Heavy Is The Head: How to Beat Leofrith?

  • Leofrith has quick and long-reaching attack combinations. Pay attention to his telegraphs to effectively counter his moves.
  • Leofrith often feigns his attacks. Anticipate this throughout the fight.
  • Leofrith occasionally enters a Parry stance once he flashes blue. Do not strike him during this stance.
  • Leofrith occasionally attempts to block with his left arm's bracer. Strike him with a heavy attack during this stance to knock him off-balance.
