Countermeasures against Tzitzi-Ya-Ku

Recommended Weapon Element and Armor Skills

Recommended Weapon Element
Thunder Weapon Tzitzi-Ya-Ku is weakest against thunder...
Ice Weapon ...and ice! Bring whichever weapon's stronger for you.
Recommended Armor Skills
Stun Resistance Stun Resistance at Lvl 3 will make Tzitzi-Ya-Ku a walk in the park, since his flash will be made completely useless.
Evade Window You can also use the invincibility frames of your roll to completely negate the stun from his flash! Evade Window will make this easier.
Partbreaker If you want to concentrate on breaking his head instead to make his flash weaker, investing in Partbreaker might be helpful.

How to Beat Tzitzi-Ya-Ku

Sudden Flash

Tzitzi-Ya-Ku can emit a flash of light from his head to the direction he is facing. He will be defenseless during this attack but it can stun you if you are within its range and you are looking at him directly. Avoid this by facing away and moving to the sides to get an opening for your attacks.

Weakening the Flash

You can shorten the range of the flash by breaking his head, this way you will only have to take one step back to get out of its range instead of moving to the sides giving you more time to strike. Also, the head is the weakest part of Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, you should focus on attacking this part to maximize your damage output.

Tail Attack Follow-up

TziTzi-Ya-Ku will sometimes perform a jump attack at your position after using his tail attack. It is recommended that you keep moving after his tail attack to avoid any followups and only engage once you are sure that there is an opening.
