Hello!

As for landing the Spirit Roundslash in order to up your color gauge, you can try initiating the full combo at a distance, so that when the monster will come for you, only the Roundslash will hit. It takes some practice to do however, because it's a risky method. The simplest way for you would either be flashing, trapping, mounting or tripping the monster if you can't land a full combo when it's standing on its feet.

Note that you can use the Rush-in slash (R after a Fade Slash) to get to Spirit3 -> Spirit Roundslash faster. As for the Spirit slashes (R button), you can mix them in between your regular attacks so that when you see you'll have an longer opening than what you expected, you can land the full combo. Don't hesitate to press R when you have enough spirit gauge, as these attacks are slightly stronger thant X/A attacks.
