Strategy & Tips

  • Royal Knight's Resolve > Jump L1 does massive damage and stagger
  • The stagger loop chains on most bosses: Jump L1 > critical > repeat
  • Both weapons with Quality +25 scaling provides excellent balanced damage
  • Jump L1 with Claw Talisman does more damage than most weapon skills
  • Mimic Tear doubles the stagger pressure for near-infinite boss stuns
