Aim for the Head

Chainsaw Man is weak against headshots. Shoot it there a few times to make it stagger and go for a melee attack to inflict more damage. The Chainsaw Man does not get knocked down by the melee attack though. It merely gets knocked a bit backwards.

Shoot the Knees

You can immobilize the Chainsaw Man by shooting its knees. You can then go for a melee attack once down, allowing you to deal more damage against it.

Avoid Parrying its Attacks

Parrying will remove all the durability of your knife . It's best to keep your distance from Chainsaw users instead. If you find yourself cornered, you can use any weapon in your inventory like the Flash Grenade to stagger Chainsaw users.

Although there may be times when you don't have a choice, only parry a Chainsaw users attack when absolutely necessary.

How to Parry Attacks

Don't Shoot the Chainsaw

Chainsaw Man's chainsaw can block off your bullets. Depending on its stance, it can barricade its body with the chainsaw. Look for any vulnerable spots, either the head or knees, and shoot them instead for a clean hit.

Lure Chainsaw Man into the Enemies

Chainsaw Man can hit their allies with his chainsaw and even kill them if their low on health. Use it to your advantage by luring the Chainsaw Man into the swarm of enemies, or vice versa.

Don't Come Near it When it's Dying

Chainsaw Man has death animation where he swings his chainsaw around. The chainsaw can still damage Leon, including other enemies in the game.

Stronger in Mad Chainsaw Mode (Demo)

Chainsaw Man's chainsaw is on fire in Mad Chainsaw Mode in the Demo, making it much stronger than in the Standard Difficulty. It can kill you in one attack, so keep your distance all the time to avoid getting sliced and dying instantly.

Also, if you're planning to fight it, don't conserve your resources, or you'll end up dying.
