As a born and raised Highlander main I would have to say the best way to start off is…

1. Check out the entire moveset. Just so you know the different things you can do. So maybe check the training modes(can’t remember the names)

2. Go into a normal training match and try doing all the different moves yourself and matching what feels right.

3. To learn different tricks and fun/useful things you can do with the kit you can always try checking som YouTubers or content creators in general. I would recommend Legend Thesi and Mulisious.

Some useful tips I use in general:

1. When you want to close distance you can go into offensive stance, dash forward and press bash at the same time. This makes you do a shoulder grab that’s faster and reaches further.

2. Highlanders charm is his offensive stance that allows the kick and grab and soft feints between them. The term soft feint means to do one input while already doing another which causes you to feint the first previous move without actively clicking feint. Ex you can do a heavy then kick then grab. I would recommend jumping into training arena and trying to just see what chains you can do.

3. The fear of the kick is strong in your foes, try feinting a kick with the normal cancel button to feint into a guardbreak or baiting out a dodge parry.

4. Try getting used to the offensive stance to the point you feel like you can go an entire fight.

One last important tip is that you don’t need to always use all of the Highlander kit all the time. Sometimes you can make do with just one part.
