How to Beat Night's Cavalry




Recommended Level for Night's Cavalry

Recommended Level Level 6

We recommend fighting Night's Cavalry at level 6 for a standard difficulty experience. If you wish for a greater challenge, you may fight this boss at lower levels.

Separate the Boss

The Night's Cavalry is a dual boss between two rides, one wielding an axe and another wielding a glaive.

It's a good idea to separate the boss so that they don't mob and harass the same player. Ranged attackers should focus on drawing aggro the rider with the glaive, while defensive characters such as the Raider or Guardian should take on the axe-wielding rider.

Dismount the Rider

Attacking the horse will eventually kill it which will dismount the Night's Cavalry riding it. The boss is easier to fight when dismounted as it has reduced mobility and you can easily interrupt its combos.

Use this opportunity to deal as much damage as possible, such as using your Ultimate Arts. The boss will eventually summon the horse again but it takes a while to do.

Dodge to the Left to Avoid Attacks

The Night's Cavalry attacks tend to swing towards your right side, which means you can easily dodge their attacks by simply sidestepping or dodging to the left.

It's quick charge attack, in particular, which is normally difficult to dodge, can easily be avoided by simply circling towards the left when locked on the boss.

Keep Your Distance

The Night's Cavalry has very predictable moves that are easy to avoid due to their long wind-up. The only risk when fighting these bosses is if they manage to target the same character.

If playing as a ranged character, you'll want to keep your distance but keep attacking the boss so that you can grab its attention. That way, your melee teammates can safely attack the boss up close.
