Walkthrough

1
Phase 1: Ludvig fights as a conventional swordsman. His attacks are telegraphed but punishing. Learn his combo strings and find safe openings to attack. Play conservatively and preserve healing resources.
2
Phase 2 (Awakened Ludvig): Triggered below 50% HP. Ludvig channels devastating lightning attacks, electrifies his blade, creates chain-lightning arcs, and summons thunderbolts. His speed and aggression increase dramatically.
3
Phase 2 Strategy: Avoid electrified ground patches. Roll through his lightning-charged lunges as blocking is ineffective due to electrical damage. Capitalize on the brief recovery period after his large area-of-effect lightning slam.
