Dash or Strafe to Dodge Melee Attack
Sylux has a fast melee attack that can catch you off-guard. After he raises his arm cannon, dash to evade the incoming slash. Sylux will also perform a follow-up attack by releasing homing projectiles. Dash away to evade them.
You can dash by locking on to your target and pressing B twice while moving in your desired direction.
Bait to the Wall and Plant Morph Bombs
Sylux performs a spinning tornado attack that pursues you around the arena. In this state, you cannot shoot Sylux as the shots will bounce off his shield. To combat this, use Morph Ball to bait Sylux to the wall, then plant Morph Bombs to stun him. Press A or ZR to plant bombs.
You will need to detonate a few bombs before Sylux is temporarily stunned and reverts to his normal state.
Evade Ranged Electric Shock Attacks
| Triple Volley |
|---|
| Sylux flies overhead and shoots a triple volley of electric shock projectiles raining down the arena. Simply stay out of the way to avoid being hit. |
| Ground Slam |
| Sylux flies overhead and performs a ground slam, creating an electric shockwave that pulsates throughout the arena. Jump over the shockwave to dodge it. |
| Electric Beam |
| Sylux fires an electric beam in a semi-circular motion, hitting you if you are caught in its trajectory. Use Morph Ball to duck under the beam. |
Keep Shooting Sylux
Because Sylux has no weak points, the most straightforward way of beating him is to simply keep shooting him. Between firing shots, take care to dodge out of the way whenever Sylux performs any of his melee or ranged attacks.
