Set up - Swordmaster with E&I and Rebellion + Nevan
This is one hell of an easy boss. The only thing to be careful of his 3-hit combo. Sometimes when you expect a Beast Uppercut he comes out with a Basic 3 hit and you generally forget to Air Hike or Hover.
OK, from the get go run to the left unopened light and Air Hike the first Volcano he does. Then use Prop Shredder to break the light. If he is getting too close for comfort, evade. Patience is a virtue. Now when it is broken he’ll either get hit by it (which I implore you try to get every time) to which you should do a basic Rebellion combo followed by a taunt as he jumps back or he’ll jump back. Either way, once he prepares a Zodiac, get JUST to the edge of the light the window creates (for positioning) and use the first hit of Prop Shredder to deflect the first deflection. Then so long as you extend it you’ll knock back every remaining deflection. He increases the number of deflects as his health decreases so you generally can only get 1 deflection per light break.
Once the windows close and if you have time, break open the closest window if you can by using Prop Shredder or jump to evade then Helm Breaker followed by Rebellion’s basic combo. (Get him trapped) Taunt him as he staggers and roll to the next window, then Prop Shred it right away and he should get caught, then do a basic 3 hit combo followed by a taunt. After that he should repeat the deflection procedure. Repeat this strategy until he has just under half his health.
For the speed kill, you should have full DTE. Incite him to do a Beast uppercut and when he does, jump and activate Air Raid. Now once you see him prepare to do Zodiac, perform Vortex. DO NOT WAIT for the ball to be released. (Try and hug the wall as much as possible and ALWAYS target him) After that. get back to the wall as fast as possible but once again if he prepares a Zodiac, perform Vortex again. Doing this with full DTE will take out half of his health. If you find this hard to do. just do the Prop Shredder strategy throughout.
