Watch Out For Your Blade Twin's Demon Claw Attacks

"The Plot To Assassinate Harris" mission reveals that your hunch was correct; your Blade Twin is alive. However, they did not leave the fight on the Black Ship unscathed. Your twin now wields a mechanical prosthetic arm. And this new arm is extremely dangerous!

Compared to other boss battles you've encountered so far, your Blade Twin has an abundance of Martial Skills. Your Blade Twin will wield the same primary weapons you equipped during "Infiltrating The Black Ship," the mission when yo♛u were both separated. There🃏fore, some of the Martial Skills you'll encounter will vary.

In addition to these weapon-based Martial Skills, your Blade Twin will have another set of Martial Skills that utilize their Demon Claw. These attacks are alarmingly lethal. Here is what yo♉u need to look out for and how you should respond:

Impart Extra Damage With Status Ailments

As we saw in the battle against 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Matthew Perry aboard the Black Ship, incremental damage is a game-changer in any boss battle. Now, you can access more tools to inflict status ailments on your enemies.

Tools And Weapons That Grant Affinities

• Affinity Whetstones: Now that you can access apothecaries, you can buy whetstones that will imbue your primary weapons with particular affinities.
  • Fire Whetstones burn your opponent on contact.
  • Toxic Whetstones poison your opponent on contact.
  • Paralytic Whetstones paralyze your opponent on contact.

• Arrowhead Oil And Poison: Piercing your Blade Twin with an arrow adorned with oil or poison can inflict a status ailment on them safely from a distance. This is an excellent option for falling back while your allies occupy them.
• Fire Pipe: If you've developed the Fire Pipe with Igashichi, it will be a godsend against your Blade Twin. It's like bringing a flamethrower to a sword fight!
• Black Gunpowder: You can add Black Gunpowder to Earthenware Balls to create fire bombs. It's not the best option for an enclosed battle like this, but it makes a decent last resort.

Remember that you still have options if you run out of ailment-inflicting weapons and items. Countersparking one of your Blade Twin's bomb attacks will grant yo𒉰ur weapon a Fire Affinity for a short period!

Fight Near Walls And Pillars To Avoid Gatling Gun Shots

You'll hear the Ballroom's stained glass window crash open about halfway through the battle against your Blade Twin. This crash is caused by the impact of a Gatling gun aimed at you and your allies. This surprise assault can hand🍬 your Blade Twin the battle if you don't have a plan to 🅘avoid the bullets.

The Gatling gun has limited range. It can move about forty-five degrees left and right and struggles with targets directly beneath it. Therefore🉐, your goal is to move the🅰 battle beyond this range.

Usually, we wouldn't recommend cornering yourself in an enclosed arena. However, this tactic is precisely what you need to avoid getting pelted by the Gatling gun. Stay close to the Ballroom's left, right, and back walls to hide from the gunfire. Avoid the Ballroom's entrance wall since it directly face𝓀s the window, putting you in the line of fire.

There are several structural pillars in the Ballroom. Use them to quickly take cover when you can't get out of the Gaꦚ♌tling gun's range.

Adjust Your Combat Style To Your Blade Twin's Weapon

Your Blade Twin is your first enemy with multiple primary weapons. This means they can switch out weapons t🌳o gain a Counterspark Compatibili𝐆ty advantage against you. But what does that mean?

We talked at length about Counterspark Compatibility in our . In short, this means that a combat style's type can give you an advantage or disadvantage against different weapons. This compatibili🔴ty is indicated by a small arrow next to your opponent's health bar.

• Blue up-arrows mean you have the advantage
• Red down-arrows mean they have the advantage
• White opposing arrows mean you have no advantage or disadvantage

Without getting into particulars, you want to see blue up-arrows next to your Blade Twin's health bar. If you don't see blue up-arrows, you need to change your combat style, switch ಌyour weapon, or switch control 𝐆to a character with an advantageous combat style.

Adjust your combat style whenever your Blade Twin swaps weapons. Doing so will lead to more successful countersparks, depleting your Blade Twin's Ki and breaking their stance. Then, you can land c🐼ritical hits that will l🦂ead you closer to victory.
