Parrying Can Make The Fight Easier
The Black Knife Assassin can be easily defeated by using deadly attacks and parrying. It is recommended to aim for a parry when he prepares for a thrusting attack since his movement is predictable
How To Avoid Attacks
| ① | Dashing Slash→Thrust (Parry when he does the thrusting attack) |
|---|---|
| ② | Avoid or parry his spinning slash the moment his weapon leaves the ground. |
| ③ | Avoid charging attacks by rolling. |
Dashing Slash → Thrust Then Parry
When the Black Knife Assassin moves out of range, he is likely to perform a thrusting attack. His movement is straightforward and predictable, giving you the chance to parry. The strategy is to guard against the dashing attack and then parry his thrusting attack..
Avoid Or Parry The Spinning Slash As His Weapon Leaves The Ground
Spinning attacks, where he scratches his weapon on the ground, should be avoided or parried at the moment his weapon leaves the ground. Since the timing can be quite hard to get, you can roll away to keep your distance.
Avoid Charging Attacks By Rolling
Compared to other attacks, his charging attack can deplete a lot of your stamina when guarded. It is better to avoid it by rolling since it also does much more damage.
