Tips and Strategies

Attack at Ranged

Often times, this stage will have you at a height or distance advantage, allowing you to safely attack your opponents at range. By this virtue, Catti-Brie will certainly be more suited in this stage. For close-ranged users, simply avoid getting swarmed as often times large group of enemies tend to attack at the same time.

Boss Strategy: Fenji Coldeye

Defeat Fenji Coldeye

Dark Alliance Crystal Harvest 07
The thing about giants - they really are super slow. So, do what you need to do with any giants you have faced so far. Attack, dodge when they are about to attack, then resume your offense.
