Boss Encounter: Honda Tadakatsu
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Honda is a spear user with access to advanced spear techniques like Piercing Rain and Windmill.
- He is strong in High and Medium Stance but less effective in Low Stance.
- He can use a "Shinka Heal" move that grants a powerful Regen effect.
Strategy:
- At the start, buff yourself and shoot Honda in the face with a Rifle or Cannon for a good opening.
- Always be ready to dodge to the right to avoid his spear thrusts and special attacks.
- Dodge his "Spear Dash" attack by waiting for the spear to shine and then dashing or rolling to the right.
- Crucially, interrupt his "Shinka Heal" move. When he stops and touches his chest, you MUST attack him immediately to prevent him from healing significantly.
- Stay near Honda to make interrupting his heal easier.
