Calibur Strategy and Countermeasures

Counter magic with Mute

Calibur possesses powerful magic for each part. As a countermeasure, it's recommended to use Peach's Mute to inflict Silence on all parts and seal their magic.

Mute becomes an AoE attack with successful action command

If the action command for Mute is successful, it targets all enemies. It's an action that requires rotating the left stick, so be prepared before using it.

Reapply Silence immediately if it wears off

If the Silence status inflicted on Calibur wears off, it's troublesome if it uses magic, so reapply it immediately.

Defeat the Left Eye to remove the barrier

Calibur's main body cannot be damaged unless one of its eyes is destroyed. Therefore, focus attacks on the Left Eye, which has lower HP, to remove the main body's barrier.

Eyes are weak to Jump

Calibur's eyes are weak to Jump. Mario should use Jump attacks to damage the eyes.

Defeating the main body ends the fight

If you can defeat Calibur's main body, the battle will end at that point and you will clear it. Therefore, once the barrier is removed, ignore the other parts and focus attacks on the main body to defeat it.

Geno Cutter is effective against the main body

Geno Cutter is effective against Calibur's main body. A successful action command can deal 9999 damage. Although it's somewhat of a hidden trick, if you want to defeat it quickly, use Geno Cutter after defeating one eye and removing the barrier.

Recommended Party and Equipment

Flavor Text

Calibur

1. 

   As long as my lower eye is dark,
   I'm invincible!!

   It was created in imitation of the legendary sword Excalibur,
   but since swords don't originally exist in Mario's world,
   Mario probably wouldn't know such a legend.

Right Eye

1. 

   My vision is 0.3.
   And I have astigmatism, too.

   Just as hands have a dominant hand, eyes have a dominant eye.
   Since this Right Eye has more HP than the Left Eye,
   it seems Calibur's dominant eye is the right one.

Left Eye

1. 

   My vision is 0.7.
   Inspections are by intuition.

   The author's vision is 0.1 with astigmatism, and on top of that,
   presbyopia has been advancing recently, so writing this manuscript
   is quite a struggle.

Mouth

1. 

   Weak, you're too weak!

   When you eat something delicious, they say "the flavor spreads in your mouth,"
   but what spreads in Calibur's mouth is a subspace
   connected to the weapon world.
