OK first off, start charging Trans-Flux. For the first wave, give them all a nice Jam Session by running just in front of the closest Pride (and I actually mean so he is targeted & all others are behind him), then hit him with Tune Up and proceed to Jam session. That’ll knock most of their health to the minimum and spread them out. From there, just kill them in whichever way you choose.

For the next wave, do a Jam session to the first Lust that appears, then in mid session DTE and continue charging it up again. That’ll clear one of the more awkward parts of this battle. After that you should only have 2 other Lusts and a few Prides to take care of, which Spiral or K Ann will greatly aid.

Once they are taken care of, 2 Wraths will appear. If you have E & I + RG, I would suggest you use them to charge up a few rage bars. Those will help take care of the Sloths that are coming up. After they are destroyed, get to the furthest end of the screen (near the entrants of mission 3) and wait for the next Wrath to appear, then destroy him ASAP. Now run towards the crowd of Prides and Sloths & DTE. You should now have A LOT of DT’d but weakened Sloths and a few Prides that will appear. Take out the Prides, then work on the Sloths (single enemies out with K Ann and Free Ride if you have to).

Suggested Style - OK, if you have played with RG, you should be able to parry at least one of his dash attacks (remember, air parry is A LOT easier). For releases, you should do it either during his second attack of his double swipe move, his counter swipe (after a Parry) or his Forward Dash. All other releases will miss and be wasted.

I shouldn’t have to say but charge your Trans-Flux, jump parry any attacks you feel comfortable parrying (remember only GOLD parries will be allowed for SS Ranking DMD) and release at the attack you're most confident against (he’ll use Dash more often than any attack). He ALWAYS does his dash attack 3 times in a row before stopping to twirl his scythe. That’ll be your time to rip away at him with Beowulf. RG will kill him quickest and safest (if you are good with the parries) and with a very good Style rank.

For other styles, to evade the dash attack, you can either run from one end of the screen to the other or keep running if he does an upward Dash. Jump & Air Hike if he does his Foward Dash. After he does all 3 dashes, attack him till he parries and evade the counter, preferably with a small jump. Continue attacking until he disappears and if you feel confident, then K Bee rebound him - it does excellent damage. This concludes Mission 2.
