Karen's main attack will be a 3-hit melee combo that can deal high damage if all of them connect. This can be avoided through dodging or Perfect Dodging. The latter will give you an opportunity to strike back.

Electrokinesis

Scarlet Nexus - Karen (Phase 3) Electrokinesis

Karen will often unleash an aerial Electrokinesis attack that deals damage in a small AoE in front of him. While the range is small and the attack easily sidestepped, be cautious as getting hit will Stun you!

Cryokinesis

Karen will have access to Cryokinesis for this fight. He begins by kneeling before summoning spikes of ice from the ground that deals massive damage to the player. Use Arashi's Hypervelocity to get clear of the attack's large AoE.
