Boss Strategy: Drum 'n' Stinger

Use Fire Pins Against the Drum 'n' Stinger

The Drum 'n' Stinger is the first boss that you will encounter in the game, so expect the battle to go easy on you. However, if you want to make the fight fast and clean, it's recommended to equip the Firestorm pin, as the boss is weak against Fire affinity.
