How to unlock the A Touch of Acumen achievement in Sifu - Definitive Guide

This can be done on the Ruthless map. Or Bloodsoaked Walls.

Just try to maintain a 3X multiplier which means not getting hit too many times in a row. Use a variety of attacks and weapons where possible.

Before we begin I would like to say that this guide is based off of vinster's truetrophies trophy guide so if you're looking for some more Sifu help please consider checking out some of his guides!

The goal of this achievement is to get a score of 5,800 or higher

The level I completed this on was Arena pack 2 Level 1 "Ruthless"

The most important thing you'll need for a good score is your multiplier which means that you're going to have to avoid getting hit as much as possible. However, if you do get hit all is not lost, the focus move "calbot" actually increases your multiplier by an entire point (x1 to x2 Or x2 to x3) so if you need to get your multiplier back up calbot is a great way of recovering.

In addition to having a score multiplier, you're going to need to vary your moves. What I found works best for me personally is rotating between charged backfist (hold Y), crotch punch (up, up, X), raining strikes(Y, PAUSE, Y), and sweep (down, up, Y) followed by a double punch attack on a downed enemy. My moveset was not necessarily in that particular order, I just happened to use that set of moves. If you have another set of moves you like then use that set. You just want to make sure you're not repeating moves to often.

Finally, try finishing enemies when you can. I believe that it gives you more score but I am not 100% sure.

This achievement can be a little frustrating to achieve so just remember to always block early to avoid hits, use calbot when you do get hit, and vary your moveset enough to get a good score.

EDIT: Huge thanks to | King Leo | for the fantastic score grinding method, check out his comment below on how to perform it for some free early score!

If you are having trouble with this achievement, you can also farm the first four opponents for points. Just parry their attacks and push them away, when you have enough focus meter for the Calbot move, use it. For me they slowly died around the time I accumulated 2,000 points

Anyone else has this achievement bug?

I've got a score of over 5800 on this level - 100 more than needed, and it hasn't popped.

For a trophy, you only need to pass one gold test, not all.
Got the trophy on the first try in the "Ruthless" arena (efficiency), it wasn't perfect, with a pretty decent number of mistakes and still got gold. To win the trophy you need to score 5800 points in this arena. Video guide (ru).
Arena "Building Caretaker" (efficiency) where you need to score 10,000 points. It is very easy, you don’t even have to try very hard to score so many points. We deal with the group on the first floor, go higher and stand near the railing and wait until they come closer, then press and select the “Hit to the eyes” technique, then throw ( + ) and repeat this all the way to the top. Video guide
I found a way to easily (but take a long time) to complete any “Efficiency” arena for gold! Video guide . To do this you will need: parry/dodge and the technique “Kick from a crouch” (hold square) this is the only technique that does not kill. Actually, with the help of it we will dial up the score. We leave one enemy and make 4 hits, then the points stop giving, we wait for the enemy’s attack and parry/dodge it and then again 4 hits, etc. If possible, we use provocation and when we have a concentration meter, we also use the “Calbot” technique to increase the multiplier. In general, it turns out that for 1000 points, we spend about 8-9 minutes.
The required score for gold in the Efficiency arena:
Grandmaster (8000)
Merciless (5800)
Gang Revenge (9500)
Under the spotlights (10000)
Raid on the block (11500)
Building caretaker (10000)
It is a trap! (7500)
Old man (8300)
Bloodlust (9500)
A Walk in the Park (11000)
Important Lessons (7900)

The simplest method. In the arena, in the “Merciless” test, we leave one ordinary mob, bring it to the finishing state, but do not finish it off. We stand in the middle of the room, then we simply parry the blow and at the moment the finishing move is written, we push into the wall (cross + square), the mob crashes into the wall and points slowly drip, but do not do it too close to the wall or the mob will be killed. In this test we need to score more than 5800 points.

In the "Gang's Revenge" challenge from the second set of arenas, it may happen that one of the opponents gets bugged and blocks all your attacks, except for enhanced and focus ones.
Stuff as many combos as you like on it. Gold Seal Challenge - 9500 points.
