Vagary Champion Combat Tips

Keep Your Distance and Parry to Build Up Stun

Vagary Champion Tip

The Vagary Champion has quick melee attacks and a slowing projectile that can easily hit you on close and mid ranges. It's best to keep your distance and parry the green projectiles to build up the stun meter for an opening.

Attack the Exposed Legs and Abdomen When Stunned

Vagary Champion Weakness

Upon filling the Stun Meter, go behind the Vagary Champion to attack its exposed abdomen and legs. The Pulverizer can be an effective weapon here as all of the bullets can hit simultaneously for massive damage.
