How To Beat Herensuge?

Strategy Points
1Only lock on when the enemy is Staggered
2When you see its attacking motion, press R1 to dodge.
3Once it does Dragon Dance, only focus on dodging the attacks.

Do Not Lock In When Enemy Is Not Down

Herensuge

Herensuge's weakpoint is located on its head. This location is high up making it difficult to move. If you lock on, you will be forced to jump attack making your hits miss a lot. It is better to only lock in when the opponent is staggered.

Once It Bends Prepare To Dodge

When Herensuge is about to do a melee attack, it will start to move back and bend. Dodging just when it is about to swing back to dodge. After it starts flying, the flame strike attack can be dodge by moving to the side while dodging.
