Jumping Claw Slice (2)

Learn the best strategies and weapon choices to counter the Jumping Claw Slice (2) attack from Farfarello in Resident Evil: Revelations. Get the upper hand!

Alright, let's talk about the Jumping Claw Slice (2) attack from the Farfarello. This is one of its main offensive moves, and knowing how to handle it can make a big difference.

The Attack: Basically, the Farfarello leaps forward and slashes with its right arm. It's a mid-range attack, so you'll see it coming if you're keeping your distance.

Dodge Timing: The key here is to dodge right before the Farfarello lands from its jump. It's a bit of a tricky timing, but once you get it down, you'll be able to avoid this hit consistently.

Consequence: If you get hit by this, it'll knock you down, leaving you vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Definitely something you want to avoid!

Recommended Weapons & Strategy:

• Shotgun: Just like with the standard Hunters, getting up close and personal with the shotgun is effective. Farfarellos often appear a few seconds before they attack, so if you don't see them right away, stand your ground and wait for them. When they pop out, blast 'em!
• Rifle/Magnum/Machine Gun/Handgun: If you prefer to keep your distance, these long-range weapons work great. From afar, Farfarellos aren't as aggressive and tend to just walk towards you. Once you spot them, unload with your long-range weapon.

A Note on Fenrirs: The text also mentions Fenrirs, which are wolf-like enemies. They attack similarly to wolves in other RE games, often in packs, and perform a jumping bite. When facing them, try to spread your fire to manage the group. Shooting them while they run can knock them down, making them easier targets. A handgun is fine from a distance, but switch to something heavier like a shotgun or machine gun if they get close. B.O.W. Decoys are also super helpful against packs of Fenrirs.
