How to Use Black Knife Tiche

A Mobile and Aggressive Spirit Ash

Black Knife Tiche pairs her extreme mobility with aggressive attacks with her signature Black Knife. Even against fast bosses such as Malenia, Tiche can deftly evade her attacks and debuff her with her Black Knife's special skill.

Use the Cerulean Hidden Tear to Bypass FP Cost

Black Knife Tiche has a hefty 132 FP Cost, which is often out of reach unless running a dedicated sorcery or incantation build. You can bypass this by drinking a Wonderous Physick mixed with the Cerulean Hidden Tear.

This physick tear eliminates FP cost for 15 seconds, which is just enough time for you to summon Black Knife Tiche.

Best Used Against High HP Bosses

Black Knife Tiche's most powerful attack is her Blade of Death skill which she'll fire from her Black Knife. Bosses hit by this skill will have their maximum HP reduced for 15 seconds and will also deal additional percentage-based residual damage.

The HP reduction helps bring bosses closer to killing range for 15 seconds and is very useful if you have a weapon that can deal a lot of damage. The percentage-based debuff is also very effective against bosses with high HP pools such as the Fire Giant, Dragonlord Placidusax, Radagon of the Golden Order, and the Elden Beast.

The Beast Spirit Ash Summon for New Game+

Black Knife Tiche is the best Spirit Ash to use in New Game Plus and beyond due to enemies and bosses receiving a considerable HP boost. The debuff she deals with her special attack deals percentage-based damage, which will deal a lot of damage against these buffed bosses.

New Game Plus Guide

Best Used Against Solo Bosses

While Tiche is a formidable Spirit Ash, she struggles against duo bosses or bosses that are accompanied by multiple enemies such as the Erdtree Burial Watchdog in Impaler's Catacombs.

Her aggressive nature means she will instantly focus on who is attacking her, which means she may instead attack the accompanying enemies instead of the actual boss. Tiche is also relatively frail even when fully upgraded and will easily get overwhelmed by mobs of enemies that can deal a lot of damage.
