Being a touchscreen game, you have to have fast mashing skills (meaning you have to be able to skim through dialogue), especially if you don't have a stylus.

Most of the time you'll be using split kick with Po (this is because the animation is faster, saving a little time) and whirling kick with tigress (team attack will be unlockable soon after the first few quests). Exhausting attack with Tigress is also very effective (same with Po's panda smash). [Panda smash and exhausting attack work better on individual targets, while the other attacks mentioned work better on enemy TEAMS.]

Five Card Fu encounters can be easily beaten through having cards with high numbers (7,8,9) and defeating enemies can get you cards. There aren't that many encounters, so don't focus too much on getting that many cards.

The rest of the game is played normally, since there are no skips known at the moment.
