BOSS ENCOUNTER: WHITE TIGER

The White Tiger is a boss in Nioh 3 with a different move set and faster speed than the Nue. Despite its appearance, it is considered one of the easier bosses, especially compared to Yuki. The key strategy is to attack its sides, particularly when it uses its "Eye Laser" move, which can be dashed through similarly to the Nue's "Lightning Breath" move. Maintain healing and use buffs like Talismans, Status Effects, or Onmyo Magic. Unleash your Living Weapon (a powerful temporary state) when the boss reaches about 25% health to finish it off.

White Tiger Moves:

  • Claw Swipe(s): Basic melee attacks where the White Tiger swipes its claws forward. It can perform single or multiple chained swipes. Evade to the side to attack its flanks.
  • Eye Laser: The boss shoots a long-range eye laser that sweeps across the area. This attack can be dashed through with good timing, allowing you to attack its sides.
  • Body Twist: A defensive move where the White Tiger twists its body 360 degrees to damage anything too close. Avoid being overly greedy, or use a quick guard and dodge.
  • Explosive Kunai: The White Tiger jumps, twirls, and launches a spread of explosive kunai. These deal minor damage and can be guarded against or avoided by moving.
Tips
  • Attack the White Tiger's sides, especially during its "Eye Laser" move.
  • Dash through the "Eye Laser" to create attack opportunities.
  • Stay healed and use buffs to manage the fight.
  • Don't be too greedy with attacks to avoid the "Body Twist" move.
  • Use your Living Weapon when the boss is at 25% health.
