How to Pressure Bladefin

Block with Punisher Mode

How to Pressure Bladefin
Inflicting enough damage after it emerges from the sand will pressure it.

Bladefins are always swimming under the sand so it will be hard to hit them. However, using block with Punisher Mode will automatically pressure them once they start attacking you.

Use this opportunity to attack them while they are pressured to stagger them.

How to Pressure and Stagger Enemies

Choose Dynamic Difficulty if Your Level is Way Higher than the Fiend Intel

If you are trying to pressure the enemy and your level is way too high, there is a chance that you'll defeat the enemy even before pressuring them. To solve this, switch to Dynamic difficulty as the enemies' level will scale with you, providing a challenge and an opportunity to complete the Fiend Intel's mission

Dynamic Difficulty and Difficulty Settings

Retry if You Fail an Objective

If you fail an objective such as pressuring the enemy, you can always retry the Fiend Intel by holding the Triangle button.
