Set up - Quicksilver
with Spiral + Beowulf
Nevan is surprisingly one of the easier bosses
to "No Damage" and attain a good
boost to your style meter. Here's what
you do.
At the start of the battle, stroll
up to her, trigger her Spin attack by walking
directly in front of her. When she does her Spin, do a small backflip
back and immediately charge a Straight.
She will spin 4 times before dropping her
arms. THE MOMENT her arms touch her hips, release
Straight.
What will happen is that Straight will
break her barrier in a single strike, then fire Spiral
to knock her onto the floor and do backflip
cancelling to inflict maximum damage. (don't
DTE or QS at this point). She will now teleport
over to the other side of the room. Trigger her spin
attack again but this time, DTE (this will also break
her barrier, though it must be maximum) and perform
any random combo on her (don't K Bee cancel,
you'd want to do normal damage). After that, she'll
teleport again over to the other side. Repeat the Straight, Spiral and backflip strategy.
(Watch your DT fill up, it's fun)
Now, Nevan will go into her second phase,
which you'd want to end as quickly as
possible. Stay by the steps and wait for
her Electric Floor attack. As long as you
are on the steps, you won't get hurt (she sometimes does it twice).
Stay by the stairs since she has a habit of
teleporting there again and you DON'T
want that. Wait for her to start her Electric
Pillar attack, dodge the first 1 or 2 waves (sometimes
she does the Light Pillar attack
that emerges from beneath Dante, and this makes things
easier) and then stroll up to her and DTE, followed
by Back flip Cancelling again.
She'll now be back to her first phase,
so stroll to the top of the steps and trigger
her Spin. Straight and Back flip Cancel
as usual, and do the same DTE thing on the other
side of the room. FINALLY, when running
back to the top of the steps, trigger Nevan's Spin,
(should be significantly longer now) Straight, Spiral AND quickly activate
QS and Back flip cancel like an absolute nut-case.
If you feel you won't kill her with it, don't do it. Just stick to the
DTE + Straight strategy. Quicksilver is
really just to end this battle faster and give you added safety with Quick Cancel.
This concludes mission 9.
Note: When triggering
Nevan's Spin attack, you always have time to taunt
before she starts. The extra DT always
comes in handy.
