Air and Lightning Tips and Strategies

Guard Against Enemy Fire

Your main objective while piloting Vah Medoh is to destroy all outposts in the map within the time limit. Although the outposts are the top priority, don't forget to guard against enemy attacks especially when Windblight Ganon appears.

Defend from projectiles by holding the L button and shoot down the attacking enemies before returning to the outposts.

How to Beat Thunderblight Ganon

Perfect Dodge the Spin Attacks

After a series of dashes, Thunderblight Ganon will either shoot electric orbs at you or perform multiple spin attacks. Thunderblight will attack from a distance either way but when he performs a spin attack, aim for a perfect dodge and flurry rush the malice out of it.

Follow Rune Prompts

As always, follow the rune prompts to interrupt Thunderblight Ganon's strongest attacks and take away portions of its weak-point gauge.

Dealing With Duplicates

When Thunderblight creates duplicates of itself, focus on dodging while spamming Remote Bombs. You'll have a long iframe while using this rune and it can also damage all three Thunderblights each use.

How to Beat Windblight Ganon

Flanking

If Windblight Ganon is far from your reach, avoid charging straight to it and run sidewards to avoid its long-ranged attacks. Wait until it stops attacking and expose its weak-point gauge before dashing in.

Stay Close to It

Most of Windblight's attacks are long-ranged but if you're close enough, you can perfect dodge them and perform Flurry Rushes.

Back Away from the Bullet Rain

Look out for a large white marker on the ground while fighting Windblight Ganon and back away from it. This attack covers a large area around Windblight so run outside the circle as soon as it appears.

Follow Rune Prompts

Of course, remember to use the rune that corresponds the rune prompt to interrupt some of its attacks and avoid getting wrecked.
