Hunter

Hunter is first encountered as the level boss of Mission 1. This fight approaches vary depending on the category and the game's version.

Changes to the original game


Strategy

Original game trivializes this with Overdrive II thanks to Samurai DLC access. Definitive Edition however, has to follow certain procedures to kill him in one knock down
  • The one knock down cycle does not work in the original game's Any% because the style meter does not last long in the older patch. This means you will have to deal with the extra cutscene where he jumps to a tower in the background.
  • Definitve Edition has to build S rank before spamming Hacker during the knock down:
    • This fight requires Lv2 Hacker
    • Shoot while approaching him at the same time.
    • Aerial Rave → Helm Breaker when he is about to swipe the knife. Then hit him in the air once or twice to stun.
    • Death Coil then Aerial Rave → Helm Breaker again for the knock down.
    • Spam Hacker from his left to hit his hand and face at the same time.
    • Aerial Rave → Helm Breaker when he wakes up. Shoot E&I if he has pixel HP left.
