The Light that Failed Tips and Strategy

Use Hero Skills

Use your Hero skills if you are having difficulties in battle since these can wipe out enemies easily. Take note that these skills have cooldowns so you'll have to wait for a few seconds before you can use them again.

Watch Out for Offscreen Attacks

Always look out for icons with exclamation points during combat. These indicate offscreen attacks so immediately dodge if you see one.

The Light that Failed Enemies

Enemy	Strategy
Reaper	Basic enemy that can be easily dealt with by combos.
Aero Reaper	Use ranged attacks to take them out.
Assault Reaper	Close the gap between you and the enemy and land in combos. Dodge when they counter.
Aegis Reaper	Use charged attacks to break their shields or vault over their back to attack their weak spot.
Taskmaster	Alternate between close range when he uses ranged and ranged when he closes in on you. When given the chance to grapple, use it to deal quick damage.
