How to Beat Clawstrider

Look for Canisters

Each Clawstrider variant will have a different canister on its back. These are weak spots that you can exploit to deal decent amount of damage. Use the right arrow type to trigger a chain reaction and use the Clawstriders advantage against it. These machines are extremely agile so it would always be a good strategy to stun then before doing heavy damage.
