Arkveld
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: Pin attack, he does a spinning jump and grabs you with one of his chains
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Guard Dash to the left and use the leaping thurst follow up. In this way you avoid and punish the attack
- Notes: I-frame it with a side step. Sounds harder than it is, his attack has a very tiny hitbox. You can side hop left or right depending on your position Charge counter throught it. Most times you won't hit him back, but you will not get pinned
Ajarakan
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: He put his hands inside the ground, causes tremor and a big lava explosion comes out. Position yourself outside of the hitboxes during this phase, guard dash to the side if needed
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Pin attack Guard dash/hop to the outer part of the arm he's dragging on the floor, you outspace it.
Zoh Shia
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: Fire breath (a.k.a Fatalis wannabe a.k.a Teostra daddy): the one where he stands on two legs and spit a continuous stream of fire on the floor
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Create distance with a dash guard back + backhop, the hitzone is smaller than it looks. You can use the time to sharpen/heal He always do this when he reveals his black head, if you're close to him. I like to jump closer to bait this attack and than use one of the options to avoid it. Dash attack in his direction before the fire starts to rain down, you can deal dmg to his tail while he does it. You can also charge counter the first hit and avoid the second by not doing any action. Do not move, do not attack, just stay inside the fire and you're fine, if you got the charge counter on the first tick
- Notes: Yes No Wind pressure Roll through it. If you get hit it doesn't matter, deals no dmg. Also, Wind resist 3 works (but why would you idk)
- You can charge counter it to continue dealing dmg in phase 3, where he doesn't use the rain fire as a follow up to it
- Yes No Zoh Shia novas, arena set on fire with Wylk crystals amplifyng it Destroy the large wylk crystals and stay close to their position. On the transition from phase 1 to 2 thats the only way to deal with the nova. After phase 2 he will use this attack again after a HP thereshold, but you can avoid it by running to his
tail
Gravios
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: Gas attacks: poison, fire and sleep
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Create distance with a dash guard back + backhop. This attack is really fast sometimes and if you're too close you might not be able to avoid it in time. Only fight where Guard up 1 might be optimal, you get a great window by blocking the gases
Nu Udra
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: Pin attack, he puts all his tentacles in his front and has a long windup
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Charge counter it
Jin Dahaad
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: His big nova
- How to avoid it with NO Guard Up? (Lance): Use the rocks on top of the arena, pull on down and hide behind it
- Notes: It's possible to charge counter it, if you want to do it for style points.
Doshaguma
- Unblockable Attacks? Yes
- Blockable with Guard Up? Yes
- Attack description: The attack where he do a heavy slam and pulls the ground He will stand in two legs for a long time before it, and a special wound will appear. Hit the wound with a focus strike and he will topple
