Prologue
Excuse my english, I'm from Czech republic. Have fun playing the game.
Relic Maze

Lilac: Get rid of his arm using dragon boost when being within the arm - biggest damage

Carol: Wildkick everytime you're in danger. You can avoid throwing scythes by running
against his jumps usually

Milla: Phantom burst. It deals biggest damage
Fortune Night

Lilac: When encountering Serpentine, jump over his shots and try to attack him every once you
do so. Keep on a lookout for his flamethrower attack and if you run into dead end, dragon boost
through him. His "rain blast" has to be avoided by running away from him. WHen dealing with
Robopanther - cyclone his head, jump over ion cannon - it always follows same pattern. When he
launches missiles, get to the left side of the screen and cyclone over them. If it's too tricky,
dragon boost through. In the phase, where he stands up, you want to push him a little bit back each
time he is not shooting at ya and then jump over rockets to the right.

Carol: Wildkick, wildkick, wildkick. If you have motorcycle, you can double jump over
missile attack, if you don't, i recommend you wildkick trough the fire.

Milla: Dodge his blaster shots by jumping and flying up - in between - phantom burst him in
the face. You don't need to worry about ion cannon. Rain blast - hide below him as with other
characters. If it comes to missiles - they can be countered with shield, but it's hard as hell -
don't even try - hide in the middle of the screen and slowly fly to the left - missiles will go
around you and won't hurt you. At some point - he will fire blaster and rain blast or missiles at
the same time. Tactics how to dodge it is depicted within video.
Sky Batalion

Lilac: Stand on platforms and slash around until you get rid of his eyes. Jump over plazma
ball. When he charges, you might want to step down and jump back up on platform to avoid it
properly - jumping over needs almost perfect timing. Try to dragonboost him when he finishes using
his ray attack. If you find yourself ond the edge of the ship when countering gust attack, you can
dragon boost a little bit through.

Carol: Wildkick can get rid of most of his eyes. And makes you invincible - remember that.
Don't use leap attack, it's useles here. When countering gust attack - you can leap through the
wind and move forward.

Milla: Phantom burst can take all of his eyes off and damage the boss at just one strike if
timed properly, if not, it's still damn worth trying. Plazma orb can be reflected with shield if
needed. Charge attacks are now easier to dodge as you can fly over them.
Jade Creek

Lilac: Following applies to panda boss for all characters: Watch the video and see how you
can damage her twice everytime she jumps without getting hit. The Serpentine as Lilac - don't get
too far from him, or he will launch a missile at you, that is hard to dodge, as it travels quite
fast. This time, you don't have to run from his rain blast attack, instead - position yourself next
to him and then jump over him and beat the crap out of him, as is demonstrated in video. It
requires precise timing, but it's easy to learn. The chopper boss as Lilac - cyclone is your best
bet here. If your timing sucks, get down on ground by pressing down and attack and jump quickly
again to dodge railing blasts. When missiles start to fly around, dragon boost away.

Carol: If you need to get some speed to avoid missiles, duck and press action - it makes you
leap and get some speed instantly. Troops drop gasoline, so from this point you can double jump
hurt the boss and get away from missiles with boost.

Milla: Reflect trooper's shots back at them. Note that the boss has lowered HP and also that
you can block Serpentine's rain blast with holding a phantom block above your head.
Thermal Base

Lilac Observe the pattern of the miniboss and deal with it. Look at the video. Lava jelly
also has pattern that can be exploited and attacks that can be easily dodged as is showed and
explained in the video. Safe spots for the most of the fight duration is on ladders - note that
ladders cannot be heated up with lava.

Carol Same as with Lilac

Milla Throw phantom blocks or only lightly shield burst it. Keep on ladders if possible and
don't go around too much.
Trap Hideout

Carol: Wait for him to dash your direction and leap through him while he's still in air. If
timed correctly, he will throw his cards away too late to hit you. Then he usually switches to
cannon, so just run away from him and as you hear him dash to your position again, leap through his
face - repeat. Beware of teleporting platforms, they can be really unhelpful here

Milla: Either throw phantom blocks on him as he is dashing to your position, or phantom
burst him as he lands and throws cards - this has to be timed perfectly - the burst will neglect
incoming projectiles (you can wait with shield form until you block cards and then burst it into
his face). Throwing phantom blocks at him when he is chasing you with cannon is also a good
strategy how to win this fight.
Pangu Lagoon

Lilac: Keep your boosters up, so you can attack him with projectiles instead of just slashing
him in melee range. Dodge ion cannon by dragon boosting upwards. Dodge claws by running in one
direction. Flames will seometimes reach you, so you want to keep your booster up and as they
appear, dragon boost in one direction. As you get closer to the wall, dragon boost in the opposite
direction. If you don't get a proper speed by dragonboosting, you will occasionally get hit by
flames. Don't forget to collect booster each time you waste it. Don't try to damage eggs by cyclone
or dragon boost - it's not worth the effort.
Battle Glacier

Lilac: You can double hit the Absolution by jump attack him, and as soon as you land
uppercut him again. If you won't make it to springs before charge, dragon boost through to avoid
getting hit. Now, to prince Dail - keep your distance. Count to three as he shoots homing green
things at you - after thrid round, he either uses ray attack or orb madness. It's good idea to
damage him with dragon bost before third round of shots. Dodge orb madness on the edge of the
screen and if needed - jump over it. If you have problems with crabs, time your damaging strike after he finishes this attack.

