Any advice for boss rush? I'm at (I think) 5th room and I reach that samurai boss that has 3 healthbars. How do I kill him? at 3rd healthbar he gets some purple aura buff, cant break it, dodge it, block it. It strips all my buffs and just kills me. Insta killing him does not seam to work either, looks like I cant kill him before he attacks. How do I beat him??
She autodies after the attack, you just have to survive it. The attack combo is all lightning element with some being physical attacks and others being certain hit so using lightning resist ring + bunker blade helps a lot. DON'T GUARD. Guard reduces your evasion by -100% and her deadliest attacks in the combo can actually be dodged. Get 30% evasion from gear, like empty ring +3 and skyknight helm or if you have quick dance you can just use that and dodge at the same time. If you can stack 60% evasion from gear, you can do quick dance + dodge + guard though and in that case throwing in soul shield helps too. Also have knight's pride up and attack debuffs on her, stoneskin and phalanx too if you can squeeze them in. Don't bother with stat buffs as the first attack dispels them.
Ring setup should be lightning stone ring, black rabbit ring, ressurectionist ring, empty ring +3 or leaf ring. Shield can be mercury shield (change ressurectionist ring to something else in this case), griffin or target shield (both give +15% evasion with griffin shield also giving a guard bonus), or mock turtle shield (switch lightning ring in this case). Armor is probably angel wrap for more hp and helmet being deep sea helmet for defense or onimusha/lawyer for offence, maybe sky knight if you want to squeeze out some more evasion. Use duchess covenant for +1 action if your agi is >6k since 3k is the soft cap for agi. If not then node for even more hp or lorina for lightning resist so you can change out lightning resist on other gear.
My strat was ungo bungo it. Switch to Knights Sword get the Knights Pride buff going for more hp. Keep up your omnibuffs up a. o. requiem. Before Momotaro goes all out in the last orb phase. Switch to Bunker or any other defense weapon if you want to make sure to survive that attack. I always switched to Titan Sword after it and just multiattack. Usually that killed it. Defensive Ring Combo can also help. IF you want to tank it out with more HP.
Honestly never knew exactly how that orb mechanic worked. Usually switched to defensive weapons tanking it. Before i gained enough stats to spam several attack moves killing her.
The orbs are her lives/phases. First one uses deviledge skillset, second one uses uchigatana, last orb is just the one combo attack and if you survive it she seppuku. You cannot kill her when she is on the last orb, you have to take the attack.
