Stun It With Circuit Box
A circuit box is placed in the map and can be triggered to stun nemesis. It recharges after a while to be used again. Don't trigger it too close or you'll be affected as well.
Maintain Distance From Flame thrower
The flamethrower has a decent range & wide attack that is easy to dodge from afar. Maintain distance and you'll do fine against it.
Avoid the Flame Barrage
Nemesis will barrage the area with flame barrage after a while. This attack restrict movements and deal heavy damage with the lingering flame on the floor, so stay nimble and focus on not taking damage instead of attacking.
New Attack Patterns After Canister Explosion
Nemesis will swap to melee and charge tactics after its canister was destroyed. Kite him around the terrain and use dodge to avoid its charge attacks.
