Checkmark Evade Ranged Electric Shock Attacks
Checkmark Keep Shooting Sylux

Dash or Strafe to Dodge Melee Attack

Sylux has a fast melee attack that can catch you off-guard. After it raises its arm cannon, dash or strafe to evade its incoming slash. Sylux will also perform a follow-up attack by releasing homing projectiles. Dash away to evade them.

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 its shield. To combat this, use Morph Ball to bait Sylux to the wall, then plant Morph Bombs to stun it.

You will need to detonate a few bombs before Sylux is temporarily stunned and reverts to its 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 it is to simply keep shooting it. Between firing shots, take care to dodge out of the way whenever Sylux performs any of its melee or ranged attacks.
