Dead Cells- Assassin Boss (Vitality - Shield build)

This boss is quite vulnerable to parries, each and every one of his attacks can be parried if timed well.
On the 3rd phase, if you don't time it well, you will be able to parry the first slash of his combo but the 2nd and 3rd will be too fast for you. so you either time it well or parry the first, roll the 2nd and parry the 3rd.

With all the parrying, reminds me of Furi.

[@ivernossern9806]

What is the shield used here? Never seen it before.

[@Marburg-chan]

punishment, i played the beta before the patch was implemented (the model changed after the patch) and managed to get the blueprint outside of the clocktower. later it was made so the blueprint was behind a locked door in the clock tower, i think you gotta sound the bells around the map to get the key to unlock it. ( starting with the lowest sounding ones and scalating to end with the loudest, the key drops from the last bell)

[@liberator48]

fuck timing those parries, any other suggestions?

[@Marburg-chan]

you can bait his melee slashes by jumping near him, then use the double jump to get out of range and hit her in the back, for the 2hit combo jump and roll, for the 3rd one u may bait the first 2 with the jump and roll the 3rd. You could dodge the shurikens using double jump and then roll mid-air, same with the chain attack. in other words, just roll anythng u can't dodge using the double jumps.

[@vvav]

Easiest way is to get freeze grenade with 4x slow duration, so that you actually have time to dodge the attacks. Then put down traps to deal damage while you just try not to die.

[@w-gsnow8427]

meanwhile I take her down in less than 30 secs without taking a hit...
granted i was doing 10k per attack with the thot-gun plus damage and bleed from knife storm at around 1k per tick. and frost blast. and everthing did 175% damage to frozen targets.
yeah it was a lucky run...
thats the last time it'll happen

[@Marburg-chan]

good for you m8, last time i went this build i parried her 3 times and she died :^), i think i had like 24 vitality.

[@luismartines2420]

I used the lightning bolt that did 5100 damage, which is a lot