Carol: Dodge Absolution's charge attacks by wildkicking - saves time. Dail - You will be lucky enough during combat few times, that his third round of shots will come as he is nearing a wall - jump at him from this wall and wildkick through his face and projectiles - saves time. Wildkick through orbs if needed.

Milla: Fly over Absolution's charge attack. Dail - after third round, fly up there and shield burst him - saves time. Keep the ground clear - those crabs can be a pain in the... head. If there are orbs and crabs coming at you - mind that crabs won't stop and attack unless you are on the ground, so you jump and can trick them this way to bounce off the wall. Oh, orbs can be reflected with shield by the way.
Final Dreadnought I

Lilac: Learn the pattern - it changes with each bigger damage - one attack always adds to his collection. As Lilac you will be mostly cycloning him. Mind the saw - it first starts from the left down corner, giving you enough time to react on it and cycloning over it, but in later phases it starts from the right down corner, giving you no time to react, so keep that in mind.

Carol: Don't lose the motorcycle - it will make things harder. With it, you can double jump over saw, without it - you rely on wildkick, 'cause it's really hard to just simple jump over it.

Milla: Reflect train's projectiles with shield, fly over saw. When the boss enters the last phase, you can reflect purple orbs back at him and deal heavy damage, but mind the ion cannon in the back - when you land, you still have to finish shield burst animation before you can resume running away from it.
Final Dreadnought II

Lilac: Learn the pattern as described in video. As Lilac, you want to damage him with cyclone everytime after ground blast attack - you will damage him and also dodge incoming charge. When you know when his special attacks (flamethrower and star attack) start, you can use them against him - it's simple with flamethrower, you just keep close to him and then go behind him and attack the head. With star attack - you need a little bit more accurate timing to get behind - look at the video. On hard difficulty, the whole fight gets faster and you will want to evade more than attack.

Carol: Leap damage him as he charges onto your position. Other than that - wildkick him. Each time you are not able to dodge something, jump and wildkick - chances are, you will hit him and you definitelly won't get hurt.

Milla: Only shield burst him - make sure you jump and aim the burst downward - it does twice the damage for some reason - saves time. Reflect his star attack - you will find yourself doing most of the damage by this very reflection.
Final Dreadnought III

Lilac: Hide from waves on spots, from where you can melee damage her as she moves to other side to repeat the attack. On normal, you can dodge flying phase by staying in the corner and jump if needed. On hard however - you won't be able to dodge it this way, as she fires more projectiles and much higher. best way to dodge this is to keep close to her as she hovers up, wait for the right moment and just as she shoots - dragon boost in her head. If timed correctly, you will damage her face as you go up and after bouncing back from the ceiling, dodging 2 out of her 3 shots, and then you can dodge the third shot by jumping up on the edge of the screen, because she will fire it when being furthest from you. Note that her phantom burst attack can be dodged by running against her.

Carol: Dodge flying phase projectiles by climbing walls. If you are having troubles making it to next spot from where she will attack in time, jump and wildkick through the attack - you'll get there without getting hit. It's a good idea to slash her face each time you pass her, for example during phantom burst attack.
Final Dreadnought IV

Lilac:
  • It's crucial you learn pattern and how to dodge acid loaded missiles of Absolution - watch the video, it's hard to explain by words. Remember you can double hit it as Lilac with your afterland uppercut.

  • Mech suit is tricky to dodge. His blaster attack is probably easiest to dodge by running away from him, trying to switch direction after each salve. Note that fire columns that his shots leave behind are fire damaged, that can be countered with fire shield you can collect in the ascension phase of this level. After star explosion attack - he always hovers up to open up with blaster. You can dragon boost to his face very effectivelly at this point if you position yourself correctly and have good enough timing, as is shown in the video. Note that ducking sometimes helps doding star explosion. Bounce attack can be dodge only after you learn dimensions of the battlescreen and proper observing the warning sign on the edge of the screen. Note that there is a safe zone within his head when he starts this bouncing attack - that said - it might be worth to cyclone him after each charge.

  • Brevon - well, playing on normal - there is a pattern, that can be totally exploited many ways - see the video. As Lilac, use ground cyclone (get some speed, hold down and press action) every time he tries to grab you. He cannot currently grab you from the right side if you stay on the ground. As he lands from flying phase, make him land next to the wall and then make him jump to that wall and dragon boost towards him - that deals biggest damage you can hope to achieve here. On hard difficulty, he has no pattern, and you have to closely listen to his grab and stab attacks, each time you hear him shout, you try to jump avoid it and hit him as you are landing. Other than that, you just run back and forth and listen until you hear his flying phase begun. Than position yourself near the wall and - you know what to do next.

Carol:
  • Absolution - no change there.

  • Mech suit - get some speed before dodging blaster attack by ducking and pressing jump. If you screw up during bounce attack, wildkick your way out of it. Be patient and careful.

  • Brevon - you don't have dragon boost, so your best bet is to wait as he is landing from flying phase and then wildkick his face. It takes time, but it works. On hard, everytime you dodge grab or stab attack, leap back at his face - it deals a little bit more damage then classic attack.

Milla:
  • Absolution's blasts can be reflected, but then you won't be really damaging him much, right?

  • Mech suit - place a phantom block at the top of your head and run back and forth as he blasts you from above - you will reflect most shots directly to his face. Beware of bouncing attack, that's the biggest threat here.
