During combat, players will control Raidou in the battle arena as he engages in real-time action combat against enemy demons. His ally demons, meanwhile, are AI-controlled, attacking foes and supporting Raidou and other party members. That said, these demons cannot avoid enemy attacks.

This is where Safeguarding comes in. This mechanic makes the allied demons immune to all incoming damage. However, it also makes them unable to fight back. Safeguarding is best used against huge AOE (area of effect) attacks unleashed by challenging bosses, which can cover the entire arena at times.

Here's how players can toggle Safeguard on and off:

• On PC: Press the H key on the keyboard
• On console: Press the Left Stick on the controller

Pressing the button again after Safeguarding will let the demons act freely again. Players can use this mechanic as many times as required since it has no cooldowns.

We recommend using this tool only when the bigger attacks occur, as demons can get away with a few bruises, especially if players have healing spells or items equipped. That said, some level of micromanagement is still needed as players must also simultaneously control Raidou as he fights off hordes of enemy demons.
