How to Fight Wraiths

How to Fight

The best way to deal with Wraiths is to put down Yrden Sign traps and wait for them to get close to you. The traps can significantly slow down their attacks allowing you to dodge their teleporting attakks. Once you are able to dodge their teleporting attack you can use this opening to deal a lot of damage to them.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Specter oil to deal bonus damage to them. You can prepare some Moon Dust Bomb to prevent them from staying in ethereal from whenever they attack.

Special Sign Effects

  • Yrden - This can significantly slow them down and allow you to react to their attacks faster.
  • Axii - This can stun them for a short duration or turn them into allies if you have the Puppet or Domination skills.
