Houseleon (Boss) Attacks and Abilities

Camouflage

For most of the battle, the Houseleon is camouflaged, making you unable to lock on to it. The Houseleon can only be locked on to when it reveals itself in order to attack.

Laser & Tongue Grab

Laser eyes

Tongue grab

The Houseleon attacks by locking on to your team and firing two thin laser beams directly at you. If you're hit by the laser, the Houseleon follows it up with a tongue grab that brings you directly to it.

Electricity Shockwave

Getting too close to the Houseleon triggers its electricity shockwave defense mechanism, which damages and knocks out the player

Best Pins for Houseleon (Boss)

Soul Ablaze Fire	Gust of Gorgeous Wind	Got Your Back Darkness	Watch Your Step Kinesis

Equip Pin That Doesn't Need to Lock On

The Houseleon is often camouflaged, making you unable to lock on to it, so have a Pin that doesn't need to lock on to a target in order to attack. Otherwise, you'll waste time with moments wherein you don't have any attack options. A great Pin to use for this is Watch Your Step, as you just move the control stick around and it can stun the Houseleon and other enemies.

Equip Fire and Wind Pins

The Houseleon has an Affinity weakness to Fire and Wind Pins, so equip pins of those affinity. Soul Ablaze and Gust of Gorgeous are two Pins that fit those types and they both allow you to keep a distance from the Houseleon, in order to avoid its shockwave defense mechanism.

Tips & Strategies for Beating Houseleon (Boss)

★ Strategy Checklist ★
Defeat the other Noise first Attack the Houseleon when it locks on to you Avoid staying near the Houseleon for long periods

Defeat Other Noise First

Focusing only on the Houseleon is difficult since it only shows itself once in a while. It's recommended to erase the other Noise from the battle first, so that they don't attack you or mess with your targeting when the Houseleon does show itself.

Attack Houseleon When it Aims at You

You can only lock on to the Houseleon when it reveals itself to lock on to you. Circles resembling a reticle appears around your character when the Houseleon is targeting you. When the circles appear, immediately look for the Houseleon (its eyes will be the first body part visible) and move to attack/immobilize it.

Avoid Staying Near Houseleon

Staying near the Houseleon will eventually cause it to trigger an electricity shockwave. The blast range is quite large, so try to only attack it directly in short bursts of time. Houseleon charging up the attack is denoted by its body glowing yellow and blue.
