1. Unnamed Nekichi Ba
Unnamed Nekichi Ba is a formidable early-game foe with unpredictable movements, often using consecutive flashes to trick players into using their skills. The core strategy revolves around "breaking the shield - dealing damage": When the BOSS completes a combo or experiences a stagger, holding down the "break shield" skill (which requires unlocking the corresponding skill tree) can knock it down. If energy is sufficient, this can be used repeatedly to quickly deplete the shield gauge. Once the shield is depleted, a four-hit combo can deal significant damage. When the BOSS's health drops to about 1/7, it enters the second phase, with more yellow-light moves but moderate dodge difficulty. However, the shield will fully recharge, requiring another break. At this point, the combo may end with a yellow-light slash, so pay attention to the attack rhythm. When the health is close to half, the BOSS will release a charged instant-kill move, and the player needs to shatter the surrounding orbs within a limited time, while avoiding ranged attacks. Shattering all orbs triggers an execution. When the health is about 1/3, it enters the third phase, with the shield recharging. Breaking the shield again allows for using the Swift Mode to consume health, and triggering the final execution move ends the battle.
2. Abaddon
The battle against Abaddon requires a phased approach: In the first phase, the first part of its dive combo can be blocked, and the second part can be dodged and stunned. While using "break shield" to deplete the shield, you can sneak in some damage during the blocking gaps, and use beta skills to interrupt the enemy's moves when necessary. When the health is close to half, it enters the second phase, where the BOSS uses unblockable yellow-light moves (horizontal wave slash, downward smash, lightning strike, tentacle discharge). Except for the wave slash, which can be dodged by jumping, the other moves require dodging. Additionally, multi-segment attacks that glow red need to be handled by either blocking to consume balance or using beta skills to interrupt.
3. Kong King
The challenge with Kong King lies in the yellow-light jump slam and continuous slam moves. The latter can be avoided by continuously retreating, while the former requires precise perfect dodges. It is recommended to unlock skills that increase the probability of perfect blocks, and once mastered, triggering an execution is not difficult. New players should be careful with their health management to avoid being one-shot.
4. Red Lotus
Red Lotus, as a high-difficulty BOSS in the Nikki DLC, comes with components that extend the knockdown time and recover energy when hit. During the battle, it will continuously suppress the player with knockdowns. The core strategy is to block the BOSS's two major moves; successfully blocking them will lead to victory. The key is timing.
5. Tyrant
Tyrant is characterized by its dual red-handed meatballs, with extremely high damage from its slam attacks. When the protagonist uses a longsword, they can interrupt the attack with a combo during the wind-up phase to sneak in some damage. When the energy bar is full, release a big move to wear down the health, and after triggering the execution animation, be mindful of the dual BOSS fight that follows the story—after defeating the Tyrant, a flying bird monster will appear from behind to ambush, requiring a quick adjustment to face the next challenge.
