How to Use Crystalian

Can Tank Well

Due to its hard exterior, the Crystalian can tank hits pretty well until they take enough damage to be staggered and lose their protective shell.

It's mostly recommended to tank hits from groups of enemies in the overworld, and certain bosses that are human and about the size of the player such as the Mimic Tear and Esgar. This is because these bosses will seldom have Strike damage, which the Crystalian is weak to.

Using the Crystalian against Malenia, however, is discouraged, since she will most likely just heal from it.

Not Recommended Against Large Bosses

Due to the amount of damage that large bosses tend to dish out, the Crystalian may not be able to tank their hits as well.

Unfortunately this means that a large amount of the major bosses will be able to take out the Crystalian, as a few hits will be able to break the exterior.

Not Recommended For Large Arenas

Another weakness of the Crystalian is the rather poor tracking ability of is attacks.

That means it has a tendency to miss more often, so it's not recommended to use it against bosses with large arenas, since this increases the likelihood that the Crystalian won't be able to deal damage.
