The combat posture in "Royal 8" is a very powerful ability, but many players do not know the timing of using combat posture. It is actually very simple. You'd better leave the sideways button to a particularly powerful enemy. Used in small amounts of battles, which doesn't mean you should never use the side shift button when facing multiple enemies.
When will the battle posture be used in the Rulong 8 Legend
As often happens in the Dragon series, the quasi-locking side-shift button (called "fighting posture" in the control menu) comes at a price. In every Dragon-like game, you lose your sprint ability, which also applies to Pirates of Hawaii, but the unique thing about this game is that sideways can also deprive you of the command to jump. So you not only lose the ability to quickly reposition, but also one of the best group control methods.
You'd better leave the sideways button for use when fighting a small number of particularly powerful enemies. This is not to say that you should never use the side shift button when facing multiple enemies, there are actually some situations where you want to take advantage of your quick side-step action, which can only be used when moving sideways.
That being said, you will hold the sideways button more frequently when fighting the boss, because in these battles, fast pace is king. It is not a black or white situation, just be careful about the threat you are currently facing and realize the pros and cons of holding the "Fighting Pose" button for a long time.
