thunderclap and Flash.
• Opening with Range: M1 x3/4, Fifth Form.
• High Damage Potential: 3x M1s, 2nd Form, 4x M1s, 3rd Form, 4x M1s, Thunderclap and Flash. (Careful not to get stuck underground after Rice Spirit.)
• Aggressive Engage: Rush, Thunder Swarm, M1 x3, Thunderclap and Flash, Rush, M1 x3, Rice Spirit.
• Shotgun Combo: M1 x3, Third Form, M1 x3, Second Form (immediately after M1), M1 x3, move back slightly and use a "shotgun" attack (referring to a close-range burst, possibly from a weapon art), then Thunderclap and Flash.

Remember, practice is key. Get a feel for the timing of each move and how they flow into M1s. The passive stun duration from your electrified sword greatly assists in maintaining combo pressure.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Thunder Breathing

Evaluating Thunder Breathing requires a look at both its advantages and its inherent limitations.

Pros

• Excellent Combo Potential: Can deal significant damage by chaining moves and M1s.
• High Mobility & Range: Teleporting moves like Rice Spirit and Thunder Swarm, combined with long-range attacks like Fifth Form, allow for dynamic engagements.
• Strong Passive: Increased stun duration from your sword's electricity provides crucial breathing room for combo extensions.
• Guaranteed Hits: First Form: Thunderclap and Flash is a reliable guard break and hit, especially from a distance. Second Form: Rice Spirit locks onto enemies and is hard to evade.
• Versatile: Great for both PvP (player vs. player) and PvE (player vs. environment) content, including demon hunting and bosses due to high damage output and knockback.
• Counter Potential: Thunder Swarm is instant, making it an effective counter after blocking an opponent's attack.
• Aerial Utility: Six Roku and Rice Spirit can be used in the air, adding an element of unpredictability.
• Crowd Control: Effective for managing multiple enemies.

Cons

• Low Individual Damage, High Cooldowns: Many moves deal relatively low damage on their own and have long cooldowns, making M1s essential.
• M1 Reliance: Highly dependent on landing M1s to initiate and extend combos. If you struggle with basic attacks, this style will be difficult.
• Blockable Extensions: Many combo-extending moves are blockable, meaning skilled opponents can interrupt your flow.
• Vulnerable to Cancellation: Moves with cast delays are cancellable, and no moves have Hyper Armor, leaving you open if interrupted.
• No Universal I-frames: Unlike some other styles, you don't have consistent I-frames (invincibility frames) across all moves, meaning you can be comboed yourself.
• Aiming Challenges: Fifth Form requires manual aiming, which can be tricky in fast-paced combat or if you exit shift lock.
• Accidental Hits: Six Roku's auto-targeting can hit unintended targets if they are the closest entity.
• Situational Glitches: Player experience indicates you can occasionally get stuck underground if using Rice Spirit on an enemy.
• Hitbox Issues: Even when your player model isn't visible during moves like Six Roku, Rice Spirit, and Thunder Swarm, you still have a hitbox, making you vulnerable.

Build Options & Strategic Tips

To maximize your effectiveness with Thunder Breathing, consider these build and strategic recommendations:

• Skill Point Allocation: You'll need 12 skill points to unlock all the moves for Thunder Breathing. Prioritize these as you level up.
• Kendo Mastery: Investing in Kendo Mastery is highly recommended. It adds extra hits to your M1s, significantly boosting your damage output and combo potential, which is critical for a style so reliant on basic attacks.
• Hybrid Builds: If you choose a Hybrid path, note that the lightning effect of Thunder Breathing changes to black and white, though some yellow and blue elements remain. You can also craft a Dark Thunder Nichirin with Dark Thunder Essence, which synergizes with this aesthetic.
• Movement and Positioning: Practice your movement extensively. Thunder Breathing's strength lies in its ability to quickly close gaps and reposition. Learn to use its teleporting moves not just for offense, but also for evasion or escaping dangerous situations.
• Observe and Adapt: Pay attention to your opponent's blocking patterns and cooldowns. Since many of your combo extenders are blockable, knowing when to commit to a full combo versus when to bait a block is crucial.
• Utilize Passive: Don't underestimate the passive stun. Even a single M1 can briefly stun an enemy, giving you a precious moment to land another hit or activate an ability.

Thunder Breathing offers a thrilling and fast-paced gameplay experience in Demonfall Roblox. With dedication to practice and a keen understanding of its mechanics, you can become a true master of the lightning blade.
