Dmitrii

Attacks:

  • Soul Mimicry: Copies your currently equipped Bullet Soul and uses it against you.
  • Physical Slash: A quick, short-range sword slash.
  • Teleport: Disappears and reappears elsewhere in the arena.

Weakness:

  • None specific.

Recommended Setup:

  • Weapon: Strongest sword or greatsword (e.g., Claymore, Katana).
  • Bullet Soul: A powerful but easily dodged soul like Great Armor Soul, or a low-cost soul you can spam.
  • Guardian Soul: Gorgon Soul (if you can petrify him) or Buer Soul (for extra damage).
  • Enchant Soul: Warg Soul (+STR) or Minotaur Soul (+STR).

Strategy:

Dmitrii's primary threat is his ability to mimic your Bullet Souls. If you equip a powerful Bullet Soul, be prepared to dodge its mirrored version. His physical attacks are fast but have limited range. Stay aggressive, but always be ready to backdash or jump away when he prepares a soul attack. He teleports frequently, so be ready to re-engage. After taking enough damage, he will be defeated, but you will not gain a soul from him. This fight is more about adapting to his mirrored attacks than exploiting a weakness.
