(see Advance video example) ==== Advanced ==== * Heavy x3 -> Sky High + Dodge * if Armstrong does two attacks instead of one, dodge another time * Sky High until healing patch, cut the patch * Sky High until <20% * cancel upwards with Falling Lightning ==== Sky High Cancels ==== [[https://youtu.be/lakfLfblfLw?t=320|IL Example by Darkslayer]] * RM + Lightning Strike * Cancel out of LS as early as possible * Sky High Cancels, until Armstrong gets launched * Small pause, then SHC’s, until Armstrong goes into healing phase * Cut the healing patch, Sky High x3, then Falling Lightning * SHC’s until Armstrong stands up * Time your Falling Lightning to prevent Armstrong from going upwards, RM can help you with that * If Armstrong had less than 20% HP before he started to wake up, final QTE will start * If Armstrong had more than 20% HP, you’ll be forced to cut another health patch, then knock him back * Final QTE will occur right after he stands back up ====== R07 Key Points ====== * EXCELSUS is a consistent fight, but getting to 40% HP might pose a problem at first. * SHC’s on Armstrong is the fastest way to kill him, but it requires a ton of practice, which can be a problem. * Therefore, refer to two easier strategies listed in a guide, until you feel like you’re ready to do SHC’s. * Doing SHC’s is very taxing on hands, get a proper grip on your gamepad/keyboard, or the efficiency of this method will be drastically lowered. ---- [[revengance|Return back to MGRR page overview]] metal_gear_rising/mgrrr07.txt Last modified: 2023/02/03 09:33by hau5test
