Attack With a Thrust Attack
Players will want to focus on using a flurry of horizontal and vertical slashes, and thrust attacks. With each landed attack, LD-003D Dreadfuse will be pushed further and further back.
Landing an attack has a chance to stagger (put the enemy on its back foot) LD-003D Dreadfuse, which leaves it open to more attacks.
Shield Bash Incoming Counter Attacks
When LD-003D Dreadfuse starts to counter attack, time a Shield Bash and parry the attack. When done correctly, this will stagger LD-003D Dreadfuse and leave it open for you to attack.

Attack patterns and Shield Bash timing changes
There are 3 phases to the LD-003D Dreadfuse fight and each phase has different attack patterns and Shield Bash timing. Just before LD-003D Dreadfuse attacks, it will stutter which should be your cue to get ready and Shield Bash.
Do not use an Iron Shield
LD-003D Dreadfuse attacks with electricity. The Iron Shield is weak against electricity so even if players block or Shield Bash an attack they will still be electrocuted and take damage.
When LD-003D Dreadfuse Covers Itself With Electricity, Wait it Out
In certain situations, LD-003D Dreadfuse will cover itself with electricity. If players attack during this time, it is possible that you will get shocked and take damage. The best thing to do during this time is to just wait it out.
