Defilers Use Both Melee and Ranged Attacks

Defiler's attacks are both melee and ranged attacks and can vary from a direct attack or a scattered attack.

These attacks are easily dodgable though, so time your dodges to fill up your Burst Energy.

How to Perfect Dodge

Use Your Gun

Since Defilers, when encountered in Altess Levoire or Abyss Levoire, cannot be defeated by melee attacks, using your Gun is actually the best strategy to deal with it.

How to Use Ranged Attacks
