How to Beat Karakuri

Karakuri Strategy
Jump From the Rotating Laser Beam Destroy the Minions With the Slash Beta Skill New Moves at 60% HP Below

Jump From the Rotating Laser Beam

At the beginning of the battle, Karakuri will immediately do a Rotating Laser Beam attack. Being alert and jumping readily before it hits you is optimal.

Destroy the Minions With the Slash Beta Skill

Slash Beta Skill	+

Karakuri, from time to time, will spawn Kokeshis to aid it in battle usually when it starts to back away from Eve.

The best counterattack to this is by using the Slash Beta Skill as soon as the Kokeshis spawn. It sweeps an entire row clear of these smaller enemies.

Slash Beta Skill

More Kokeshi When Karakuri is at 60% HP Below

At 60% HP, Karakuri will be summoning its Kokeshis twice. Before and after it backs away. The optimal strategy for this is to ignore the Kokeshis summoned the first time as these are few compared to the second wave of Kokeshis.

Focus on the larger groups of Kokeshis and use your Beta Skill to diminish every spawn at once.

Kokeshi How to Beat

Defeat All Kokeshi

When Karakuri summons its Kokeshis, do your best to defeat every single one as failing to do so or ignoring them totally will lead to them attacking you all at once.

This can prove lethal when facing multiple Kokeshis plus Karakuri giving you a difficult time as well.

Combat Tips and Combos

New Moves at 60% HP Below

When Karakuri is down at 60% HP, it will gain additional moves and the Kokeshis spawned will be greater than usual.

The thing you have to worry about is not the additional moveset , but the Kokeshis, as failing to defeat them can cause fatal repercussions.
