How to defeat the first sinner
The first sinner is one of those struggles you are absolutely should not walk without preparation. Even if you are likely to come across it, you will almost always have to Go once on a bench to tune your lineup for something more suitable.
In terms of preparation, there is one that is highly recommended regardless of the assembly you run: ensure that you have at least +1 needle. Ideally you should have upgraded the needle to the HIVESTEEL blade By completing:
-
Pinmaster's oil
-
Great taste of Pharloom
Plus, any comb you use primarily to fight the boss All tool slots unlocked With memory medals. No less than it would prepare for a much more painful experience than necessary.
There will be There should not be many opportunities to heal. The first sinner is highly aggressive, which means your The treatments are usually limited to two cases:
-
During the stunning
-
While high in the air during the attack
However, this will change if you carry Beast or witch ridges. We strongly recommend having one of two (preferably the one with whom you are most comfortable) because they will recover and at the same time face high aggression of the first sinner.
For us we used a ridge with a witch with Injection zone For faster animation and Claw mirror For other ticks of damage when using tight neighborhoods. This combination can even allow an emergency recovery that can treat three ticks of damage at the same time when you take two of the attack and count one positive mask.
For attacks Fortunately, the first sinner is straightforward. There is nothing about her attacks, just that they are very fast and have very little among each. In fact, as you proceed in the fight, Many of her attacks begin to overlap (especially her silk).
The best way to intervene is Keep in mind that you are giant and to Stay toward the center from the arena. This minimizes the amount of random walks to Silkspears or Weaver teleports.
Although Weaver will be hit several times during the fight, the thing that suggests is its second phase and Fake-out victory. It behaves as if you were defeating it, moving to its second phase when it reappears on stage.
This second phase will contain even faster chains and Rune Rage.
The Most likely reasons to cause damage are from her Crazy strikes and its teleports During Silkspear. Minimize damage Taken from one of them:
-
If you are silent, make your priority move towards her last known position, rather than away when they disappear.
-
Sprinkle quickly during frantic strokes. If you can't, you can try at least one of her attacks to minimize damage.
Otherwise the best advice for this fight is Take the time and be patient with her attacks. You are a hornet; sting as one.
When the best of the first sinner (and you will), you get the right to Accept the strength of Weaver. Inside weaving memories you will have to navigate a small platform that requires the use of faydown sheaths reach the end.
At the end of a dream you will be Leave the prison of the first sinner (and album) SA New ancestors' strength: Rune Rage. This power she used on you during your fight can now be turned on to your enemies and weavers.
