How To Use Feat And Abilities

Feat	How To Use
Titanic Block	[Feat] Can be used to block enemy attack. When a guard is timed perfectly, □ button can be used to launch up to three counterattack.
Raging Fists	The number of attacks increases by repeatedly pressing the button. There is a guard performance upon activation, and the performance is significantly improved when executing a successful Just Guard. It is primarily used for countering, but it can also be used during 100% Staggered.
Upheaval	Although it is a wide-range attack, it cannot be used frequently due to the time required for charging. Maximizing the charge and unleashing the attack when the enemy approaches can deal a lot of damage. Thanks to its high firepower, it remains effective even against individual targets.
Windup	Charging is required, but it allows for an extremely powerful attack. It works great for dealing high damage to bosses, and even when used without charging, it still deals decent damage, making it a good choice for regular battles.
Earthen Fury	It has a wide range and high power, but the cooldown time is extremely long. In boss battles, it's considered good if you can use it twice, so it's recommended to use it as an opening move or as a finishing move.

Iron Giant Boss Walkthrough & Tips

Alternate Between Using Evade And Counter Abilities

Use Evade for long-range attacks or explosive attacks, while use Counter for close-range attacks with swords. By alternating between Evade and Counter in this way, battles will be shorter and much easier to handle.

Use Earthen Fury During 100% Staggered

Earthen Fury has a long cooldown and can only be used once. Therefore, it is recommended to use it when the boss gets 100% Staggered, where it can deal the most damage.
