How to Beat Chirada

Step-by-Step Guide
Basic Attacks are Easy to Evade Keep an Eye Out for the Green Aura Utilize the Swift Recovery Ability

Basic Attacks are Easy to Evade

Chirada's moveset consist of basic slashes in different directions (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal). You can easily follow her attack patterns as she'll be doing a short but relatively quick charging animation before swiping her claws at you.

By perfectly executing a well-timed Dodge just as she unleashes her attack, you'll be able to open an opportuntity for a counter attack.

Evade Her Dashes at All Costs

Her only deadly ability that you'll have to anticipate are her dashes! Make sure to dodge on time as these are swift and can knock you up in the air leaving you vulnerable as you'll need time to recover from them.

Keep an Eye Out for the Green Aura

Be on the lookout for the Green Aura emerging from her body or on the ground, this means that she'll be casting out one of her spells in the designated area of the aura.

Move Sideways During Her Directional Attack

As soon as you see a green straight line on the floor, she'll be casting out a fireball-like attack towards that direction, you don't really need to use dodge as you can simply move sideways since this ability takes time to charge up. But if you catch yourself lacking the time to manuever out of the area, quickly hit that dodge button!

Step Away From Her AoE Attack

Green flames will often spawn around her, these will explode after a short amount of time so once you see this, make sure you step away from it otherwise you'll lose a hefty amount of HP.

Utilize the Swift Recovery Ability

If you ever fall victim to her dash attack and get knocked up in the air, you can quickly regain your footing by using Swift Recovery (R1 Button). This ability could also be used to recover from her other attacks if you miss a dodge and carelessly fall prey to her deadly moves.
