How to Beat Hans

Steps on How to Beat Hans
Tip 1:Avoid It’s Continuous Onslaught Tip 2:Beware of Falling Rocks Tip 3:Strike with Electricity

Tip 1: Avoid It’s Continuous Onslaught

Hans will continue to launch melee attacks in quick succession, one after another. Utilize Perfect Dodge and Assist, but be prepared for additional attacks afterwards. Since all of Hans' attacks are melee, it is advisable to reposition immediately if the Agent gets hit, far from melee range, before re-engaging. 

Tip 2: Beware of Falling Rocks

Hans can continuously throw rocks in a circular area. This move persists even if it has been avoided via Perfect Dodge or Perfect Assist, so make sure to get out of its circular area of effect to avoid taking damage. 

Tip 3: Strike with Electricity

Machine type enemies are generally weak to Electricity, and Hans is no exception. However, Hans is resistant to Physical, so plenty of any Agent's normal attacks will feel insignificant. Keep on attacking to acquire energy, and take advantage of Chain Attacks and Perfect Assists to deal Electric Damage until enough energy and decible rating are available for EX Special Attacks and Ultimates.
