How to Unlock Notorious Marionette

Fight in Deadly Assault to Unlock

Deadly Assault

A new endgame mode introduced in Version 1.4 is Deadly Assault, in which Proxies must use 3 unique parties to fight 3 powerful bosses.

The first season of Deadly Assault features the Notorious - Marionette, and upon defeating it, its enemy card will be unlocked.

How to Beat Notorious - Marionette

Steps on How to Beat Notorious - Marionette


Utilize Perfect Assists and Dodge Counters

The Notorious - Marionette, though quick and agile, has fairly predictable attacks. Keep your eyes peeled for golden attack cues and either use Dodge Counters or execute Perfect Assists to deliver your own counterattacks.

Do take note that as a more powerful variant of the Twin Marionettes, it will have longer and more powerful attack strings which can incapacitate your Agents almost instantly if you're not careful.

How to Do Perfect and Quick Assists

Destroy the Dance Partner

Unlike the twin Marionettes, the Notorious - Marionette fights alone...or so it would seem. Most of the time, it will summon a phantom Dance Partner to assist with attacks and for reviving itself.

However, the Dance Partner has substantially low HP, so destroy the Dance Partner every chance you get. Doing so will increase the next Stun's duration of the Marionette and will effectively lead to more DMG.

Use Ice and Ether Characters

Use a team of Ice or Ether characters to easily beat Notorious - Marionette since it is weak to both of these Attrbutes.

The Notorious Marionette is not resistant to any other Attribute. Therefore, Proxies may adjust their party compositions according to the Agents they have already recruited.

Is something wrong with this boss? This is the only enemy that i have a problem with dodge. I am pressing dodge buttons in same way like for any other boss but for here it wont work in most of cases. Does she have different timeing? Or she have bad hitboxes?
