How to Defeat the Blacksmith in Goddess of Victory: New Hope - Guide and Strategy Introduction

In the new hope of the Goddess of Victory, players will encounter many powerful boss challenges, and the Blacksmith is one of them. To prevent everyone from getting stuck and to better engage in battle, today I will introduce how to defeat the Blacksmith in the new hope of the Goddess of Victory. After mainly understanding the Blacksmith's main moves in combat, as well as the lineup and corresponding strategies to deal with it, you can then overcome it.

First, let's take a look at the Blacksmith's main skills. He has a large-caliber rifle, attacking three times each, randomly targeting two targets, and there is also a certain chance of focusing fire on one person. If focused fire appears, it can easily kill someone. The second skill is the black round missile, throwing out eight each time, damaging two targets. Although they can be destroyed, their health is very high, so it is not recommended to spend a lot of time hitting the missiles, as this can easily lead to insufficient challenge time. The third is a charged ultimate move, which after the countdown ends, hits the entire screen, easily wiping out the team. You need to manually control the main character to take it down.

The fourth is the tentacles, where the Blacksmith extends its tentacles, locking onto one target character and causing dizziness. After the countdown ends, the locked target will immediately die, and you must manually control the main character to take it down. In terms of the lineup, you can choose Noice, Rita, Lufy, Divine Punishment, Alice, and others. There are also some replaceable characters, such as Lufy who can be replaced by Sandy or Dora. You can use an infinite taunt plus healing strategy for the battle, using Noice's second skill Chorus, which, when fully charged, adds a provocation and a passive buff that increases maximum stamina, allowing for global taunting of the boss and continuous healing for Noice.

In terms of techniques, disable auto-aim, and use Noice's 1.8-second charge before releasing, which allows for continuous healing and taunting the BOSS. During the rifle skill, make sure to continuously apply the Chorus buff to Noice, ensuring a heal during the attack, and you must ensure Noice's level is high enough to survive a round of rifle attacks. Since Noice is constantly taunting the boss, the missiles will only lock onto Noice, and when approaching, judge the direction and dodge accordingly.

After reading my guide, you should now understand how to defeat the Blacksmith in the new hope of the Goddess of Victory. If your team's overall level is high enough, you can end the battle in a short time, so the specific operations do not need to be too complex. But if the level is not high enough, you will need to compensate with skillful operation, so strength is the most important.
